...were given only one or two racing starts and sent in to the boathouse. The four-oars, however, were matched in two brushes, both of which were won by the University crew. When tried out against the eight in a start, the University four got away a little the faster, rowing splendidly at a high stroke...

The result is that the men are hurried at the catch and are unable to apply their power quickly and evenly.

Later on, time trials will be held and the new style shell will be compared with the old, in order to find out which is the faster.
