...first and second University crews picked out a smooth stretch of about a mile and a half opposite the camp and spent the early evening hours paddling up and down at a low stroke. With last Saturday's time row as the last hard workout expected before the crew lines up with Yale by the bluff across from camp next Friday evening, the oarsmen are thinking hard about individual faults in order to be in top form for the race.
