Saturday afternoon the Yale university and freshman eights rowed a three-mile race downstream from Gale's Ferry. 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...
...case last year, the race, on account of the tide, will be rowed downstream, starting from a point opposite the quarters...
Harvard Crew Quarters, New London, Conn., June 20, 1910. -- A continuation of Saturday's light practice was the order of events this morning. During the afternoon all the crews were put through some hard work. The members of the University eight were taken downstream to the railroad bridge at New London in the "John Harvard" with the shell in tow. About six o'clock they started back over the four-mile course. Hooper rowed 5, having been put in for today's practice in Bacon's place. It is expected that Bacon will have quite recovered from his indisposition...
...University crew paddled downstream a short distance beyond the half-way mark this afternoon in one stretch. The return to the boathouse was rowed without a stop. The crew shoved the shell ahead well on its keel and without any perceptible checking between strokes, although slight individual faults were noticeable. Metcalf at 3 did not bury his blade enough in the water, Withington at 4 failed to use his shoulders to the best advantage on the swing, and Waid was ahead of Cutler on the first part of the recovery. Coach Wray warned the men not to pull hard...
...Both fours covered about four miles. In the Freshman eight another change was made, Weston replacing Chadwick at 2. Weston is the stronger of the two men, and if his form continues to improve this shift will probably be permanent. The eight, followed by the Freshman four, also went downstream for a two-mile...
