...time row this afternoon, the University crew showed much better form than they have so far on the Thames, the prevalent hitch between strokes being hardly noticeable. For the first two miles of the time row the Freshman eight rowed with the University crew and kept about even with them except for a spurt at the finish, which put them slightly in the lead. While with the freshmen, the University crew, rowing about 30 strokes to the minute, showed a tendency to shorten the stroke, and many individual faults were emphasized. For the other two miles the men were...
...Lampoon from being far worse than usual. Among the drawings, the most clever is without doubt that on the over, and the centre page is also la good piece of work. a few of the shorter jokes are quite amusing; but the longer efforts and the poetry seem dull, even if one tries to read them as a relaxation from the now prevalent printed notes...

...Derby, who has been rowing at 4, and Ober, who has been at 3, changed placed. As a result of this shake-up the work was rather unsatisfactory. The first crew rowed in unchanged order. The men were better together, but seemed unable to keep their boat on an even keep. Coach Higginson, during the first part of the practice, gave special attention to individual members of the crew laying particular stress on the blade work. On the way back to the boathouse from Harvard Bridge both crews practiced the Cornell stroke, which consists in pulling the oar rapidly through...
