...only one Junior. An informal race between the first and second boats over the course yesterday afternoon showed definitely that such a hands-off policy has already produced a better crew than was rowing at this time last year. Stroked by Chace, timer of last year's Freshman shell, the first eight shows a great increases of smoothness and power over that of Drury's crew at the same time last year. Chace has an air of confidence and although the boat checks badly, it does not seem likely to disintegrate at a high beat with him setting the pace...
Yesterday's race demonstrated beyond a doubt that the best men are now in the Varsity shell. Eliel at 5 and Art Beane at 2 are finished oars, both capable of lasting the four mile grind on the Thames.

Bert Haines is directing the yearling Fifties and the second and third heavyweights, but does not now go up and down the river with the number one shell. Bert has charge of all the rest of the first-year crews, but it is probable that the first boat will be under Whiteside for the rest of the season...
