...University and Jayyee eights rowed downstream this morning for a six-mile stretch at a slow paddle, with Whiteside devoting most of his attention to the latter boat. Armstrong's aggregation, though showing more than usual strength, has lacked the smoothness which is essential over a long course. Whiteside is now polishing up the individual faults in the crew, in an endeavor to perfect the performance of the whole...
This time the two University crews paddled to the start of the four-mile stretch, and went over the distance at a low stroke, to familiarize the oarsmen with the landmarks of the course. The Freshman and combination eights went downstream once more, this time stopping at the start of the upstream two-mile course, which they covered at a stroke of about 24. The total distance covered by the four crews was 28 miles, that covered by the University crew...
While the University and Jayvee eights were taking their longer downstream paddles the combination and Freshman boats also went down stream, limiting their workout to five miles, however. All men reported in good condition and camp life is now running in good order, the managers having had a full day to get things into full swing...
...three Harvard eights went for their last row on the Charles late yesterday afternoon, the Jayvee and third boats embarking first for a short excursion downstream, and returning immediately to the Newell boathouse. Shortly afterward the first boat set out for the Basin at a brisk paddle, proceeding below the Technology boathouse. On the return trip Cassedy set a slightly higher beat, and was rowing a good 40 when the shell passed under the Lars Anderson Bridge. From today until the end of the week the squad will be free to do as it likes. Whiteside feeling that the danger...
...monster shot under the Albany bridge of the Hudson River, heading downstream, a monster shaped like a huge boat, edged with foam and letting out an enormous engine roar. Quickly the monster lost its symmetry, split up into 101 separate hydroplane, outboard and runabout motor boats. In its roar the drone of individual engines could be distinguished. In the boats, bouncing on the floorboards in their padded driving suits, clutching their wheels with one hand while with the other they tuned their engines, could be seen the pilots, the ablest outboard and runabout "bugs" in the country, off again...
