Changes back and forth are still being made in the Sophomore crew, and the first boat has not been at all definitely picked. The crew has shown little progress, and the rowing is still rough. The boat is unsteady, and there are still many rudimentary faults which the men do not seem to correct...
...Harvard Club of Maryland has chartered a boat to follow the race. The boat will start from the foot of Broadway, Baltimore, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
