...Gram of the B. A. A. for first place in the exceptionally fast time of 5 2-5 seconds. Gram, with 3 feet handicap, succeeded in getting off the mark in the final heat a trifle ahead of Foster, but the latter ended in a characteristically strong sprint. The 50-yard handicap high hurdle race was won by J. K. Lewis '11, with a handicap of 4 feet, in 6 3-5 seconds. J. P. Long '11, running from scratch, finished second. In the 1000-yard run H. M. Warren '13 won second place...
...only able to gain by feet. About a quarter of a mile from the finish both crews were rowing stroke for stroke at 33 and absolutely even. Three hundred yards from the finish the University eight began to go steadily away and crossed the finish line in a sprint of from 34 to 35, a winner by a scant few feet of open water...

The University four rows in very good form and is well together, but needs a lot of work rowing long stretches at a high stroke...
...every undergraduate, made especially so by a firm belief that the crew was absolutely unbeatable, but in spite of this set-back, the chances for victory on July 1 are still apparently bright. The University crew seems to be essentially a four-mile combination, lacking the ability to sprint which wins the shorter race, and its strength and staying power are counted on to win for Harvard at New London. It is even believed by some that last Saturday's defeat will be of real advantage to the eight, as tending to do away with the overconfidence which has proved...
