...every day, except Monday, when there was a snow-storm, it has generally been only for short distances. Wednesday, however, the crew went down the basin, as far as Harvard bridge. If the weather is decidedly warmer today the University eight will be sent on a four-mile row, otherwise there will be no practice...
Tuesday a change was made in the boat. Newhall was moved to 7 from 2, and Fish, who rowed 7 last year in the Freshman crew, was tried at 2.

This is the first crew to row over the course this spring. On their way down-stream they were coached by Wray, who accompanied them in the launch as far as the Longwood bridge...
