The time is one second better than the record made last spring by the Weld Freshman crew. The first Newell eight finished in second place, one-third of a length behind the first Weld. The second Newell was third, two lengths and a half behind the Newell first, and one length and a half ahead of the second...
...Newell stroke was very lively, and was rowed with a great deal of dash. Under Harvard Bridge the two first crews were even and each spurted for the lead. When they appeared on the farther side, the Weld eight was slightly in advance, and seemed to be going ahead fast. The Newell boat, however, fought pluckily, answering every spurt of the Weld, which drew away foot by foot and finished one third of a length ahead. The second crews gradually fell behind the others, and when they finished the second Newell was three lengths behind the leaders...

...teams and a regular game was played. Only one goal was used, one side playing on the defensive through the entire practice, so that no account was taken of the score. The men have improved steadily since the work during vacation and the practice yesterday was sharp and fast, showing a good amount of team work on both sides...
