...Conn., June 11, 1916.-Sunday was a day of rest for the University and Freshman eights, for the first and second University crews embarked in Coach Herrick's yacht, "Gypsey," and crossed over to Fisher's Island, when a large bonfire was built. Lunch was served on the island, the crews returning at 5 o'clock in the afternoon...

...Conn., June 8, 1916.--The University crews spent a disagreeable, rainy morning today in short races in which various boats were tried out. The first eight, rowing in a heavy Davy shell lost two races to the seconds; then the seconds took the heavy shell and the regulars won by a good margin. The difference cannot be blamed entirely on the shells, however, as the crew that wins twice is liable to lose a third race. The idea of the heavy shell is to keep the boat going on the recovery. The crew is now back in a Sims shell...
...Conn., June 6. -- Perhaps the most important part of today's practice of the University and Freshman crews at Red Top took place when the crews had finished their two mile paddle. Coach Guy Nickalls and Abbot of the Yale camp were coming down-stream in a pair-oar, alongside of whom was the "Pup" containing Coaches Haines and Herrick and several Crimson oarsmen.
