...dash, well together, and should give the University eight a very hard fight. The third crew has also suffered much from repeated changes. Its chances, however, of making a hard race, have greatly increased since Wiggins has been stroking the boat, although the crew is hardly together and the slide work at times is poor...

...Withington's place at 5. Bacon was at 4 again with Whitney and Sargent at 3 and bow respectively. Leslie, who was at 4 in the Freshman eight last year, rowed 2. The rowing of the University crew seemed fairly good for the first day out, but the slide work was erratic and the men did not time their work so as to be well together at the catch, although the blade work was pretty clean. Voorhees coxswained in place of King, who is sick...

Although the slide work was poor at times the crew went very well, and on the row home the boat moved along especially smoothly. A change was made in the Freshman eight in the afternoon, Voorhees of the four replacing Faxon as coxswain. This crew went over the two-mile course up-stream...

Middlesex jumped into the lead at the start, but the Freshmen pulled up when Talbot, No. 3 in the Middlesex boat, jumped his slide. The Freshmen then slowly forged ahead and finished a short length in the lead...
