Westmorly was rather a disappointment; the men rowed a long and slow, but rather dead, stroke, and were never in the race at all. Starting about a length and a half behind Randolph, they finished at least double that distance behind. Dunster-Russell got off well at the start, but were never able to gain on Westmorly, and it was soon apparent that they would be overtaken by Mt. Auburn Street. The bump took place at the beginning of the last long stretch. Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton was another disappointment, and was being left far behind by Mt. Auburn Street, when...
...Matthews. Perkins was never in the race, from start to finish, and came in about ten lengths of open water in the rear, while College House was about twice its distances behind Perkins. The only bump in this division was made by Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton, who rowing a faster stroke, overtook Grays before the first bend was reached...
...progress of the University crew squad during the past week has been fairly satisfactory. Coach Wray has paid almost exclusive attention lately to the marked tendency of the crew to dip too deep on the catch, and to wash out at the finish of the stroke. Several changes in the make-up of the crew have been made. Sargent has taken E. Bacon's place at stroke, Bacon has gone to 6, Lunt to 4, Morgan to 3, and Faulkner to bow. It is too early as yet to tell what the ultimate result of the changes will...
...Brown Stoughton is probably the most powerful crew on the river, and averages between 160 and 165 pounds. However, their rowing is rough and unfinished, and in a long race, would tell against them. Mount Auburn Street, on the other hand, rows in better form, and pulls a livelier stroke, but fails in point of power. The Claverly eight contains several experienced men and, though as a crew they are rather inclined to be slow and ponderous, the men row in fairly good form and with some power...
...Saturday, by defeating R. Peters, Jr., of Princeton, 2 up and 1 to play in 36 holes. The play on Saturday was the best in the tournament, Knowles covering the course in 74 in the morning, and in 77 in the afternoon, while Peters' score was only one stroke more in each round...
