...rowed bow and 4 on the University crew yesterday; and in consequence the crew took only a short paddle up stream and back. The first hard work since the Annapolis race was given Saturday, when the first and second crews rowed over the three and three-eighths mile course, starting opposite the Weld boat house and finishing opposite Berkeley street. The second crew was given a start of about four lengths, but was unable to hold its lead, and was passed by the first boat near the Longwood Bridge. At times the work of the University crew was fairly good...
...undergraduate petition to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences will be delivered at the meeting this afternoon. At an early hour last evening 1500 names had been signed to the petition, which had taken a second start and was growing rapidly. Before it is handed in it promises to bear the names of considerably more than three-fourths of the entire undergraduate body...
...past week Coach Wray has laid greater emphasis on form than on speed. Whenever the water has allowed, the crew has pulled over the long course from the boathouse to be basin and back, rowing mostly in short stretches, with a low stroke. Occasionally there has been practicing in starting, and a high stroke maintained for a short distance. Yesterday, on the return stretch from Brighton Bridge, the stroke was raised as high as 45 to the minute, and the crew, although unusually heavy and powerful, carried the high stroke without much effort. No change has been made...
...From start to finish the positions on the CRIMSON are open to competition. The average board is composed of ten editors, who are chosen from a large number of candidates during four competitions--two Freshman year, and two Sophomore year. One, two, three, or even four editors may be taken from each competition, according as they have proved their worth to the satisfaction of the managing editor. At first the work is very general and consists of picking up about the College any items of peculiar interest. Any candidate who shows that he is in earnest easily survives this stage...
...race was started up stream on account of the wind; and through a misunderstanding the gun was fired before the University crew was set for the start. The Navy crew accordingly got away first, and rowing nearly 40 to the minute, soon had a lead of over half a length, when the stroke was slowed down to 37. Harvard, rowing between 33 and 34 to the minute, spurted time after time to regain the lost distance; but by raising the stroke whenever the lead was threatened, Annapolis maintained her advantage until close to the finish. At the mile post...
