...with the Seniors on the outside. During the first part of the race, the Freshman crew with a stroke of 38, gained half a length over the other crews. The Seniors, however, increased their stroke and caught up slowly with the Freshmen, leaving the Juniors and Sophomores a length behind. Just before Harvard bridge, Webster, who was rowing 6 in the Senior eight, broke his oar and jumped from the boat, narrowly missing being run down by the referee's launch...
...about a length. The Sophomores and Seniors were second with the Juniors a length in the rear. About a half-mile from the finish the Juniors made a spurt and nearly over took the Sophomores. The Seniors were unable to keep up the pace and dropped half a length behind. From here the relative positions of the crews remained the same. Just before the finish Amberg, at 7 on the Freshman boat, also broke his oar, but the crew was so near the line that the accident made no apparent difference...
Another habit which should be frowned upon is that of starting short-cuts in places where a new path is not really needed, as for example, behind Memorial Hall or at one side of Pierce Hall. In the end a gravel path must be put down in all such places,--a procedure which if allowed to go much further will result in a network of pathways so confused as to take away entirely the effect of a stretch of green lawn. Since the trouble comes from thoughtlessness it is only necessary to remember that by exercising a little care...
...second mile. Here D: Grant 4M. forged to the front and alternated in the lead with A. King 2L. until the last half lap. At this point W. G.

...race with the second crew last Saturday over a course of three and seven-eighths miles the University crew, which started 12 seconds behind its opponent, was about a length and a half in the lead at the finish, opposite the Union boathouse. At the Longwood bridge the University crew was forced to slacken speed in order to allow the second crew to go through the draw, thus losing about four lengths. At this point the Freshman crew entered the race, but on account of the weakness of one of its members, withdrew a half-mile below Harvard bridge...
