...race, winning in 4 minutes, 36 1-5 seconds. Barstow of Dartmouth was second and E. L. Viets '10 third. The two-mile was won by M. S. Crosby '08 in the slow time of 10 minutes, 11 1-5 seconds, after much changing of leaders and a fast spurt the last half lap. Walker of Dartmouth came in second three yards behind Crosby, and R. E. Dole '10 was third...
...Harvard and four Yale men were closely bunched. As the men came on to the track for the last quarter, Vilas led by 40 yards; Spitzer followed 20 yards behind; and Raynolds, with Crosby close behind him, was next with an interval of 20 yards.

Farley kept his stroke long throughout and showed good endurance in raising the stroke in the last half-mile. The Freshmen also rowed well. They rowed a higher stroke than the University crew most of the way, thus maintaining their lead. In addition to the time...
...other shell to avoid, a raft that Jose at 2 in the Harvard boat struck his oar against that of Hicks, Springfield's number 7, and caught a slight crab. From this point the superiority of the Springfield crew was apparent, and they finished well together, with a strong spurt...
