...they have had this season. After rowing from the University boat-house down stream as far as the Union Boat Club with only one stop of a minute at the Longwood bridge, the crew returned, rowing in long stretches all the way up stream. The men stood the hard work very well and were in excellent condition, when they reached the boathouse. They rowed fairly well, but at times the boat rolled somewhat.

On Wednesday 18 men reported at the training table in the Union and a considerable number of others also returned for work. In all 24 men have been taken to the training table, and no more will be added probably until after the class games...
