...Freshman crew took a short row up-stream yesterday afternoon, coached by R. F. Blake '99 and H. Bancroft '97, and showed some improvement over the work of last week. Although some of the men still have a tendency to wash out at the finish, the leg drive is stronger and the whole crew seems to have more life. The stroke rowed, however, is very slow, and when it is quickened the work becomes ragged, and the boat rolls. The crew will probably take a harder row today in the new shell built by Davy for use in the race...
...eight took a brisk row in long stretches to Harvard bridge and back, coached by Mr. Higginson and J. J. Storrow '85. The crew has been rowing in almost the present order for several weeks and is now well together. In the last few days, McGrew, at stroke, has livened the men and they have shown rapid improvement. Most of the coaching yesterday was directed to perfecting the blade work, and to running up and letting down the stroke. The boat travelled smoothly and at times spaced well...

...crews rowed in long stretches to the Union Boat Club and back without coaching. Bullard and Bancroft exchanged seats in the first boat several times. This row was merely to get the men together in their new orders, as today there will be hard work which ought to result at least in the final selection of a stroke. Dr. Hutchinson '90 will be in Cambridge this morning, and in order that he may have a chance to see the work of the crews, they will probably row in the morning. The squad will go to New London a week from...
...probably be split into two four-oared crews this week, as the squad will go to New London a week from tomorrow, and only a short time remains in which to pick the men. It is likely, however, that the second crew will be kept together for another time-row with the first, early in the week...
