...candidates for the various dormitory crews reported yesterday at their respective boathouses for the first day's work. The Weld, Thayer, and Mr. Auburn street crews were the only ones which went out from the Newell boathouse and of these Thayer showed the best form. The material at the Newell boathouse yesterday seemed to be far inferior to that of former years.

Nevertheless, the defensive work was Harvard's best quality. In the second half Captain Fish, who was hardly in condition, played brilliantly in Forster's place, inspiring the team with new life, which made the victory possible...
