...crews got off at 6.35 o'clock, but as Sargent jumped his slide in the first few strokes, both eights stopped rowing when Blagden raised his hand as a signal of an accident. After this false start, further delay was caused by the drifting of the Cornell stake-boat. When the crews finally got away, Cornell gained a lead of half a length, both crews rowing 40 strokes to the minute. Soon after the start the stroke of both eights was lowered to 36, with Cornell leading and at the half-mile mark Cornell was still half a length ahead...
...finish. This year we seem to have slightly the advantage of our opponents. To be sure, the Cornell crew broke the record on the Henley course last Saturday in the race with the Harvard second crew, but none of the men are oarsmen of much experience in a university boat. On the other hand the Harvard crew is chiefly composed of members of last year's victorious eight, and the order has remained practically unchanged throughout the season. Combine this advantage in experience with superior weight, and the result should be a victory for Harvard...

However, the crew is as good if not better than the average Freshman crew, and there is a great deal of power in the boat. The advantage is all with Harvard in respect to weight and strength...
Since early in February, when the freshman candidates were first called out at Cornell, the first crew has had practically the same order throughout the season. Distler, at stroke, has had much experience and is one of the best oars in the boat. Although lacking in weight and strength as compared to Cornell's University crew, the freshman eight's watermanship and form is very good, and the University crew has a hard time in beating them in a mile race...
