...return of Barnes to 7, and has improved during the last two days. The Junior crew, under Coach Stephenson, was badly defeated by the second University crew last Monday, and showed many faults in the race. The bad tendency to jab the oars in after hanging on the catch has been partially corrected, and the crew is certainly rowing in better form now than that shown on Monday. The second and third Freshman crews are well up to the standard of secondary Freshman crews...
Tufts' run came in the sixth inning after E. Martin had reached first on a base on balls. Ernst tried to catch him off the base, and threw wild to McLaughlin, allowing the runner to make the only score of the game. The visitors were dangerous again in the eighth inning when Dustin hit safely to left field and stole second. Qualters was given his base and H. Martin sacrificed, putting men on second and third with only one out. Knight was thrown out at first, Lanigan to McLaughlin; and Ernst struck out Dickinson, retiring the side without a score...
...Harvard, the eighth inning opened with Hicks's strike-out. Carr was passed, and went to second on Trumbull's catch of McLaughlin's foul fly near the first base fence. Potter followed with a long two-base hit to centre field which Hamilton could not reach, scoring Carr with the first run. Winter's poor handling of Aronson's difficult grounder advanced Potter to third, but he was left there when Lanigan fanned...

The University crew, on the other hand, rowed a clean, hard race. The men used their weight and body swing better than did the Annapolis crew, and showed an abundance of reserve power at the finish. The time was rather poor but this is accounted for by the fact that the race was rowed against the tide, as well as against what wind there was. In a practice trial...
...before lunch, practicing three racing starts which went very well. In the afternoon the crew paddled over the inside course. The work was very encouraging and the crew continued the steady improvement shown in Cambridge early in the week, getting a better proportion throughout the stroke, and quickening the catch. Owing to the change from fresh to salt water all the riggers in the new shell had to be lowered. Coach Wray followed the work in a single, the weather being splendid...
