...Freshman eight last year, rowed 2. The rowing of the University crew seemed fairly good for the first day out, but the slide work was erratic and the men did not time their work so as to be well together at the catch, although the blade work was pretty clean. Voorhees coxswained in place of King, who is sick...
...Yale having a slight advantage, which was increased to almost a length by the time the half-mile flag was reached. On nearing the mile mark, where rough water was encountered, Harvard made her supreme effort, and soon after passing the mile flag went into the lead, rowing a clean 31 to Yale's desperate 34. Yale held on doggedly, but at the mile and one-half mark was a length and three-quarters behind. Harvard finished in 13 minutes, 14 seconds, three and one-half lengths ahead. Yale's time was 13 minutes, 22 seconds...

In 1899 the University crews were all victorious at New London, but at that time there were only three races, those between the university eights and fours and freshman eights, so the out come of this year's races was even more triumphant...

Yale finished almost a whole minute behind in 12 minutes 9 seconds...

For the next few innings the hits were wasted for either they came too late or the men were out trying to steal second. Lanigan opened the sixth with a clean hit to centre and Harvey's out, Logan to Jefferson, put him on second. Currier, however, hit a liner to Cushman from which a double play at second would have resulted but for the latter's poor head-work. Simons repeated his effort of the first inning by sending...
