...Seniors were defeated by the University second on Thursday. Friday they again rowed the course and beat by more than a length the Stone School first, which took them up for the first mile, and by as much again the Stone second, which picked them up for the last half mile. There is a lot of power in the boat which would be more effectively applied if the bow six men supported Switzer at stroke and Burchard at 7 by driving more strongly with the legs, and keeping hold of the water longer at the end of each stroke...
...first half Harvard completely outclassed her opponents. The University attack kept the ball in Hobart's territory most of the time, Barber scoring the first goal after little more than a minute's play. Ackerman scored twice on long passes, the fourth goal was made in a scrimmage, and then Barber shot three more goals for the University. After Hobart had scored once, Penhallow made the eighth goal for Harvard...

Sessa had scored twice for Harvard, and Riegel once for Hobart, when time was called...

The crew started out well, but rowed poorly after the first half mile. The boat rocked considerably. Morgan at 8 washed out with his blade at the end of his stroke. At 5 Lowell finished his stroke too soon and did not keep the full strength of his shoulders on the oar long enough. And Ball at 3 often lost the beat of the stroke, as he showed a tendency to shorten...
Yesterday on the way up stream from the Harvard bridge, the University crew raced with the Union Boat Club crew for a little less than 1-8 of a mile. The Union Boat Club crew started nearly half a boat's length ahead, rowing about 32 strokes a minute, but the University crew was almost abreast when they approached the Western avenue bridge. Filley did not put the stroke above...
