...start all the crews got off well with the two second crews slightly in the lead. The second Newell had the outside position and the most tide, but this advantage was counter-balanced by rougher water. For the first quarter of a mile the four crews kept about even, all rowing 32 strokes a minute. At the half mile the second Newell was slightly in the lead and the second Weld had fallen back a little but all the crews were within a boat's length of one another. At the bridge the second Newell was a length...
...inter-club four-oar race yesterday afternoon. But three crews were entered, the 1902 and 1903 Weld and the 1903 Newell. The race was rowed at flood tide over the one mile course from the College Farms bridge to Harvard bridge. The Newell 1903 and the Weld 1902 crews got an even start and had a close race all the way down the course, the Juniors finishing about two feet ahead. The Weld 1903 was two lengths behind. The order of the crews was as follows...
...race between the two Senior boats was the closest and most exciting of fall. Both crews got a good start, rowing a thirty-four stroke. At the bridge the Newell, with a more powerful stroke, led by two-thirds of a length. Then the Weld began to spurt and gradually overcame the lead of the Newell.

...School crews got away with the Weld slightly in the lead. The Newell was even at the half mile, but at the bridge the Weld led again by half a length. By repeated spurts the Newell gradually gained, but about a hundred yards from the finish, Farley, number two in the Newell boat, broke his oar and jumped overboard. The Weld then won by half a length...
...Harvard got the ball at the jump off in the first half and by long shots passed it into Technology's territory, caging it from under the blanket. Technology's weakness at blocking off made it possible for Harvard to score repeatedly from the side and centre of the field. The ball was often worked near Harvard's goal by skilful ground passing, the half ending with the score 23 to 7 in Harvard's favor...
