Yesterday afternoon Severance did not go out with the University crew and Faulkner rowed at 3 in his place. Severance, however, will be back in the boat within a day or two. The University and second crews rowed downstream into the basin, but, owing to the rain, the men were only able to practice starts and row in short stretches...
...condition of the University and second crews and the Freshman eights during the past week has been one of great disorder. There have hardly been two consecutive days in which the crews have rowed in the same orders; but probably the last important shift before the race between the University crew and Columbia, which will be rowed a week from today, has been made, and already the University crew shows signs of decided improvement. Tappan and Richardson are now the only two men in the crew rowing in the same positions which they occupied a week ago. Severance has been...

There is also difficulty in getting three how men who will row together well. Burchard, Lunt...

Cerussi, the regular stroke, rowed 4, because he was slightly out of condition, and his place at 8 was filled by J. McKenzie. By May 11, the date of the race on the Charles, Columbia will probably have a strong combination in the best condition to row a short race...
