...trial eights of the University crew squad were sent upstream yesterday to the Brighton bridge in short stretches and back to the boathouse at a fast pace. Owing to the numerous changes in the orders the work was ragged and the boats did not maintain an even keel. Morgan's crew, rowing a 27 stroke, spaced poorly, and the men failed to get all the power out of the stroke, the starboard side particularly being uneven. Ball's crew caught the water well together, but were inclined to rush their slides. Amberg's work at 7 was very creditable...
...practice of the University football squad yesterday, which was entirely secret, was unusually fast and snappy, due partly to the cold weather.

The University eleven will have a decided advantage in punting...
...mile run was not so interesting as the two-mile, although the time, 4 minutes and 35 seconds, was fast. C. R. Nasmith 1L., with a handicap of 10 yards, won the event, H. F. Hadden '09, with 30 yards, finishing a good second...
