...practice was very light. The morning practice, which Coach Wray directed from his single, consisted of a few short-brushes between the Freshmen and the second crew, in which the latter showed a slight superiority. The boat of the Freshman four filled with water and sank just as the float was reached. In the afternoon the crews paddled down to the Navy Yard, which is the half-way mark in the course. This time the Freshmen had several sharp tussles with the University but were beaten even with the University rowing a slower stroke. In spite of the weather...

Meyer into two in the second boat, displacing Cutler...
...COURSE. From a starting line between the Regatta Committee boat anchored an eighth of 2 mile north of Sarah's Ledge bell buoy, at the entrance to New London harbor, and the Sarah's Ledge bell buoy, to a finish between the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club float, and blackspar buoy number 1, three quarters of a mile to the easy...
