Since the arrival of the squad at Ithaca on Thursday the University crew has been rowing twice a day, for the most part taking very light work. The crew has been together now for over three months, and although the weather conditions have been unusually poor this spring, the crew has developed into an exceptionally powerful and fast eight. Since the Columbia race on April 17, the order has been unchanged except for the absence of R. Cutler for one day and the temporary illness of Waid during the last few days. The men are much better together than they...
This year the Cornell crews have been very seriously handicapped by poor weather. Although they had their first work on the inlet on February 22, the crews were only able to get out about twice a week during the whole month of March.

This junior crew...

Both the Cornell crews had light work. The University crew especially showed great improvement in form and speed over its work as seen at the American Henley Regatta. The lake was very rough during the practice of the crews, and the weather was extremely hot with repeated showers...
...undoubtedly be of the highest class. While few records are likely to go, many will be closely approached. A number of last year's point winners will compete, but their chances of scoring again can hardly be based on their performances a year ago, because of the extremely bad weather conditions that prevailed at the time...
