...revival of class races four years ago greatly intensified an already healthy and lasting interest in rowing. As a result, besides having a series of interesting and closely contested races, we have men continually in readiness to fill vacant places in the University crew, while the class boats take from the University captain much of the trouble of elementary coaching and training, and for a time relieve him of the care of his substitutes...

The pursuers pull themselves together in obedience to their coach's warning voice, as their boat showed a tendency to roll when it meets the wash thrown from the oars of the leading crew. Another twenty yards, and the word is given. The bow of the pursuing craft overlaps the stern of the pursued; a moment more, and with a fresh impetus of a final spurt, "cox" ventures to edge over to the side of the vanquished; and amid a turmoil of shouts...
