...Junior class crew defeated the Sophomore eight in the one and only race of the interclass season on the Charles yesterday afternoon. The water was smoother than had been expected from the high wind earlier in the day, and the crews were able to use the one-mile course down-stream between the Cottage Farm and the Harvard Bridges...
...boats started rowing a 28 stroke, but this was quickly dropped to 24. From the beginning the Juniors pulled into the lead, and at the quarter-mile mark were ahead by a fourth of a length.

This had a noticeable effect at first, but later the line straightened out and the attack worked much smoother. The defence was strong and played a hard body-checking game which defeated all but one attempt at scoring...
