...about three weeks of practice bumping races will be held on the river near the University boathouse for three days. In these races the crews will start in the order in which they finished last year. Afterwards three graded crews each from the Newell and Weld boat clubs will be formed and will practice for about ten days before they race in the Charles River basin. For these six graded crews only those men will be eligible who rowed with their dormitory eights. The winners will be awarded their club insignia...
Yesterday afternoon two eights of the University crew squad went out on the river for the second time this fall. The men rowed upstream about 1 and 1-2 miles in several easy stretches and returned to the University boathouse about 4.50 o'clock.

Examinations began at 8 o'clock this morning and will continue to be held at that hour in order that the crews may have a short row before luncheon each...
Within 15 minutes after their arrival all four crews were sent out on the Thames river. The University eight rowed down stream to the Navy Yard, a distance of two miles, maintaining a stroke of 30, which was raised to 32 toward the end. On the return the crew was accompanied by the University four-oar and the Freshman eight-oar crews...
