Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 13, 1913.--When the University eight took the water this morning a change was made in the shell used. The boat built by Sims of Putney was substituted for that built by Ward in which the crew has been rowing since early this spring. Today the Freshmen used the Ward boat. This change in boats makes them more suitable to the weights of the two crews. The Ward boat formerly used by the University eight, which has a light bow, was observed to ride too far out of the water forward between strokes...
...Yale university and freshman crews have been practicing at Gales Ferry for the past two weeks under the instruction of Coaches Gold and Kirby. The crews this year are again using the English shells having the seats away from the centre of the boat, and with their English form of rowing got a long reach and body swing. It is this feature which marks the chief difference between the Harvard and Yale styles of rowing, the University stroke being much shorter in the water...
...sharp, driving finish and a quick starting of the recovery. At the catch, he called for a firmer application of power as the weight of the shoulder was put on. In the stretches in which the crews put this coaching into effect, the results were clearly noticeable; the boat ran faster during the recovery, and seemed lighter at the catch. If the men can thoroughly master the technique of these points, if they can put them into practice at a high stroke, it will materially brighten the prospects for the Yale race...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 9, 1913.--All the crews were given a long spin this morning, paddling at an easy gait down-stream for the first two miles and returning at a somewhat faster pace. Captain Abeles was out of the boat on account of a slight cold, but followed the crew in the launch. A change was made in the University four, Saltonstall taking Carver's place at bow, the latter going down to the second four...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 6, 1913.--The University and Freshman eights were sent over the upper two miles of the course today, the University boat leading with low stroke and going better than at any other time this season. Fuller rowed at 2 in place of Meyer who will be absent from the quarters till Monday. In the University four Gardiner replaced Pirnie at stroke, the latter going to 2 in the second four...
