...Freshman fours also raced yesterday, going over a course of about a mile upstream from the Harvard bridge to the Cottage Farm bridge. The crew stroked by Richardson, got the advantage of the start, and maintained its supremacy from start to finish. Superiority in power, combined with a higher rate of stroke, enabled them to draw steadily away and win by about two lengths of open water. As a result of the race six men will be chosen to constitute the Freshman four-oar and substitutes...
...Bissell 2L. won the Carroll Cup race on Saturday in 7 minutes, 48 and 3-5 seconds.

Rackemann '09, who finished fourth, spoiled his chances by running into the buttress of the bridge near the start. He rowed a splendid uphill race, however, and pushed...
With only eight days of actual practice on the Charles left before the Annapolis race, the University eight was put through a short but hard drill yesterday afternoon. The river was very rough, and the wind dead ahead upstream, but Coach Wray demanded a high stroke. On the first sprint the stroke was rapidly put up to 33 to the minute, and in the stretch extending from below the Stillman Infirmary to the boathouse it was raised to 36. The crew showed even better form with a high stroke than with a low, although it tended naturally to clip...

All four crews will row in a single heat which will be started at 3.30 o'clock. The race will be rowed upstream over the one and seven-eights mile course in the basin, starting at the Union boathouse and finishing at the Longwood bridge. The members of the winning crew will, as in former years, be awarded their club insignia. In addition, the races will be closely watched by Coach Wray and Captain Richardson...
