...rowing squad yesterday afternoon. Together with the first two Freshman crews, the University and second eights rowed downstream at about 5.30 to Harvard bridge. There the second crews stopped, but the other two crews continued downstream and rowed over the entire mile and seven-eights course to the Union Boat Club. No attempt at a time row was made by either crew, but both paddled slowly, keeping the stroke below thirty-two to the minute. The work of the University crew was very listless, especially when the stroke went as low as twenty-six or eight...
Yesterday afternoon the University crew rowed in the same order as on Monday, and considerable improvement was shown. In the second crew, Swaim was shifted to the other side of the boat and was out in at 6 in place of Mulligan. Morgan took Swaim's former seat at 3. Both crews rowed up to the Brighton bridge together and the advance over the ragged rowing shown on Monday, caused by the shake-up, was very noticeable. Wray coached from the launch, but gave the men only light work, as the rough water prevented the crews from going downstream...
...Freshman crews have also undergone several shifts since Saturday's race. Meyer, who stroked the first crew, has been laid off for a time and Bacon is being tried out in his position. Buxton has been moved down in the boat from 4, to replace Bacon, who has been rowing at 6. Deming and Sargent were both tried at 4 yesterday. The first two crews rowed up and back to the Brighton bridge twice and practiced starts...
...accordance with plans made before the Columbia race, quite a shake-up occurred yesterday afternoon in the University crew. Farley went into the boat at stroke, replacing Tappan, who with Fish, will be given a rest for a few days. Richardson was moved from 6 to 7, occupying the place of Amberg, who was put into the second boat at 7, where Morgan had previously been rowing. This shift of Amberg is in no wise due to his work in the race on Saturday, which was entirely satisfactory. The change was made in accordance with the advice...
...changes in the University boat necessitated a re-arrangement of the second. G. Bacon was shifted to stroke from 2; and Mulligan, Fahnestock, and Macdonald from the four-oar replaced Lovering, Lunt and Bacon at 6, 4, and 2, respectively. Lovering was given a rest. No four-oared crew went, out, but Morgan and Cutler rowed in single sculls...
