...Wald '10, number six on the present Freshman crew. The boat will also become va crew. The bow seat will also become vacant when R. M. Tappan '07, graduates. P. Wyman '10, C. Wiggins '08, and S. Marvin '10 are considered available men. Whether or not Coach Wray will deem it advisable to change about any of the men in the boat who return is not known; but it is quite possible that only one preliminary race before the Yale race will be rowed...

The men took hold of the water with a vigor which has not before been seen, and sent their shell along at a good rate, even at the low stroke of 28 and 30. The Freshman crew also went well. Buxton is back again at 4, as his threatened attack of mumps did not develop. Wyman was out again in a pair-oar, and in a scrub...
