Leaving the second eight four lengths behind, the Harvard crew finished its strenuous training for Saturday's race by covering the mile and three-quarters course in 9 minutes 10 2-5 seconds under none too favorable conditions. The Crimson oarsmen put a splendid exhibition in their last time trial before the race with Pennsylvania and M. L. T., tarning in time which is a record for this season on the Basin and compares well with the best clocking turned in in the past...
...Harvard crew, materially strengthened by the return of Captain Geoffrey Platt '27 to the number 5 seat, pulled steadily away from the second eight. The time is especially impressive considering the sharp cross wind which kicked up a considerable chop in the lower Basin. Two years ago the 1928 Freshman crew made exactly the same time in a mile and three-quarters time trial, but on that occasion conditions were much more favorable. The second crew, stroked by C. McK. Norton '29. finished far behind but made fairly good time nevertheless...
...Pennsylvania crews, University, seconds, and Freshman, arrive at nine o'clock this morning and will be quartered at the Newell Boathouse, rowing both this morning and this afternoon, and probably twice tomorrow also. The Yale 150-pound crew and the Yale Junior class crew, which will face the Crimson lightweights and Sophomore crew, respectively, as the preliminary to the Saturday regatta, will arrive here this afternoon in time for an evening row. They will stay at the Weld Boat Club...
...Harvard crew will go into Saturday's race a favorite. The severe drubbings handed to M. I. T. and Pennsylvania by the Navy, coupled with the narrow margin of victory gained by the Annapolis oarsmen over Harvard, and the splendid showing of the Watts-stroked eight yesterday, makes it appear that Harvard will win its first victory under the regime of-Head Coach E. J. Brown '96. The crew is by no means certain of victory, however, for its opponents raced Navy early in the season and have had plenty of time to improve. Pennsylvania trailed Yale by five lengths...
...seatings of the 1930 first eight, the Freshman 150-pound boat, and the sophomore class crew for their respective races Saturday with Tech and Penn, the Yale first year 150-pounders, and the Eli class crew, follows...
