...floats at the University boathouse were put out yesterday, and two eights from the University squad went out in barges on the river, for the first time this season. The crews rowed several stretches up and down in front of the boathouse, while Mr. Colson coached, from the float. The stroke was kept very slow, neither of the crews rowing more than twenty strokes to the minute. The rest of the squad rowed in pair oars...
...crews out on the river. During the afternoon all the Weld upperclass crews and the Newell Seniors, as well as a crew picked from members of the first Weld Freshman squad, were sent out. As yet no definite plans appear to have been made for putting out the floats at the boathouses, in spite of the fact that their absence causes much inconvenience.

C. Storrow reached the quarters in the afternoon and the Freshman crew with Coach Blake arrived in the launch from New London. They did no rowing as their shells...
