...White, 2d, '17 was placed at 4 on University A, since M. Taylor '18 took 6, the place of H. S. Middendorf '16, who will be out until tomorrow with a cold. This change is not at all permanent. White also rowed his regular position with the second crew today. Coaches Herrick and Haines this afternoon laid great emphasis on the catch, and spent much time in showing the first eight how to use the power which they have in abundance. Crew A, however, showed the effects of Middendorf's absence, and lacked its customary unity...
...second and Freshman eights rowed to the Navy Yard, and on the way back a very pretty race was held between these boats. The Freshmen rowing four points higher than the seconds soon caught a slight lead and the race was neck and neck until the last drive, when Crew B raised the stroke and finished two lengths ahead of the 1919 men. The second crew is still poor at a low stroke, but much improvement was seen today in this race against a heavy wind and tide...
...Nickalls severely reprimands the Yale crew for failing to respond to their stroke, tells them that 'a coach cannot always be performing miracles,' and then accepts 'full responsibility for the disaster.' This is forgetting Mr. Courtney's share in the disaster, for it was his crew that made us row away from Yale so fast. A duel race with Yale would no doubt have decreased the size of the disaster for Yale and increased...
University A showed a distinct check in its stroke when rowing at a low stroke, but when Lund raised the pace, some very smooth rowing was seen. The second crew had a great advantage in wind because of their position, but the showing which these eight men made was remarkable. The swing of this second crew was in perfect unison and R. R. Brown '17 at stroke paced a splendid two-miler...
...Yale crews today also had a vacation, taking passage on the yachts "Lavarona" and "Margaret" and spending the day in cruising about. The Yale university crew yesterday did a mile down-stream in 4 minutes, 44 3-5 seconds, and appeared to be under no strain, although the new combination on this eight has not yet come into the harmony which will be necessary before June...
