...University crew was given light practice yesterday afternoon in the new shell built by Davy. The chief fault was in the checking of the boat, which has been apparent for some time and which was due largely to the fact that the men started the body movement and leg drive before the oars were well anchored. In the work yesterday the crew was more or less handicapped by the use of the new shell which is not yet properly rigged. The boat itself rode well in rough water and carried the crew well...
...short brush between the second and third crews yesterday was won by the third by about a length and a half. The third crew was fresh when the brush started, whereas the second had just rowed over the full course. The chief fault with the second was a marked tendency to cut off the finish of the stroke too soon...

Shuebruk and Smith have been moved to 4 and 2 respectively and Ober has gone to 2 in the second.

The fielding, particularly that of the infield, was loose and unsteady. Stephenson was again tried at second base, but was still somewhat uncertain, his chief fault being slowness in starting...
