...amount of baseball ability that is latent in this year's squad, but it has never appeared in any of the many different combinations thus far attempted. If this period of mediocrity can be called the proverbial mid-season slump, at lease one record has been broken-the length of time it has lasted...
Harvard, though placed a little back of the starting line, took the lead in the first few strokes, rowing at the rate of 38 to the minute as against Cornell's 36. Shortly after the quarter-mile flag was reached, Harvard led by a clear length, with both crews rowing 34 strokes to the minute.

The crews got away evenly at the start, but about two hundred yards down the course number five in the Freshman boat caught a crab. This gave the Sophomores a slight advantage, but they did not hold it long. A half-mile from the start the Freshmen began to draw away, and just before Harvard Bridge they led by about a length.
