This year a lack of good material for the port side of the boat and Coach Wray's unfamiliarity with the men has retarded the development of the crew. With the result of the races at New London as a definite basis for the work, and the advantage of greater familiarity with the stroke introduced this year, as a result of longer training, the outlook for next year is very favorable...
Throughout the season Coach Wray has been hampered by lack of material, especially in good men for the port side of the boat. Filley at stroke can be relied upon.

The progress of the crew has been retarded by recent shifts and the loss of several good men. The stroke is still short...

By secret negotiations and by taking advantage of the Boxer rebellion, however, Russia converted Manchuria into a fortified Russian province which threatened the freedom of Korea and China and the existence of Japan...
