Yale Training Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 14, 1911.--The Yale crew was sent over the full four-mile course this afternoon. The stroke was kept low and no attempt was made to reach racing speed. The time given out was 23 minutes, 38 seconds. After the row the men were taken back to their quarters in the launch Elihu Yale. The conditions were perfect.

...afternoon a further change was made in the substitution of L. Curtis for Converse at 5. This shift also worked to advantage. The two eights paddled as far as the three-mile mark together and for a time the Freshmen held their own with the University crew, both rowing the same stroke. On the last mile to the railroad bridge the University eight went on alone, raising the stroke gradually to 32. This last stretch was some of the best rowing the crew has done this season...
