...most important event in the crew practice here today was another change in the University four-oar, Burchard being substituted for Amberg at 3 in the afternoon work. In the morning the four-oar rowed a trial upstream over the two-mile course, but the time was deplorably slow. The crew seemed to pull well together, but they were unable to travel with satisfactory speed. The Freshman four raced them over the last mile, and won by six lengths. After the change in the afternoon, the crew went only a short distance, but the boat went better and defeated...
...boat length. Farley then raised his stroke and the crews raced for a quarter of a mile. The University eight spaced well and finished a half a length in the lead. The University four-oar rowed over two miles of the course against the tide, this afternoon, in slow time, and the Freshman four-oar, coxswained by Assistant Coach Gill, covered three miles in easy stretches. It was announced today that substitute Morgan will be unable to row for at least a week, owing to an injury to the base of his spine which he received playing baseball several days...

In addition to the time trial for the University eight, the four-oar also were sent over their course. They rowed upstream for two miles from the Navy Yard in the slow time of 12 minutes and 34 seconds. The 1910 four-oar raced the University four over the last mile, defeating them by two boat lengths. In the morning the work for all the crews was fairly hard, both eights covering about five miles. Neither boat went so well...

In the afternoon all the crews rowed downstream for four miles. With opposing wind, a favorable tide, and a slow stroke the university crew covered the distance in 23 minutes and 50 seconds. G. Auchincloss returned to the university shell in the afternoon...
...sacrifice, and another single. Harvard had an excellent chance to tie the score in the last of the ninth. With one out, Waters got his base on balls. Then Leonard, batting for Pritchett, met the ball for a clean two-bagger. Waters should have scored, but was slow and only reached third. Easy grounders by Brennan and McCall ended the game...
