...Freshmen and combination eights had easy work except for a short spurt in the morning. They were drilled in individual work with men rowing in pairs. In the last half-mile of the morning practice, these two eights were raced, the yearlings holding a lower stroke and winning by a large margin. In the afternoon the 1924 and combination boats took a five-mile row at about 26. Special coaching was given to the leg drive and pull through...

...times were made in two of the races, the 440-yard dash, and the half-mile run. In the former, Kinnaly of Dorchester made a flying start, and was never headed.

At the one-mile mark, the while Princeton flag went down a fraction of a second ahead of the blue and several moments before the Crimson. Now came Navy's long awaited spurt and her supporters gave evidence of the fact that they had confidence in its outcome. Up, up went the stroke to 36, while the Navy oarsmen kept up their long stroke and almost touched the shell with their backs as tirey lengthened out. But Leh would not let the Annapolis...
