...been somewhat distracted from University athletics, with the possible result that baseball and rowing men feel that they are not receiving the support of former years. If such be the case these athletes must remember that a year ago there was nothing to prevent the Yale game and the race from being the prevailing topics of the hour. Harvard men have the interests of their crew just as much at heart as a year ago, and the rowing season which ends at New London today, has been one of unprecedented activity. There is naturally not the superabundant confidence of victory...
...intercollegiate boat race in which Harvard, Yale and Cornell are represented, will be rowed this afternoon at 2 o'clock over the four mile course on the Thames. Like the race of last year the outcome of today's contest is pretty generally conceded to one crew. In the opinion of most rowing experts Cornell will have no difficulty in securing the victory today.

...only other entry in the senior event is the Worcester High School crew, which won the intermediate race in the national regatta at Philadelphia last August and defeated the Freshman crew this spring. The race today will practically end the Weld rowing season, although it is probable that, if the crew wins today, it will be sent to row in the People's regatta at Philadelphia on July...
