...University squad is rowing in two divisions, under Mr. Colson. A faster stroke is being developed and the men are getting to row more easily together and to keep in the centre of the boat. The crews are using a long, even stroke, but hang badly at the full reach. There is still so much ice in the river that the crews cannot get on the water for at least another week. The ice is very thick, and has torn up the marine railway, so that a new one will have to be built for the launch...

The Newell Sophomores are making a fair showing, but have most of the faults noticeable in the other crews. The Freshmen at both clubs...
