...splendidly contested race, the University crew defeated Annapolis on the Severn last Wednesday, leading at the finish by half a length. The winning time was 10m. 31s., and the time of the Navy crew...
...race was started up stream on account of the wind; and through a misunderstanding the gun was fired before the University crew was set for the start. The Navy crew accordingly got away first, and rowing nearly 40 to the minute, soon had a lead of over half a length, when the stroke was slowed down to 37.

At the mile post...
...Seniors have been seriously handicapped all spring by the failure of the men to report regularly. The week before recess was the first week that the regular crew got together.

It will require a great deal of work in the short time which remains to get them up to the standard of the other crews...

Leighton has been out of the boat for some time on account of an injury to his hand which he sustained while on duty in one of the ship drills, but has recovered sufficiently to row in the race next Wednesday. The position of stroke, made vacant by the loss of Ingram who was perhaps the greatest factor in the success of the crew last year, has been the most difficult to fill. Kinkaid, the new stroke, is big and powerful...
