...Quarters, New London, Conn., June 22, 1910.--The Freshman eight was given a hard time row over the two-mile course this morning. The crew left the mark rowing 38 but after the first hundred yards lowered it to 34. This pace was kept up until just before the finish when the stroke went up again to 38. No time was given out but Coach Wray expressed great satisfaction at the work of the crew. The other crews had light work this morning...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 15, 1910.--This morning the University eight went down-stream for a two-mile paddle, accompanied by Coach Wray in a single. Special attention was given to the finish of the stroke. The Freshman eight paddled down to Cow Point and back with Sullivan in place of Weston at 2. This position seems to be the only unsettled one in the 1913 boat, with the choice lying between Chadwick, Weston, and Sullivan.

As a whole the practice was very satisfactory to Coach Wray. The crew was well together, resulting in a powerful stroke with a quick finish. No time was taken for the Freshman eight. A mile race between the University fours was held in which the second crew, stroked by Forster, won by a length and a quarter. Sargent was at 2 in the second four, while Smith rowed 2 in the first four. Some further...
...Cutler raised the beat as high as 33 for the last half mile. Considering the strong head wind and tide the work of the crew was fairly good and although at times the men did not get the correct proportion throughout the stroke, the tendency to pound at the finish was much less. The crew returned to the boathouse in small stretches having covered about eight miles in all. The Freshman eight also took a long paddle down to the Navy Yard and back with a view to getting the eight together in its new order. The Freshman four covered...
...work for the better. Although Cutler has poor control of his oar at 3 and Stratton at 6 is inclined to fall over on the catch, in yesterday's short work-out the boat spaced well and did not pound as much as it has done formerly on the finish...
