...University crews have been on the river daily during the past week under the direction of Coach Wray. Owing to the mild weather the amount of work has been increased and there has been a general improvement. Up to this time the second crew, composed of last year's Freshman eight, has shown the better form. The men are swinging fairly well together but are not getting enough power from their leg drive. Farley's boat has a tendency to clip the stroke at the finish and several of the men are not catching the water quick enough. Yesterday...
...crews are showing the best form. In a race between these crews yesterday over the regular course, the Randolph crew gained half a length on the Westmorly boat. The bumping races will be held in the near future, so that the crews may have the advantage of the mild weather. No definite plans have been made, but the races will be conducted in much the same manner as last year...
...practice yesterday was not quite as spirited as on the previous day, due in part to the damp weather, which made it very warm for the men. In the 15 minute scrimmage the most interesting feature was a 22-yard end run by Lockwood, who carried the ball to within easy striking distance of the second team's goal, enabling the first team to score its only touchdown.

The pay is small and the work proportionally hard, for two men are always on patrol duty at night and on foggy days, and no matter what the weather is, they must remain out four hours at a time. Frequent drills are held with the self-righting and self-bailing boats and with the breeches-buoy...
Football practice began on September 10, the work at first being very light on account of the warm weather and consisting of passing and punting. The squad now numbers 47 men, and during the past week the candidates have been very thoroughly drilled in all departments of the game. The men have shown considerable speed and understanding of the new rules, and there has been a noticeable improvement not only in the usual line plays, but also in the new forward pass and onside punt to which particular attention has been given. There is every prospect of a strong team...
