...interclub boat race yesterday was won by a scant length by the first Weld crew in 9 minutes and 44 seconds, fairly good time considering that the wind blew across the course, kicking up a choppy sea which bothered the star-board men considerably. The first Newell crew, which was second at the finish, was a length and three-quarters ahead of the second Weld, which in turn led the second Newell by a quarter of a length of open water. The start was not made until one o'clock owing to the difficulty of securing a coxswain...
...first Weld and the second Newell got the best of the other two crews on the start, but the first Newell rapidly drew up to second place which it kept throughout the race. At the end of the first half mile the Weld crew lead by a length and a quarter, but by hard rowing, followed by a spurt at the bridge, the Newell crew reduced this lead to three-quarters of a length. The Weld gradually drew away again, but just before the finish the Newell spurted again until they were only half a length behind. G. Bancroft, stroke...
...graded crews of the Weld and Newell Clubs will race at noon today, down stream, over the regular class crew course, starting at the railroad bridge, and finishing at the Union Boat House. This is the first time that there has been any Newell fall crew, for the club was only started last February, but in the past there have usually been races at this time of year between the Weld eights and crews formed at the University boat-house. This fall there is no 'Varsity rowing, but most of last year's crews are on the club eights...
Until Tuesday the race promised to be slightly in favor of the Newell crew, but on that day Glidden, who was rowing at 3 in the Newell eight, stopped rowing. Frost was tried in his place, but as he could not row in the race, Morris, who rowed bow in last year's Freshman crew, but has not been in training this fall, was put in at bow yesterday, and DuBois was moved from bow to Glidden's place at 3. Although Morris is a very good oar, any change at so late a date tends to make the crew...
