...crew season swung into its second week on the river yesterday all except the House eights had made their appearance. Eleven Varsity boats, composed of six heavy eights and five fifties, rowed the upstream course under Coaches Whiteside and Hoople, while three Freshman barges, manned by Red Top aspirants, and two fifties struggled under Bert Haines' experienced eye. Varsity seatings in the first two shells remained substantially unchanged with Drury and Cutler setting the stroke...

Arrived near the end of the float, he pushed the post ahead, swam to the dock, climbed nimbly out, and hoisted up his prize.

The Eli shell covered the course in today's time trial in 20 minutes, 12 seconds, with tide conditions not as favorable as those under which the Crimson made their record of 19 minutes, 43 2-5 seconds. Coach Whiteside was extremely pleased with the Harvard showing, the fastest early trial time chalked up in several years...
