...quarter-mile Springfield, was drawing ahead. At the Harvard bridge the Freshman coxswain had to steer so close to the other shell to avoid, a raft that Jose at 2 in the Harvard boat struck his oar against that of Hicks, Springfield's number 7, and caught a slight crab. From this point the superiority of the Springfield crew was apparent, and they finished well together, with a strong spurt...
...length behind, and finished three-quarters of a length ahead. The Freshman boat went as well as it has at any time this season. The University four-oar rowed over the two-mile course, but no time was taken. The crew was not well together and Emmons caught a crab near the mile and a half flag...

This enabled the Newell crew to gain half a length, which it kept for only a short distance. The time was 11 minutes and 37 seconds...
