...crew leaves for its quarters on the Thames today with a better record than any Harvard crew in recent years. A close win from the Navy, over a strange course, and an overwhelming victory from Cornell are indications of excellence in the early period of training that are encouraging. The men have rowed in the same order since the middle of March and they are showing the effects of it in the splendid way they row together...
Yesterday afternoon the University crew rowed on the Charles for the last time this year. Today, there will be no rowing and on Monday the men will leave for New London with the four-oar and two substitutes. The new boat which Davy, the Cambridge boat builder has built for them, was tried but after a short row upstream the crew returned to the float and took out the English shell which they have been using all spring.

Superiority in power, combined with a higher rate of stroke, enabled them to draw steadily away and win by about two lengths of open water. As a result of the race six men will be chosen to constitute the Freshman four-oar and substitutes...
