...crew squad held its first fall practice on the river. Three crews were made up and left the Newell boat-house separately, going up-stream. Neither launch was in commission and all the coaching was done by Mr. Wray from his single shell, despite the rough water. E. C. Bacon '10 and Sargent '10, both members of last year's Freshman eight, were at stroke and bow, respectively, for the first time in the University crew. Morgan rowed at 4, the position occupied by Captain Bacon last year, but with the above exceptions the eight rowed in the same order...

With the final eight picked, and another week for Coach Wray to round the crew into perfect form, Harvard's chances of victory seem very bright. Our only wish is that Captain Bacon's men will have to further setbacks due to sickness. With the crew in its best condition, we are confident that the final and most important race of the year will be a success from a Harvard standpoint...
...Harvard crews had left the river, and went downstream as far as the Navy Yard in the launch. On account of the rough water the crew climbed into their shell just below the Navy Yard and rowed upstream over the last two miles of the University course. Bacon kept his stroke about 30 to 32 until the last half-mile, when he raised the pace to 34. The crew as a whole did not row as well as it has for the past few days. The men on the starboard side of the shell all pulled short at the finish...
