...about 40. The work is considered to be decidedly satisfactory. The men have shown that they have speed, for any crew that can cover the Thames course under 22 minutes is a good combination. The men pulled hard and in unison, got a strong leg drive, and forced the shell to run well between strokes. The afternoon work of the crew showed improvement over that of the morning. Accompanied by Coach Wray in his single scull, the eight went downstream to the Navy Yard and back in easy stretches...
...eights was rather light. In the morning the crews went about three miles, accompanied by Coach Wray in a single scull. In the afternoon, the work showed a decided improvement. The men took hold of the water with a vigor which has not before been seen, and sent their shell along at a good rate, even at the low stroke of 28 and 30. The Freshman crew also went well.

The men seem gradually to be getting together better, but Faulkner was erratic in slide control, and Fish particularly slow in starting his hands away after the recovery...
Yesterday afternoon the Freshman squad held its last practice on the Charles before it leaves for New London tomorrow morning. The eight rowed in very short stretches about half-way up to the Brighton bridge. The shell went smoothly, and the work was encouraging...
