...Freshmen won the match race with the Sophomores yesterday afternoon to determine which crew should be sent to the Henley Regatta Saturday. As the length of the course was not accurately measured, no time was taken. The crews got away evenly at the start, but about two hundred yards down the course number five in the Freshman boat caught a crab. This gave the Sophomores a slight advantage, but they did not hold it long. A half-mile from the start the Freshmen began to draw away, and just before Harvard Bridge they led by about a length. At this...
...while his move may cost Cornell the victory in the Harvard race, it is the only one that could prove wise in the long run.

...race between the Sophomore and Freshman eights to determine which crew will be sent to the Henley Regatta at Philadelphia, Saturday, will be rowed at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

It is a sportsmanlike act and we wish them all the luck they deserve in the close race that is sure to follow...

It is now probable that a coxless four-oar will be developed for the American Henley Regatta at Philadelphia on May 23, instead of an eight. Last year the second crew was not broken up into four oars until May 27, and this plan will therefore give the four-oar two more weeks than usual in which to prepare for the Yale race on June 25. E. Cutler was able to row yesterday after...
