...work of the crews during the past week has been very satisfactory. All the boats have improved rapidly, and the races this afternoon promise to be very close. The general tendencies to wash out and clip the stroke at the finish are much less noticeable. All the men have been reporting regularly and the coaches have had a better opportunity to get the men swinging together. The Randolph and Westmorly crews have been doing promising work and should make a good showing...

Yesterday, the two crews rowed upstream almost to the Brighton bridge and back to the University Boat House in easy stretches. Toward the latter part of next week, there will be a race between...

The chief fault was a failure of the men in all the boats to sit up straight enough and many were inclined to settle at the finish of the stroke. Most of the crews were coached in short stretches, as the men are not yet seasoned sufficiently for continuous rowing...
