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...
Toward the afternoon the wind shifted to westward and moderated somewhat, so that the men were able to find a half-mile or so or smooth water on the opposite side of the river. The University and Freshman crews were given only one or two racing starts and sent in to the boathouse. The four-oars, however, were matched in two brushes, both of which were won by the University crew. When tried out against the eight in a start, the University four got away a little the faster, rowing splendidly at a high stroke...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 5, 1912.--The University crew rowed over the four-mile course this afternoon, the Freshmen pacing the Varsity for the first two miles.

...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...
...afternoon the University crew rowed down over the full four miles in the face of a brisk wind, which made the upper part of the course fairly rough. The stroke was kept at about 26 until near the finish, when it went up to 36. Trumbull was kept out of the Freshman boat for the afternoon row, but will be back tomorrow. R. F. Herrick '90 visited the quarters today...
