...University crew started work last fall with the best of prospects. Captain Richardson was the only man lost by graduation and the fall rowing started with seven men who rowed against Yale last year. R. W. Cutler '11 at 6 was the only new man in the boat.

Withington, Jr., '11 having taken Severance's place at 5, the crew remained in this order until the sudden change of a week ago. With...
...crew rowed poorly, losing its form in this race, and was consequently thoroughly though not overwhelmingly defeated. Sargent's work in this race was not satisfactory to Coach Wray.
