...regard to the race this afternoon is impossible. Other things being equal, however, Cornell should win today. There are seven men in the boat who are veterans and for coxswain they have a wonderfully capable coach in Captain Colson. They have shown in time trials fast speed, and their form is much superior to either Harvard or Yale. Furthermore they have had Courtney for coach and in him a great precedent for winning. Courtney considers the crew the fastest he has ever turned...
...heavy crews have plenty of snap and life. They average 170 pounds apiece and in four miles heavy crews are apt to suffer more than lighter ones. They have given no exceptional exhibition of ability so far as time is concerned, but they are perfectly together and perfect in form. Between Yale and Harvard probably lies the fight for second place. Harvard will be represented today by a crew in perfect condition for a four mile race. The crew is a light one, and certainly not so smooth as either Yale or Cornell, but for all that they have shown...
...Ware '99 won the tennis championship of the State yesterday, on the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club, by defeating H. Ward 1900, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. Neither player was in especially good form.

Ware played fairly good tennis, but was inclined to play into his opponent's hands...

The men rowed back in short stretches and as a whole showed good form, although Kernan was slow in following stroke...
From present indications it would seem that such will be the outcome. The Senior crew is improving in form and speed to an extent that is extremely encouraging. Under fair conditions they recently rowed a mile and a half time trial in 7m. 48s. The appearance of the men is splendid. They are an exceptionally well boated crew, and row a powerful long stroke, that has as its best features a strong drag and hard finish. Donovan who has entire charge of the coaching is fully satisfied with the men and has no doubt as to the crew's ability...
