...Freshman crew took a short spin on the river yesterday afternoon for the first time this spring. The first three University crews rowed in the same order as yesterday. The work for crew A consisted of a longer pull on the river than in previous practices. Several times the customary low stroke was quickened, and the boat went smoothly. Attention was given to perfecting the dash in the pull through and the slow steal out on the recovery...
...aggressive shinny, and finally Saturday, the standard of play was better, but not good enough to defeat the star Princeton seven. The loss of Phillips no doubt had much to do with this defeat, and the injury to Willetts may prove a great handicap; but if the team can pull itself together and recover from its various bruises, injuries and reverses, it seems as though we were on the up road again, with an equal chance in the final game of the series next Saturday...
...that was lacking before and both coach Wray and Captain Reynolds are satisfied that they will do good work in the race in the Basin on next Tuesday. During the first part of the week the crews took long, easy paddles, Coach Wray paying particular attention to the quick pull through and slow recovery which makes the boat run between strokes. Yesterday and the day before the crews tried racing starts and fast stretches at 32 to 36 strokes a minute in preparation for the race...
Coach Wray has been teaching the Freshmen to pull together their various strokes, and has not yet attempted to give the boat speed. The crew is, however, quickly coming into form.

...work on the mound. The rapid development shown by the less experienced men--Ayres, Tomes, and Gannet,--is decidedly encouraging. If the same calibre of batting is displayed as in the game with Bates, and if the kind of team-work is manifested as was shown in the uphill pull against West Point, then the clean cut success over Vermont, with Malcolm, one of the best intercollegiate twirlers in the East, in the box, ought to be repeated several times in the coming month...
