...accordance with plans made before the Columbia race, quite a shake-up occurred yesterday afternoon in the University crew. Farley went into the boat at stroke, replacing Tappan, who with Fish, will be given a rest for a few days. Richardson was moved from 6 to 7, occupying the place of Amberg, who was put into the second boat at 7, where Morgan had previously been rowing. This shift of Amberg is in no wise due to his work in the race on Saturday, which was entirely satisfactory. The change was made in accordance with the advice...
After a short rest the University eight continued downstream accompanied by the second for about three-quarters of a mile. On this stretch Tappan maintained a stroke of 28, while Farley kept the second going at least two points higher all the way. In the beginning the second gained half a boat length, but the first had practically overcome this lead, when Coach Wray called to the men to stop...
...moments, and then had a race for about half a mile upstream as far as the Longwood bridge. On a racing start from the pistol, the University caught first water and gradually pulled ahead. Tappan rowed almost 40 strokes to the minute at the start and the rest of the men were well with him. He went about 30 or 32 most of the time, and in the spurt at the end got up to about 34. He kept his stroke long all the time and appeared to have the right kind of life and fire in his work...
...Faulkner '09 has been definitely chosen to row number 3 in the race against Columbia on Saturday. W.R. Severance '09, who rowed there until last Saturday, has fallen off somewhat in weight recently, and will be given a rest until Monday...
...decided who should row at 2. Fish was tried for one day at bow, but his work there was very unsatisfactory, as shifting him from the side of the boat to which he had been accustomed, made his blade-work ragged and his swing out of time with the rest of the men. Burchard is now rowing at bow, but his work is less satisfactory than that of the other men, as he does not start forward soon enough on the recovery, and does not keep his oar buried...
