...four University boats raced yesterday over the mile and seven-eighths course in the Charles River Basin. In the A and B race, Crew A led slightly during the early part but near the finish Crew B spurted and the boats approached the line side by side. Crew B was not able to keep up the terrific pace, however, and A was judged the winner by six feet. The winner's time was 10.30. In the other race C beat D by six lengths. Today Crews A, B, and C race over the same course, leaving the Newell boathouse...
...club crew race the Eliot third beat the Thayer boat by three quarters of a length. This race was rowed over the mile course from the Cottage Farm Bridge to the Harvard Bridge.

If, however, any race is so close that at the finish there is no open water between the boats, the loser in a second crew race is awarded one point and in a third or fourth crew race one-half a point. In every case this credit is subtracted from the winner and given to the loser...
