...days has been encouraging on the whole, and the men have acquired better control of their slides. On the other hand, the boat has travelled poorly at times, and there seems to be some difficulty about steadying down after a racing start. There is still a tendency to clip the stroke and to slump at the finish...
...sprint the stroke was rapidly put up to 33 to the minute, and in the stretch extending from below the Stillman Infirmary to the boathouse it was raised to 36. The crew showed even better form with a high stroke than with a low, although it tended naturally to clip the stroke a little at the finish...
...crews have rowed so little together, and there have been so many changes in the boats.

Weld is inclined to clip the finish of the stroke, and at times there is a noticeable check of the shell between strokes, as the men do not control their slides well. Furthermore, although Weld is decidedly fast over the first part of the course, the boat becomes dead towards the finish. The second Weld crew should...
Harvard's Freshman crew is expected to win the first race of the day in the Regatta. The crew has been rowing well since a week before the men left Cambridge.

This lead was maintained with slight variations until the crews passed the 3 1-2 mile post. Both rowed hard, making a very pretty race. Entering the last half-mile, Farley...
