Another change was made in the order of the University crew yesterday, when Severance, who has been rowing at 7 during the whole season, was displaced by Amberg. Amberg rowed at 5 for some time, while Richardson was out of the boat on account of troub'e with his knee, and at that time showed up so well that Coach Wray decided to retain him for the University crew. Severance was moved to number 3 and Lunt and Faulkner, who have both been tried at that position during the week, were moved to the second crew. Another important change occurred...

Both crews rowed downstream half way between Harvard bridge and the Union Boat Club yesterday afternoon, in long stretches, and the long, even stroke of the University crew was well maintained until the stroke was raised...
