Many changes have been made in the university crew in the past week. On no two days have the men rowed in exactly the same order. On Monday, Tilton was late and Finlay got in at 6, Keyes at 4, Watriss at 2, and Herrick at bow. After rowing up to the abbatoir, Finlay got out and Tilton got in from a pair-oar.

Wednesday, Hutchinson got in at bow, the other men remaining as before. The crew did not row far and did very poorly. Thursday, Finlay went in at 4 and Powers at bow.

Tuesday they went down to the river: Hartridge being absent, Watriss got in at 2 and Finlay at 4. The day was excessively windy and the water rough, but they rowed down almost to the Harvard bridge. The rowing was far from satisfactory; the time was poor, the oars clumsily handled and the starboard side rowing much more weakly than the port side...
...high in the air on the recover and often feathers under water on account of an uncertain finish; 3, slow with his hands; bow slow at the finish and weak at the catch.
