...Freshman interclub crew races between three crews from the Weld and two from the Newell Boat Clubs will be rowed this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The course will be down stream a mile and a half, with the finish at the Union Boat Club. The race will be very important as a test both of the rowing material in the Freshman class, and of the relative merits of the two strokes taught at the Weld and at the Newell. A larger proportion of the men than ever has rowed at their preparatory schools. The drawing for positions gives...

Boat racks will be placed on the walls of the rowing room...

The first Newell crew, which was second at the finish, was a length and three-quarters ahead of the second Weld, which in turn led the second Newell by a quarter of a length of open water. The start was not made until one o'clock owing to the difficulty of securing a coxswain...
