...Riverside, by a score of 162 out of a possible 250 birds to 161, a margin of one point. The 1911 team shot better individually than Yale, but Morrison and Noel of Yale, with the respective scores of 40 out of 50 and 37, more than balanced the low scores of the rest...
During the past week Coach Wray has laid greater emphasis on form than on speed. Whenever the water has allowed, the crew has pulled over the long course from the boathouse to be basin and back, rowing mostly in short stretches, with a low stroke. Occasionally there has been practicing in starting, and a high stroke maintained for a short distance.

No change has been made...

By making the rowing smooth the work at a low stroke last fall accomplished the desired end; and the crew has developed fairly well this spring. The showing of the last few days has been below par, but nearly a week remains to round off the crew. The two-mile race with a lighter crew, under conditions which will doubtless...
