...work of the Senior crews have so far been rather lifeless. The Weld crew is, perhaps, a trifle the faster and rows better together. The Weld Juniors have the common fault of not finishing the stroke well and are also slow at the catch. The Newell Juniors have a tendency to rush their slides and also hang at the catch. Irregularity in attendance has been harmful to the Weld Sophomores. They nevertheless row well together, but fail to get a powerful and finished stroke. The Newell Sophomores are making a fair showing, but have most of the faults noticeable...

...light by the Brown game of a week ago Saturday are still much in evidence. The chief fault to be criticised is the one that has existed throughout the season, slowness both in the line and back of it. The forwards are strong and heavy but play in a lifeless way and the strenuous efforts of the coaches during the week to correct this fault have met with only partial success. The backs start slowly, depending almost entirely on the ability of the line-men to open up big holes for them. In interference the team shows good possibilities...
