...after a little warming up the men were divided into different nines. Three two-inning games were played. The play was sharp and spirited, and while the batting was very weak, the fielding was excellent. Of the pitchers, P. N. Coburn '02, made the best showing. He had speed and very fair control, striking out men in every inning which he pitched. Of the new men, F. Jacques '03, caught well behind the bat, and made a number of good stops of low balls and pick-ups. H. Keene '01, made the best play of the day by stopping...
...best match of the day was that between Leonard and G. M. McConnell '01. McConnell was out of practice, as was shown by his service, but had great speed and at times placed effectively from the back line. The match between Rathbun and Beals was long and stubbornly contested, but neither player showed consistent first class form...

Courtney considers the crew the fastest he has ever turned...
From present indications it would seem that such will be the outcome. The Senior crew is improving in form and speed to an extent that is extremely encouraging. Under fair conditions they recently rowed a mile and a half time trial in 7m. 48s. The appearance of the men is splendid. They are an exceptionally well boated crew, and row a powerful long stroke, that has as its best features a strong drag and hard finish. Donovan who has entire charge of the coaching is fully satisfied with the men and has no doubt as to the crew's ability...
