...time was 13 minutes and 21 seconds, which is considered very fair as the crew rowed against a strong tide. No racing starts were tried, the men averaging about 30 strokes to the minute all the way. The Freshman four practiced racing starts and then rowed over the last half-mile of the course. The crew started at 38 and finished at 40, rowing about 32 for most of the way.

The time by half-miles was as follows: half-mile, 2.40; mile, 5.25; mile and one-half, 8.18; two miles, 10.55; two miles...
...work of the crews this morning was very light as a strong northwest wind was blowing. The two eights and fours went across to the west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course.

Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream...
