Freshman Crew.Yesterday the freshman crew went out in the shell. The order was: Stroke, Scull; 7, Goodrich; 6, Seaver; 5, Ames; 4, Rice; 3, Jennings; 2, Hurley; bow, Bull...
...coxswain's pump for the practice shell of the University crew has been put into practical use and its efficiency exceeds the most sanguine hopes of its inventor, Captain Armstrong. It throws about eight gallons of water from the shell per minute and interferes in no way with the motion of the boat. All the crews are on Lake Whitney practicing for the interclass races which take place on Wednesday...

There was no break visible in the time over the whole four miles, except for a few strokes now and then, and the shell was carried along on a fairly even keel. The watermanship was good.

Yesterday afternoon the '97 crew rowed in the usual order, and Mr. Goodnough coached. The old shell was again used while the new one was being rerigged.
