...practice of the crews today was the race of a mile between the University and Freshman eights this afternoon over the last mile of the course. The two crews started even, and the University crew led by about three lengths of open water at the finish. Both boats went at a fairly high stroke all the way, the University eight raising it to 38 to the minute on the last few hundred yards. The University crew took the lead at the start and gradually increased it till the end. Both crews rowed well, but some faults were made evident...
Walter Alexander '87, captain and stroke of the 1887 University crew, watched the practice of the men from launch this afternoon. Assistant Manager G. P. Denny '09 returned from Cambridge this afternoon, and Dr. W. E. Ladd '02, who is in charge of the physical condition of the crews, went to Boston. He will probably return tomorrow...

The stroke was kept long even in the spurt and the men were all together throughout the course. The conditions were not particularly conducive to good time. The tide was practically at high water and there was a slightly favorable wind with rain the whole distance...
...University four-oared crew had light work in the morning, but in the afternoon rowed eight miles. The men went all the way down to the New London railroad bridge and back. This work helped them to become used to one another and to Cutler's stroke...

In this boat numbers 3, 4, and 5 did not manage their slides well and the shell spaced poorly between strokes as a result. The Freshman four-oar rowed only a short distance in the morning but in the afternoon went nearly four miles accompanied by Coach Gill in his single scull...
