Oral history with Roosevelt Sands Sr (audio and transcript; he talks about the playing baseball among other topics): milemarkers.fiu.edu/interviews/sands/ The county health department clinic in Key West is named for Roosevelt Sands.

Thanks again! Great resource for additional information on Mr. Sands. Bonus points for finding an interview where he mentions baseball!

"Notice by the faculty that five of the best oarsmen in the freshman eight have been placed on probation in their studies came as a shock to the Yale rowing officials." Boston Evening Transcript 13 May 1915. news.google.com/newspapers?id=GUwnAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7AMGA...

The Yale banner and pot pourri, Volume 8 books.google.com/books?id=JC3OAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA205&l... lists the same freshman crew as racing Harvard on June 25, 1915. Yale won. The report of the regatta in the Harvard Crimson is at www.thecrimson.com/article/1915/9/24/yale-gained-aquatic-...

www.corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/U28257INP... could be taken at the same time. If so, this is on June 10, 1915, "At New Training Quarters Of Yale Oarsmen at Gales Ferry On The Thames: Yale freshman crew. Left to right: Lawrence, stroke; Coombe, 7; Coleman, 6; MacNaughton, 5; Glover, 4; Converse, 3; Lovejoy, 2; Rockefeller, bow, and Lashar, cox." One of the orderings must be wrong. The Bain photo has the names (apart from the cox) in the opposite order.

These freshmen would have been in the Yale class of 1918. That class included a William A. Rockefeller. See www.millionairesunit.org/index.php?option=com_content&... for a photo, which could be the guy at the right-hand end or the left-hand end of the line. The page also has a picture of Reginald G. Coombe who was the captain of the crew team here. Again, it is not possible to say definitively which he is. George Francklyn Lawrence is also pictured. These initials match those provided in the Harvard Crimson (in my comment above): "Yale freshman eight.--Stroke, G. F. Lawrence, 7, R. G. Coombs ;6, R. L. Coleman, Jr.; 5, L. M. McNaughton; 4, J. L. Glover; 3, R. R. S. Converse; 2, F. H. Lovejoy; bow, W. A. Rockfeller; cox., T. H. Lashar."

Converse appears to be Rob Roy Stearns Converse. books.google.com/books?id=xwIcAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA10-PA108&... suggests that the cox is Thomas Holmes Lashar who applied for a patent for method to prevent tarnish on silver. His father Thomas. B Lashar was a designer of silver flatware.
