...weather continues to be very hot, the crews had light work again this morning. The University eight went down-stream to the mile mark and back in easy stretches. The boat went very well and spaced out beautifully on a perfectly even keel; the finish was hard and the catch quick and there was plenty of life in the boat. All the crews did about the same work as the University eight, the Freshman crew also rowing very well. R. F. Hoopel 11 returned to the quarters early this morning and a complete change in the second-four resulted. Richardson...
...continued to space a few feet even when the crew was rowing 40; the men finished strong and in good condition. Lunt's rowing at 2 was short however, and both Cutlers were often feathering too high. The crew has still to acquire a harder finish and a quick catch...
...over yesterday's work and appears to be slowly emerging from last week's decided slump. The men were using their shoulders to better advantage at the finish, with the result that the boat was faster and much more life was shown in getting the oars in at the catch. The work of the three fours was also encouraging and the Freshman eight continued to improve, showing signs of being faster than last year's crew.

The baffled harpies are driven to "bleeding" guileless Freshmen, haunting their rooms during the first two or three days in order to catch them before the first installments of allowances are exhausted, or before they cut their eyeteeth. Thus the greatest part of the total yearly income by subscriptions is made up; much of the remainder is accounted for by the contributions of competitors' friends...
...more powerful finish and a low stroke has been maintained. The Freshman eight has improved steadily since its race with the Cornell freshmen. Coach Wray has been paying special attention to the recovery and has been trying to get the men to slow down their slides before the catch in order that the boat may space out well between strokes without checking. Both crews will probably have hard work and long rows this week before leaving for New London after examinations next Monday...
