...Freshman fours also raced yesterday, going over a course of about a mile upstream from the Harvard bridge to the Cottage Farm bridge. The crew stroked by Richardson, got the advantage of the start, and maintained its supremacy from start to finish. Superiority in power, combined with a higher rate of stroke, enabled them to draw steadily away and win by about two lengths of open water. As a result of the race six men will be chosen to constitute the Freshman four-oar and substitutes...

Harvard, though placed a little back of the starting line, took the lead in the first few strokes, rowing at the rate of 38 to the minute as against Cornell's 36. Shortly after the quarter-mile flag was reached, Harvard led by a clear length, with both crews rowing 34 strokes to the minute. At the bridge the University crew had increased its lead to two lengths of open water, and Cornell had dropped its stroke to 30. At this point the visiting crew made a desperate effort to make good its loss, but in vain, as the University...
...Cornell crew lacked the dash and rhythm so necessary in a race over a short course; they appeared unable to maintain a high rate of stroke and hardly exceeded 30 to the minute after the first of the race. The University crew, on the other hand, maintained a rate of 34 to the minute practically throughout the entire two miles, and finished at nearly 37. This had an important bearing on the result, as did also the fact that the crew rowed much better together than Cornell, who had rowed in the same order only four times previous...
