...Several important changes were made in the Freshman crew today. When the eight went out in the morning E. Curtis was put in at stroke, sending Trumbull back to 2; Cromble was dropped to the four, taking Curtis's place.

At the three-eighths of a mile mark the boats were on even terms and at Harvard Bridge a length of open water had been gained by the first.
