...Newell Freshman crews was won by the first Weld with the first Newell half a length behind. The time, 9m. 18s., is doubtful, as the watches of the coaches did not agree. Only six of the seven crews entered competed, for the coxswain of the second Newell ran his boat into the railroad bridge on the way to the start, breaking number four's outrigger and staving a hole in the bottom of the shell...
...very poor start. Bow and stern four did not appear to be rowing together and there was an absence of life and dash in the stroke. The men in the eight, however, were all rowing strongly, and after a quarter mile of the distance had been traversed the boat had moved up to second place.

After the race at Annapolis the second crew will row against the university in the spring regatta, and it will then be reduced to a four-oared crew to row at New London against the Harvard four...
...following the body swing with a leg drive has been replaced by the simultaneous action of both leg and body. The body swing and the slide have been shortened, and a sharper, more snappy stroke has resulted. The breadth of the oars has been increased in the first boat to 7 1-4 inches, and in the second boat to 6 1-2 inches from 6 inches last year. The new cedar shell made by Ruddock of New York has arrived and will be used in the Annapolis race...
