...last year, is superior to Yale in physique, weight, and experience. Harvard, at present, seems to be by far the smoother rowing crew. The Yale shell, when going at the low stroke of 27, is not well on its keel. Many individual faults are apparent, and the body swing of the crew is poor. Wodell at 7 has a poor finish, and Campbell at 4, weighing over 190 pounds, is very awkward. The latter's rowing makes a bad break in the boat. In spite of these faults, the boat seems to travel fairly well at a low stroke...
...crew shoved the shell ahead well on its keel and without any perceptible checking between strokes, although slight individual faults were noticeable.

Coach Wray warned the men not to pull hard, as the eight has had heavy work this week and a hard time trial is due on Saturday...

Although the boat had a tendency to check at the catch on account of the men jabbing their oars into the water with their leg drive applied too suddenly, the body swing was much better and the men were well together. The two fours which will be taken to New London will be definitely picked today...

Last Monday the University eight rowed down into the Basin and back, Coach Wray paying special attention to the finish, which was poor, as the men cut short the swing and did not get their blades out clean, and were slow on the first part of the recovery. Yesterday the crew showed much improvement in this respect, but still the work was not consistent, especially in rough water. From now on racing starts will be tried daily, and the work...
