...work in preparation for the Annapolis race next Wednesday was done yesterday, when the University crew raced a mile and seven-eighths, paced for the first mile and a quarter by the University second crew and the last half-mile by the Freshmen. On the start, opposite the Union Boat Club, the first crew drew away from the second, although rowing a lower stroke, and after the first quarter-mile led by a length. The University crew was rowing about 32 and the second about two points higher. This lead was maintained for the next half-mile; but going under...
...slight improvement has been made. Yesterday there was a mile race between the first and second crews, in which the second held the first to a length at the finish. The rowing was for the most part smooth, but when the stroke was put up at the finish the boat went to pieces badly...
...changes were made in the Freshman eights during the week. Cutler and Snedeker have stroked the first and second crews respectively ever since they have been on the river; Hooper has continued to hold down seven, and Forster two on the first boat. Although the first crew rows fairly well, it is palpably weak in certain points; it fails to keep the boat on any sort of even keel, washes out on the finish by feathering under water, and hurries the slides back before the catch has fully been made...
...first boat Sargent has been rowing regularly at stroke since replacing Morgan on Monday. The difficulty will be to develop a stroke whose reach is naturally long enough and steady enough for the rest of the crew to follow easily. Taken as a whole, the boat runs smoothly, but there is still a tendency to row straight from the arms and lose the shoulder swing, and to rush the stroke immediately after the finish. The second boat, stroked by Reece, contains a powerful crew, which may possibly represent the University in the Henley regatta at Philadelphia the last...
...Freshman crews are not progressing very rapidly in form; their rowing is for the most part ragged and undeveloped. They are now under the supervision of Coach Wray, as Coach Stephenson is devoting his entire attention to the class crews. The first boat is distinctly the best, but its make-up is constantly being changed. Smith, who until recently rowed six, has been changed to the starboard side, going in at five, and Eaton has been put in his place...
