...strong northwest wind turned back the four University crews on Saturday afternoon from their scheduled mile and three quarters race on the Charles River Basin. The weather conditions were so unfavorable even on the short stretches above Newell boathouse that Coach E. J. Brown '96 limited the practice to a few quarter mile sprints for the four boats. The oarsmen were not on the river longer than three quarters of an hour...
...four University crews will venture on the rough water of the Charles River Basin at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the first full distance race of the spring. Weather permitting, Coach E. J. Brown '96 plans to settle today the question of supremacy among the recently rearranged A, B, C, and D crews by a regulation mile and three quarters test.

S. This measure President Coolidge promised to veto. Senator Jones of Washington then tried his hand at the problem...
Although the ice lined the Cambridge bank of the river and was piled in floes in the basin around the Weeks Memorial Bridge, a quarter of a mile of open water above the Newell Boat House gave the boats room for a good workout. Attempts have been made during the past week to keep the river open for the daily-passage of boats, but the severe weather has closed up each night the lane opened during...
