...spent much time in rowing, both for speed and for improvement of their stroke. At morning practice the crews went over the course and Harvard is claimed, by timers along the course, to have made the four miles in less than 23 minutes. The time credited to Harvard is faster than that given to Yale...
...rowed her best time on the upper course tonight, when she struck a fast gait and rowed far up the river. Harvard's work of the past two days has greatly improved the crew's form and the speed of the boat, for it did the course today in faster time than has before been shown. All indications point to a well contested race next week...
...ball fully much wherever it pleased. On the other hand, with the exception of Scannell, Harvard could do nothing at the bat. Scannell hit two beautiful three-baggers past the willows, on the last of which he could have reached home if he had been able to run faster. The rest of the nine could only make four hits, two of which were the most horrible scratches imaginable. How weak and ineffective the Harvard batting was can be seen from the fact that but eight balls in the whole game went past the infield, and two of these were Scannell...
Boyden and Simonds won chiefly through their steadiness. Boyden's lobs were effective and during the first two sets both frequently passed their opponents when the latter were at the net. Pool and Pier, although they played the faster game, were wild and showed lack of practice. Pier put up the best game of all four of the men. His net game was good and his long, low drives from the back-court were very effective...

Gary of Dartmouth has had more experience in racing than any of the other men and is probably a faster rider than Goodman of Princeton who won last year. Osgood and Coates of Pennsylvania, Ottoman of C. C. N. Y., Hill of Yale, and Elliot of Harvard will fight it out for third place...
