Since their defeat then, the Weld crews have shown considerable improvement, and have taken Blake '99 from the College crew into the intermediate boat, where he has been rowing at 6. They have had constant racing practice, as the three crews have been out together every afternoon and have rowed some fast times rows, doing the mile and a half in 7.50 and the mile under five minutes...
