...even competition for shortstop, and Marshall has won out by his cleaner fielding, though he is weak at the bat. Young has caught very well through the season, but in the last few games has shown the strain that the position makes on a man of light weight. Reeves or Brown may have to relieve him in the final games...
...biplane type, with a wingspread of 24 feet and a supporting surface of 200 square feet. The controlling elevators are the feature of the machine, and present 35 square feet of surface. The workmanship throughout is of spruce, hollowed for lightness and laminated for strength. The weight of the framework is about 150 pounds, and of the engine and propellor 200 pounds, making the total weight of machine and operator about 525 pounds, the lightest biplane ever built. The engine is four-cylinder, air-cooled, and will develop 30 horsepower...
...Harvard Bridge Technology was about two lengths ahead, and although displaying less finish than the Junior eight, got in well and showed good leg drive.

Here Technology's superior weight told, and although the Juniors were rowing in much better form, the former began to draw away faster. Towards the end of the race both crews let down somewhat, and finished easily with four lengths of open water between them...
...that some changes will be made in the order of the University boat during the next few days. At present Withington is rowing 6 on the second crew but it seems likely that he will regain his position at 4 on the University crew.

It is also...
...Annapolis eight relied too much upon their arms and legs and also attempted to keep up too high a stroke; they were jerky on the catch and had a weak finish. The University crew, on the other hand, rowed a clean, hard race. The men used their weight and body swing better than did the Annapolis crew, and showed an abundance of reserve power at the finish. The time was rather poor but this is accounted for by the fact that the race was rowed against the tide, as well as against what wind there was. In a practice trial...
