...rain. Snyder and Slater pitched in the 40-minute batting practice. The men hit the ball hard and placed bunts neatly, and the fielders played with spirit. Fielding on the diamond followed for 20 minutes, during which the work was lively and accurate. Stephenson threw to bases, in clean form and Burr at first base covered his position well. The out-fielding was fast and sure...
...showed a tendency to shorten the stroke at the catch. These faults were probably due in a large degree to the changes in the crew; but the work of Emmons at 7 and Swaim at 6 was in decided contrast to the poor showing of the other men. The clean form of Swaim was especially creditable as he had been rowing on the starboard side in the Junior boat...

The body swing of the Senior and Sophomore crews has decidedly improved and the blade work is clean. The work of the Junior crew, however, has been seriously retarded by irregularity of the men in reporting. The blade work is poor and the men frequently catch crabs. There are almost enough men to form a third crew. The Sophomore crew has been rowing in long stretches and has been practicing...
