...University crew has recently made one or two trials in the new square-sterned shell designed by C. H. Crane '94. Later on, time trials will be held and the new style shell will be compared with the old, in order to find out which is the faster. The new boat is about six feet shorter than the standard shells which have been used for the past 25 years, and draws almost an inch more water. The stern resembles the sterns of the swift motor-boats...

The distinctive feature of the new shell is its stern, which will be square, instead of being drawn out to a fine point as in previous boats. The new shell embodies some of the lessons Mr. Crane learned in designing hydroplanes. Although it is square, it is so built that it will drag the least possible water astern. The fact that it is seven feet shorter than previous boats will materially lessen...
...Harvard Bridge and the single sculls a little above that point. Over the first half of the course the water was fairly smooth, but after the men left the shelter of the shore there was a quartering wind and sea which bothered them considerably. The University eight and stern six men of the second eight competed in the double scull race, pairing off according to their positions, while six members of the third eight and the bow two of the second eight rowed in the single scull race...
...offered by R. P. Blake '94 will be held over a one-mile course between the Cottage Farm and Harvard bridges this afternoon at 3.45 o'clock. These races are open to members of the University crew squad only. In the doubles race the University eight and stern six of the second eight will compete, pairing off according to their positions in the boats: stroke and 7, 6 and 5, and so on. Weather conditions will determine whether the races will be rowed up or down-stream...
