With the tide against them and the water unfavorably rought, the oarsmen settled down after the opening burst of speed to a beat of 30 which was maintained up to the three mile mark. From this point on, Captain John Watts '28 lifted the stroke to 35, quickening it gradually to 38, and as the shell neared the finish to a fast sprinting...
Delegate Otis F. Glenn of Illinois, the stocky, drawling lawyer who prosecuted the murderers at Bloody Herrin, was watched for as the man slated to place Candidate Lowden in nomination.

The Harvard crews paddled easily to the three mile mark, and there rested on their oars while music came across the water from one of the navy ships near the shore.
