...work of the University crew yesterday afternoon was varied in character. The men went upstream to the Brighton bridge, rowed down as far as the Boylston street bridge, and then took a stretch upstream again as far as the Stillman Infirmary, before returning to the University boathouse. The distance covered was about 4 and 1-2 miles. At times a fairly fast stroke was rowed, and at other times the crew merely paddled. In the single racing start that was attempted the University crew was able to pull ahead of the second. Considerable improvement in the first crew over Tuesday...
...been rowing in the four-oar went into Swaim's seat at 5. Fahnestock went into the four-oar as stroke in place of Hyde.

Before rowing upstream with the University crew, the second tried three racing starts against the Freshman crew. In two of these burshes the 1910 boat finished ahead, but the University second won the other...

The crews then rowed upstream again, and the work was greatly improved...
...made in the squad yesterday, and six crews were retained. Two rowed in the University boathouse and the other four were sent out on the river. The first and second crews rowed up-stream to the Brighton bridge and then back to Western avenue bridge, returning to the boathouse. The other eights also had light work...
