...showing of the graded crews this fall has been very poor. Scarcely enough men have reported at either boathouse to form two crews, so the development has necessarily been slow. Both boats have shown a tendency to hang at the catch, and space poorly, but the Newell crew has been together longer, and therefore has a better rhythm and can keep the shell on a more even keel. A number of the men rowed on the same dormitory crew, and their improvement in the last few days has been more rapid, so that the Newell crew is expected...
...catch and finish was mediocre. Gradually, however, the crew has improved on these lines, and the rowing of the eight is now marked by a good, hard leg-drive and a splendid finish. During the past week Coach Wray has been trying to eliminate a slight tendency to hang, instead of turning around quickly, on the catch. The University crew should undoubtedly win out this afternoon...
...work in this race was not satisfactory to Coach Wray. After resting a few days the crew resumed work in Cambridge, having about two weeks there before leaving for New London. In these few days the crew seemed to go backward rather than forward in its development. A decided hang was developed at the catch, the life and dash of the crew was gone, the stroke was considerably shortened, and Sargent did not regain his form. In the first few days at New London the crew improved materially and seemed to be emerging from its slump, but the work...
...Harvard. From this point on the second University crew sprinted but was only able to cut down the lead a quarter of a length. Pennsylvania finished two lengths behind Harvard. The work of the crew in this first race was listless, there was a marked tendency at times to hang at the catch, and when the crew was passed by Cornell in the early part of the race, all the men were rushing their slides...

A careful computation of the probable results seems slightly to favor Yale, but the victory will turn with the few doubtful points that hang in the balance...
