...squads were called out for spring rowing soon after the mid-year examinations, and since then the squads have been gradually cut down, until the combinations have at last been selected. This year all the Harvard crews have struggled against unusual difficulties in the way of sickness and continued cold weather. The ice was later than usual in leaving the Charles, and even after it finally went, the late winter made rowing decidedly uncomfortable. In regard to sickness, Captain Bacon is the only man that has been in the boat since the season started. Richardson was unable to report...

That the University crew was defeated is a disappointment, but must not be considered as effecting the ultimate chances any more than the defeat of the baseball team by Cornell. Coming as it did early in a season retarded by cold weather, the race on Saturday was a try-out for the men individually rather than for the Harvard crew as a whole. In form the eight rowed smoothly, but lacked the fire and generalship necessary to win a short race...
