...closeness the four-oared race was the best of the day. Both crews started at 36 to the minute, with Yale having a slight advantage, which was increased to almost a length by the time the half-mile flag was reached. On nearing the mile mark, where rough water was encountered, Harvard made her supreme effort, and soon after passing the mile flag went into the lead, rowing a clean 31 to Yale's desperate 34. Yale held on doggedly, but at the mile and one-half mark was a length and three-quarters behind. Harvard finished in 13 minutes...
...first time since the start, and the boat drew away rapidly. Harvard had met Yale's last spurt with disastrous results for Yale, and now began to increase the lead at will. Passing the two and one-half mile mark Harvard had a good margin of open water. At 3 miles the lead, was 3 lengths and over a length was added in the next half-mile. During the last half-mile Cutler worked the stroke up gradually, until the crew crossed the finish line rowing 39 strokes to the minute in beautiful form, a winner by six lengths...
...Coach Wray followed in his single scull, coaching the men on their individual faults. L. Withington at 5 does not seem to get his shoulders on very well at the catch, and Lunt's finish is not yet satisfactory. The whole crew is inclined to tear at the water at the catch instead of dropping the oars in quickly without jerking. In spite of these slight faults, however, the crew continues to show marked improvement with every row. The Freshman eight did no harder work than in the morning, with the exception of one racing start with the stroke...
...boat. His rowing is always of a high order and he steadies the whole crew. This year's Yale four does not seem to be up to the usual standard. The crew seems to row much shorter than last year's four and the men all tear at the water without regard to form, but the boat seems to move fast. On the showing of both crews to date, Harvard should win this race...
...four took a light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went out at about 6 o'clock. The water was almost calm. The University eight took a row down-stream to the three-mile flag and back. A stroke of 28 was maintained all the way until the last stretch before the boathouse, when it was raised as high as 42. Although the slide work was poor at times...
