...held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon the University scored one touchdown on the second team. The scrimmage was hard, and wigglesworth, who was in O'Flaherty's place at quarterback, ran the first team hard. P. D. Smith was on the field dressed to play, but only did light work. Corbett, Frothingham and O'Flaherty were given a rest, none of them taking part in the scrimmage...
Then the substitutes went in on both teams, and the team-work became lax. Wigglesworth made several long gains, and a few minutes later caught a punt on his own 40-yard line and ran for a touchdown.

Wiggins took bow in the second boat in place of Shillito, who filled the bow position in the third crew...
Since Monday there has been an improvement in the work of the second and third crews, but their rowing is not up to the standard. In the University crew the faults noticeable the first day on the river have not disappeared. The men still rush the slides, jerk at the catch and show a general unsteadiness. The individual work of the men in the first boat has been fairly good, but the crew rows as individuals and not as one man. The stern four are responsible for the tendency to rush the slides...
