...Weld crew got the better start and maintained a slight lead during the first half-mile, but then began to fall behind, owing to exceedingly poor steering. At Harvard Bridge Worcester had obtained a lead of about two lengths, which it held until near the finish, when the Weld crew gained rapidly, but could not overtake its opponents. Considering the roughness of the water, both crews rowed well, the Weld boat being somewhat steadier...
Judging from the season's record of the two teams the visitors appear to have a slight advantage over the Harvard Freshmen. The Freshmen have played nine games, losing three of them, to Andover 9 to 1, Morris Heights 1 to 0, and Hotchkiss 10 to 3.

The officials were doubtful whether the first mark should stand as equalling the record, for a slight wind was blowing behind the runners. The time of the final heat was unquestionable.

Craig of Michigan secured a poor start in the first semi-final heat of the 100-yard dash, but in a burst of speed, 25 yards from the finish, passed the rest of the field and won by a slight margin.

The second semi-final went to Minds of Pennsylvania with Thomas of Princeton and Reilly of Yale tied for second. Ross of Michigan was barely shut out from qualifying. In the final heat Craig secured another poor start, being the last...
Both crews went out again in the afternoon at 5.30 o'clock and rowed two miles at a fast stroke. The University eight was well together and the Freshmen showed a slight improvement over their former work. The return was made in short stretches. Dr. Ladd arrived today. Everybody is in good shape...
