When the crews had turned around, they drifted upstream with the tide for a few moments, and then had a race for about half a mile upstream as far as the Longwood bridge. On a racing start from the pistol, the University caught first water and gradually pulled ahead. Tappan rowed almost 40 strokes to the minute at the start and the rest of the men were well with him. He went about 30 or 32 most of the time, and in the spurt at the end got up to about 34. He kept his stroke long all the time...
...Saturday afternoon the Freshman first crew rowed a time trial upstream over the mile and seven-eights course from the Union Boat Club to the Longwood bridge. There was a strong head wind and the water was choppy so that no remarkable time was made, although the crew went over the course in 11 minutes and 27 seconds which may be considered satisfactory under the existing conditions...
Yesterday afternoon the University and second crews rowed downstream to the Longwood bridge, intending to row over the regular mile and seven-eighths course; but the water was so rough in the basin that it was impossible to go father down. The crews then rowed upstream to the Brighton bridge and a large part of the time was devoted to slowing down the slide and finishing out the stroke...
Yesterday afternoon the third University crew was disbanded, and a four-oar was formed, the rest of the crew going down to the class crews. The orders of the first and second crews remained the same yesterday, both going upstream together as far as the Brighton bridge, when they were forced to return to the boathouse, in order to adjust the outriggers on the starboard side of the shell, which were too far out to permit easy rowing. The crews then rowed upstream again, and the work was greatly improved...
...University crew. Severance was moved to number 3 and Lunt and Faulkner, who have both been tried at that position during the week, were moved to the second crew. Another important change occurred after the crews had returned to the boathouse when the University crew took a short stretch upstream with Captain Bacon at 4, in place of Glass, who was moved down to number 6, the position occupied by Captain Bacon up to this time. The shell went along more smoothly than it has for several days and showed distinctly that the changes are the ones which have been...
