Glendon coached crews never have raced each other in a dual meet until this year-as you have stated-but in the 1924 Olympic tryouts, Glendon Sr.'s Navy Officers' crew met and defeated "Rich's" midshipmen. Yale, in turn, beat the officers' "Grandfather Eight" by a few yards...
Philadelphia, May 24--The Harvard 150-pound crew and the third University eight will be up against crack crews in these classes when they race over the Henley course on the Schuylkill River here tomorrow. Gathered for competition in the American Henley are oarsmen from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Navy, and Pennsylvania...
Timely hitting made up for Harvard miscues afield as the University team sent Hollstrom, Hanoverian mound ace, home with his first defeat of the season.

The oarsmen kept up a steady beat of about 28 for the first two miles and raised it gradually to sprinting finish during most of the final half mile.

The eights paddled separately from the Perkins Institute to the Newell Boathouse, a distance of about three and one half miles. The beat was kept low for most of the distance but was raised gradually to the high 30's at the finish...
