...first of the annual inter-dormitory bumping races was rowed upstream yesterday afternoon, over the one and three-eighths mile course, finishing at the end of the long stretch beyond the second bend. On account of the roughness of the water and the strength of the head-wind against which the crews had to contend, the rowing was not as good as might have been hoped. Owing to the fact that the men in the foremost boats were unable to hear the pistol fired from the launch, the starts in both divisions were unfair. In the case of the second...
This afternoon's racing should prove interesting, as upon it will depend largely the selection of the four crews to row in the straightaway race in the basin tomorrow. This race will take place at 4 o'clock, and will be rowed upstream over the one and seven-eighths mile course, starting at the Union boat-house and finishing at the Longwood bridge. The crews are being carefully watched by Coach Wray and Captain Richardson, in whose hands the selection will rest. At present, Randolph, Claverly, Westmorly, and either Matthews or Mt. Auburn street seem the most likely selections
...bumping races will be rowed upstream from the Boylston street bridge in two divisions, starting at 3.45 and 4.15 o'clock. The crews will be assigned positions in regard to their respective positions at the close of the races last year and on their merits this year. Claverly, Randolph, Westmorly, and Dunster-Dana-Drayton-Russell, the first four boats, will start in the order in which they finished last year. Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton and Mt. Auburn street have been assigned places in the first division for their work this year...
Yesterday afternoon, as the University crew, on its way upstream after practice, was going under the Cottage Farms bridge, it passed a canoe with two students in it. The men were absorbed in watching the crew, and by some mishap overturned their canoe just as the launch, which was following the shell, passed by them...
...eight this morning. The crew started out after the rest of the Harvard crews had left the river, and went downstream as far as the Navy Yard in the launch. On account of the rough water the crew climbed into their shell just below the Navy Yard and rowed upstream over the last two miles of the University course. Bacon kept his stroke about 30 to 32 until the last half-mile, when he raised the pace to 34. The crew as a whole did not row as well as it has for the past few days...
