...spring, the crew has developed into an exceptionally powerful and fast eight. Since the Columbia race on April 17, the order has been unchanged except for the absence of R. Cutler for one day and the temporary illness of Waid during the last few days. The men are much better together than they were a month ago and the crew has improved materially. The boat moves out well between strokes without any noticeable check, the slide work is even and smooth, and the crew as a whole shows racing power and drive. Five out of the eight...

Trump rowed in a compromise, which gave him an advantage over the others who were all in single scills as it was much better suited to the rough water. S. Royce '10, who finished second, showed the best form, and by a good spurt in the last quarter of a mile, went up from fourth to second place. E. S. Eaton '11 finished third, and H. W. Bissell 3L., last year's winner, finished...
