...shell was taken downstream about two miles and a half in long stretches at a slow stroke in order to help shake the crew together. Both Freshman crews went short distances in the morning, but in the afternoon the eight covered about four miles at a fairly good speed in short stretches. The Freshman four went downstream about two miles and returned...
