...Freshman and Middlesex School four-oared crews rowed two races over a three-quarter mile course on the Charles River above the Stillman Infirmary yesterday afternoon. In the first race the Middlesex crew won from the Freshmen by one and a half lengths. The Middle sex crew got a lead at the start and held this advantage throughout; they rowed in almost perfect form and used fully as much power as the Freshmen though a considerably lighter crew. In the second race the Freshman second won by a length from the Middlesex second four, who were one half length ahead...

Crew A, which was captained by Severance at No. 3, won by about eight lengths in fast time. It seems to be a well-developed and smooth four-oar for so early in the season. After the race Crew B was re-organized, P. Withington, Hooper, and Tabor replacing Richards, Smith, and Ellis at No. 3, No. 2 and bow respectively. The two crews will probably race again either today or tomorrow. This year it has been planned...
Early last week the second Freshman crew and the remainder of the squad were divided up into three four-oars, several different combinations being tried. The two fours stroked by Howell and Trumbull seem to be the fastest, and at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon they will race the first and second fours respectively of Middlesex School, Concord, over the half-mile course in the long stretch above the boathouse...
