...first race, between the second and third crews of each club was rowed down stream from the Longwood Bridge at 6 o'clock. The positions, from the Beacon street wall, were as follows: Third Newell, Second Weld, Third Weld, Second Newell. At the start the Second Weld got the lead and kept it to the end. The Second Newell coxswain steered far over to the Cambridge shore, thereby losing much distance, and the coxswains of the two third crews also steered erratically. The second Weld won easily by a length and a half, followed by the Third Weld...
...first crews in each club got away at 6.30. The Newell crew led at the start, rowing more steadily, although the Weld was rowing a higher stroke. As the crews went under the bridge the Newell was slightly ahead, but on the other side, the Weld pulled up and slowly forged ahead. About a quarter of a mile from the finish the Weld spurted and led by a length, while the Newell seemed unable to make further effort. Near the line Boardman made a final effort but the crew failed to respond. The Weld finished a length and a half...
...CRIMSON will defeat the Lampoons in baseball on Holmes Field this afternoon between 3 o'clock and dark. Though an attempt will be made to start the game at 3 o'clock, it will probably be necessary to allow the Lampoon$ time to elect a few new infield "editors" before beginning.

They attempted to practice on Soldiers Field, but the police made them climb back over the fence...

...University crews raced yesterday for the first time this year, over the three and three-eighths miles course down stream from the Boylston street bridge to the Union Boat Club. Ayer's crew gave Bullard's crew fifteen seconds start, or about five lengths, which they reduced to three lengths in the first quarter mile. Careless steering through the second bridge lost the distance again. Both crews made a very low stroke, seldom going above 29 and frequently dropping so low as 27, which is attributed to fear on the part of the new men that they could not last...
