...class race yesterday afternoon was pulled in very rough water, but in spite of this all the crews rowed in good form. Ninety-nine won a comparatively easy victory, being ahead from the start, but the other crews all rowed creditably, considering the extremely difficult conditions for the first mile. The time was 10m. 55s., nearly a minute and a half slower than last year; but the rough water and a strong head wind would more than account for this...
...race between the Weld class crews had to be postponed yesterday. The crews took their places at the line and were preparing to start in spite of the unfavorable conditions, when 98's rudder was broken in the hands of the starter, while he was trying to hold the boat into the wind...
...four oared barges succeeded in rowing their race in spite of the rough water. Three crews started, made up as follows: First crew-Sroke R. O. Hodges '99; 3, E. G. Adams Sp.; 2, H. F. Whitney '99; bow, F. C. Wilson '99; coxswain, L. F. Buff 1900. Second crew-Stroke, R. McC. Marsh '99; 3, C. S. Butler '99; H. James '99; bow, J. Ware '99; coxswain, L. Luquer '99.

...spite of their inability to hit Paine, the Brown men played a sharp, aggressive game. Their fielding was remarkably clean and sure, and at the bat they made the most of every chance to score. It is a suggestive fact that Brown made four runs on four hits, and Harvard no runs on five hits. The best work for Brown was done by Lauder, who fielded very sharply. Brady pitched an extremely effective game and kept the hits well scattered...
...crews. A fault which they have not yet overcome is jerking in their arms at the finish. Besides these more prominent faults the crew as a whole do not catch the water quickly enough, and are a bit rough rough sometimes in their handling of the oars. Nevertheless, in spite of these faults, '98 should make a good race for first place. They keep their boat traveling very steadily on her keel, so that the men, individually powerful, can use their strength to the greatest advantage. Rust, last year's 'varsity coxswain, will steer the boat in the race...
