Although new to the starboard side of the boat, Captain Cutler is developing rapidly at 7, though his finish is as yet slightly awkward. Cutler is naturally a very adaptable oarsman and should be able to prove as valuable rowing some starboard oar as he has on the port side of the boat. Newton, Strong, and Metcalf, the other three veterans, have so far found no trouble in regaining last year's form, and the new men in the boat have done well...

The new shell is 61 feet long and is of the American type, all the seats being placed directly over the keel instead of being alternately to port and starboard as in all English boats...

At the time the University eight was only about two lengths of open water behind the second boat and fully three lengths were lost. With six lengths to make up in about two miles, the University crew settled...
