Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 7, 1912.--The University eight was given an easy time row over the full course here this afternoon, doing the four miles in 21 minutes and 22 seconds with a favoring wind and tide. Coach Wray sent the crew across the starting line off Red Top about 5.30 o'clock, rowing a stroke of 28 to the minute. This was maintained until the last half-mile, when Newton raised it to 36 for a hard finish. For the first two miles the work of the men was a little below standard...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 6, 1912.--The work of the crews today was materially interferred with by a high wind which blew directly up the course, making the water extremely rough. In the morning only the University and Freshman eights went out. The former crossed the river, but found the water under the opposite bank too rough, and returning, met the Freshman crew, half way across. The two then paddled into the boathouse...

In spite of the fact that the stroke was kept well below a racing pace the time was particularly good for so early in the season. The crews were favored by fair wind and tide...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 4.--Fairly easy work both morning and afternoon was the order for all the University crews today. The University eight in the morning rowed about a mile and a half down stream and took the first half-mile of the return at a fairly high stroke, paddling the rest of the way back to the quarters. The fours and Freshman eights took short paddles...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 3, 1912.--The University and Freshman crew squads arrived here this afternoon, and all crews were sent out on the river immediately. The University eight paddled easily down stream to the three-mile mark and back again, and the other crews took things easy on account of the heat. Trumbull has returned to his seat at five in the Freshman boat. Dr. Young accompanied the squad and reported that all the men are in good condition...
