...Conn., June 15.--The feature of today's practice of the University crews was a brush between Crews A and B this afternoon. Both these shells paddled up to the two-mile mark in stretches rowing about 28 strokes to the minute. At this point the second crew was given a length's start, and both crews settled down for a long stretch, Crew A rowing about 27 and the seconds working at a slighter higher stroke. At the three-fourths mile mark the first eight raised the stroke, but Crew B shot up a corresponding amount...
Rain only visited the practice of the University and Freshman crews once today, this being in the morning, when University A practiced starts from the quarters up to the Navy Yard and then rowed back at a stroke of 26 to Gales Ferry, and home again at 28. Coach Herrick gave his undivided attention in the morning to the second crew, using the "new Pup" in coaching up and down the mile course. Coach Haines accompanied the Freshmen...
Practice for the afternoon consisted of a two-mile row for University A in stretches, the stroke varying from 27 to 30. At the end of the last stretch the second crew was waiting to give the first a brush down-stream, and both crews started off rowing 40 strokes to the minute. The stroke was soon dropped to 36 and then to 38, and at the half-mile University A had a half-length's lead. Upon passing the mile mark both crews again dropped their stroke. There the Freshmen were waiting, and the 1919 shell, starting a length...
...Yale camp nothing out of the ordinary happened today. Both university crews took short rows, while the freshmen went to the Navy Yard and back. The most exciting bit of news in the Eli quarters is the fact that the freshmen have moved out of their old abode and are now living in a boathouse. Otherwise Gales Ferry is dead, although it might be mentioned that Fitzpatrick maintains his seat on the first crew; and that Page has now returned to his place on the same crew...
...same writer returns to the charge with "The Doctor from Spain." This time he develops an entertaining tale of the adventure of a pretended doctor; after the denouement he seems rather uncertain how to end his story. Mr. Parson has allowed himself hardly enough room, in "Captain Kidd and Crew," in which to manipulate his theme; and within his single page he wastes several sentences in making comments that disclose, for the writer of a story that deals with boys, an elderly type of mind. A delicate problem of conflicting views of honor and duty is set forth...
