...University nine defeated Columbia in a slow and uninteresting game yesterday by the score of 4 to 1. Neither side was able to hit the ball effectively, and this, together with the absence of any sensational plays, made the game tedious to watch...
...were unable either to begin the recovery as rapidly or finish it as slowly, as is desired. These faults were due to the bow men, who rushed forward ahead of the others. In the afternoon, while paddling down to the start, the crew succeeded in keeping the recovery slow, and spaced about eight feet. Notwithstanding this improvement the boat was rather unsteady and the men kept poor time. During the first three miles of the time row which followed, the stroke was kept at 29 and 30.

Ober and Derby were tried for a time at bow and two, respectively, but in the time row Hartwell was put at bow and Derby at two. Dillingham has been elected captain of the four...

Several of the men showed a tendency to be late at the catch, and the whole crew rowed lifelessly. The time made was slow, and at no time was the stroke raised above 32 to the minute. On the way back to the boathouse, however, the men rowed better together and with more life and drive...
