...morning, the University, the seconds, and the Freshman rowed together down to the submarine base, taking it easy all the way, down and back. The stroke was kept low. In the afternoon, the University and Freshman crews took a slow three-and-a-half mile spin downstream. On the way back, both eights were occasionally given hard two-minute stretches by Coach Haines, but nothing in the nature of a time trial occurred.

Weeks Bridge in honor of the former Secretary of War. The University and the Commonwealth have received a gift from former business associates of Secretary Weeks and those who have since been admitted to the firm of which he was one of the founders, for the building of the bridge in commemoration of his achievements in behalf...

For practically the entire distance Winthrop rowed at a 28 stroke, raising it at the end to a 34 beat.

At this point, Johnson resumed his seat, and a half mile sprint between the two crews was ordered. Captain Kelley's eight easily opened up a lead of almost a length by the time the distance was completed. On the way back to the boathouse, both crews practiced a series of racing starts, sprinting the last quarter mile in to the float...
