...Tuesday, but has not been doing especially well of late. Still the improvement is hoped for, and the hard work they are doing is the only way to achieve it. Attention is being paid more particularly to the general work of the crew without any attempt to develope speed as yet. The make up of the crew has not been materially changed. It is still exceedingly doubtful whether Cook will be able to row. No changes will however be made. Eddy will continue to row at No. 6, and if Cook is obliged to leave off rowing, Lambert...
...varsity crew has continued to row from fourteen to eighteen miles a day, and as a result of this hard work, it has made considerable improvement. The coaching is still directed almost entirely to developing the oarsmanship and watermanship, no effect as yet having been made to develop speed. The watermanship of the crew however is by no means weak at the present time...

As a result, the crew has made rapid improvement, especially during the latter part of last week. As yet however, they have made no effort to develop speed. They have been trying rather to lay a substantial ground work upon which to build the stroke, hoping by so doing to be in better condition, when they begin to work for speed. Especial attention has been paid to the correction of individual faults of the men and the improvement...
