No time was given out but Coach Wray expressed great satisfaction at the work of the crew. The other crews had light work this morning...

The crew shoved the shell ahead well on its keel and without any perceptible checking between strokes, although slight individual faults were noticeable. Metcalf at 3 did not bury his blade enough in the water, Withington at 4 failed to use his shoulders to the best advantage on the swing, and Waid was ahead of Cutler on the first part of the recovery.
