...regulation work-out, but an exciting race was staged between the Freshmen and the second eight. The 1919 shell secured a bad start, but by raising the stroke they soon caught up and held their own until near the finish, when the second crew with a fine spurt shot ahead and won by a length. The race was over the two-mile course upstream...
...afternoon Brown stroked the first crew over the four-mile course in the excellent time of 20 minutes, 55 seconds. Brown looked good, but of course would have his hands full to displace a man of Lund's experience. The stroke was kept at about 24 until the last spurt, when it was put up to nearly 40.

The coaches took the Freshmen in hand this afternoon, and they showed a decided improvement as a result...

The rest of practice consisted in the regular pulls which have made up the schedule of training for some time past...

Coggehell was captain of the Freshman team first year and although it is his first variety season he has already shown that he is a dependable half and one miler. He has a long easy stride, uses good judgment, and has a beautiful spurt at the finish. His work against Yale at the B. A. A. games was of high order. Donahue, due to his being unclassified last year, is as yet practically untried in Harvard running. He was on the University second short distance team which raced Wesleyan...
