...first of the annual inter-dormitory bumping races was rowed upstream yesterday afternoon, over the one and three-eighths mile course, finishing at the end of the long stretch beyond the second bend. On account of the roughness of the water and the strength of the head-wind against which the crews had to contend, the rowing was not as good as might have been hoped. Owing to the fact that the men in the foremost boats were unable to hear the pistol fired from the launch, the starts in both divisions were unfair. In the case of the second...
This afternoon the first of the interdormitory bumping races will be rowed up-stream over a one and three-eighths mile course, starting from the Boylston street bridge, and finishing at the upper end of the long stretch beyond the second bend.

...third annual Freshman track meet was held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon. The weather was too cold to favor any record-breaking performances, and besides, a sharp wind was blowing down the back stretch. This did not prevent H.

On the whole, however, the performances were not as good as last year...
...work today. In the morning about five miles were covered, Coach Wray following in a single. The wind was strong and the washboards were necessary on account of the rough water. The eight went out again in the afternoon after the four-oar practice, and rowed downstream in one stretch until opposite the two-mile mark by the Navy Yard. After a rest the shell was rowed back. The men seem gradually to be getting together better, but Faulkner was erratic in slide control, and Fish particularly slow in starting his hands away after the recovery...
