...University crew rowed downstream below the Navy Yard at a stroke of about 24, raising it to about 26 on the return and finishing with a stroke of 32.

...June 14, 1905.--The University crew rowed a mile and a half down-stream this morning. The boat spaced well between strokes, but the bow four were ahead of the stroke on the catch.

Several members of the university squad have been given a short rest since the crews arrived at New London, as it was believed that they were slightly overtrained. Daly has been out of the boat for the past few days and his place has been...
