...orders of the crews which will row today are as follows...
...development of the various crews has so far been unusually slow, although some improvement has been noticeable during the past two weeks. The Newell Seniors are now rowing well together and have developed a fairly long stroke. they are, however, still weak on the recover. The Weld Seniors have been doing rather poorly of late. Their form is good and they row well together, but the crew lacks life. The Newell Juniors have a tendency to clip and they do not row well together. They are especially slow at the catch and weak on the finish. The Weld Juniors...
...from the launch "Veritas" yesterday afternoon, while E. C. Boardman '99 followed the Weld Juniors in the "John Harvard." The Freshmen were coached as usual by Vail and Wray.

All the other crews from both clubs rowed on the river with practically the same orders as during the past week. As yet the development of the various crews has been very slow and on this account it is impossible to estimate their ability. The Freshmen, in particular, have made very little progress, owing to the fact that they have not yet become accustomed to the water...
