...University and Freshman crew squads leave for New London...

The university crew kept its stroke at 34, and, though the freshmen spurted to 38 at intervals, won by several lengths. No time was given out. There were no changes in the orders of the crews. Coach Kennedy is continuing to give his men the benefit of long rows, finding that thus he can detect the weak points in the crews. There will be little morning practice until examinations are over tomorrow...
...University four-oars raced in the Basin yesterday afternoon. Starting from the Cottage Farm Bridge the first crew gave the second six lengths handicap.

Captain Frost is the only veteran oarsman on the crew, as Van Sinderen, who rowed on the University eight last year and has stroked it a good deal this year, failed to keep his place and was dropped from the squad when it left New Haven...
