...university team scored on a goal by Bomar, kicked from the 35-yard line after Coy had heeled a catch. Two more points were added on a safety from a kick that rolled across the scrub's goal. As a whole the work was fast and snappy...
...last year occupied the corresponding position in the University shell. After Severance, Faulkner, and several other men had been tried out for number 7 this year, Coach Wray decided to move Richardson down the boat. He has demonstrated his ability to pass the beat up the boat at a fast as well as at a slow stroke, and on account of his exceptional endurance is a splendid man to have for the starboard stroke...
...University four-oar crew lacks that very power which the eight seems to have. The men have gotten fairly well together, but do not seem to be able to send their shell through the water fast enough. The Yale four-oar, on the other hand, works smoothly and forces the boat to run along considerably between strokes. The men appear to be a more powerful crew than the Harvard four, and for that reason are expected to win, although not so easily as last year...
Harvard's Freshman crew is expected to win the first race of the day in the Regatta. The crew has been rowing well since a week before the men left Cambridge. Bacon at stroke is a reliable man and can row a fairly fast clip when necessary. Moreover, the Harvard Freshmen are a heavier and a smoother rewing crew than the Yale 1910 boat. They are not as strong as either the 1908 or the 1909 Freshman crews, but row together excellently...
...afternoon, however, the showing was less satisfactory. The crew went downstream again to the Navy Yard and back in long stretches--and one half-mile was rowed with a stroke of 38, which was raised to 40 in the last 100 yards. The boat travelled better with the fast stroke than it did with the slow. Nevertheless, the work of the day as a whole was very encouraging. The crew has the possibility of becoming a very fast eight within the week that remains before the race...
