...Bob" Cook is expected to make a visit to New Haven next week before going home, and in order that the coaches might have something to tell him about the crew, a time trial over the four-mile course in the harbor was taken in early part of this week. It is early for such a trial, and the time taken does not give much of a pointer on the crew, as they have not tried to develop much speed as yet. However, the trial was satisfactory, as is generally known, although they have tried to keep it a most...
...visible in the time over the whole four miles, except for a few strokes now and then, and the shell was carried along on a fairly even keel. The watermanship was good. Little can be said of the stroke, which is as nearly as one can see it the "Bob" Cook stroke and the exact counterpart of the one set by Gallaudet and Johnson, perhaps a little longer...

This is a month earlier than he was expected and the Yale crew is jubilant at the announcement.

It may be that this over-confidence may act strongly to Harvard's advantage. The present week's work and its day-to-day improvement or deterioration will tell the story by next Monday...

Even "Bob" Cook told me that the Columbia freshman crew is the "worst freshman crew" he ever saw. Still, their stroke, Pierrepont is an excellent oar and their improvement may be more rapid than Harvard '97, whose crew today was rowing in very fair form. Hollister, by the way, has been put back in the boat at No. 2 in place of Sleeper...
