...afternoon the University crew paddled down-stream about two and three quarters miles. The work of the eight was not so good as in the morning, in that the slide work was erratic at times and the boat did not keep on a very even keel. Lunt at 2 and Cutler at bow were slightly off form. The Freshman eight covered about four miles in all. One racing start was tried which went very well, but this crew also lacked the good form which it showed in the morning.

The boat went fairly well, but the men were inclined to lose their rhythm at a high stroke. A further change was made necessary in the University four in the afternoon, as Hooper was sent back to Boston...
