...work last fall consisted of very slow paddling, and the stroke was kept low with the aim of teaching the crew to row smoothly. Considerable time was devoted to trying out strokes in all three crews on the squad. In the first crew Bacon was tried for the first month, and then Sargent was put in. At the end of the fall rowing a race was held over the four mile course in order to try out the men; and the rowing of the University crew in that race was fairly smooth. This spring six men picked from the dormitory...
...crews got out on the river on February 21, nearly a month earlier than last year. For the first month Sargent was tried at stroke, and then Morgan was tried for two weeks. On March 23 Sargent was taken back into the first boat where he has since remained. The only other change in the make-up of the crew was the shifting of Waid to 5.

Except for the loss by illness of McKee, one of the veteran members of the crew, the preliminary season at Annapolis has been as successful as possible, considering the disadvantages under which the cadets are placed in athletics. The crew commenced its out-door training early and is well advanced for this season of the year. Because of faculty restrictions the annual Yale-Annapolis race had to be omitted this spring, and for the same reason the navy will be prevented from entering the Poughkeepsie regatta in June. These conditions make the Harvard race of unusual importance to the cadets...

On the whole, the showing of the crew was disappointing. Today and tomorrow the practice will be devoted to racing starts...
