...rowed easily at 30 strokes to the minute. From that point the stroke was dropped to 29 until the boat reached the three-mile mark. The time over these first three miles was exactly 17 minutes. During this stretch the shell did not seem well on her keel at the catch and the slide-work was unsteady. At times Withington at 4 and Hooper at 5 did not bury their blades deep enough into the water, and Waid at 7 was slow in dropping his oar in at the catch. At the three-mile point the stroke was raised...
...University crew paddled downstream a short distance beyond the half-way mark this afternoon in one stretch. The return to the boathouse was rowed without a stop.

Coach Wray warned the men not to pull hard...

The crew kept the boat well on her keel and had a good finish at a low stroke; in the racing start with the University eight the slide-work was good...
...steamship "Cambrian." From Boston it will be taken to the Newell boathouse and during the spring practice will be given a thorough test by the University crew.
