...first Newell suffered a severe loss, when Brownell was taken from stroke to row on the University squad. With the change at stroke it took a decided slump, due more to loss of confidence than to any particular fault with Boardman who was put in Brownell's place...
Amherst was shut out by Clarkson's steady pitching. Clarkson allowed two hits, struck out 13 men, and was especially effective when Amherst had men on bases. In the field the team was steady, but the batting showed no improvement. The game emphasized the team's most serious fault. The men lacked aggressiveness at the bat and were content to let one or two strikes pass before offering at the ball; this attitude resulting in nine strike-outs.

The Sophomores are rowing smoothly, but they have been changed about considerably and do not have much go to their boat. Probably the least satisfying development at the Newell is among...
