...trial eights of the University crew squad were sent upstream yesterday to the Brighton bridge in short stretches and back to the boathouse at a fast pace. Owing to the numerous changes in the orders the work was ragged and the boats did not maintain an even keel. Morgan's crew, rowing a 27 stroke, spaced poorly, and the men failed to get all the power out of the stroke, the starboard side particularly being uneven. Ball's crew caught the water well together, but were inclined to rush their slides. Amberg's work at 7 was very creditable...
...fall. The men rowed upstream about 1 and 1-2 miles in several easy stretches and returned to the University boathouse about 4.50 o'clock. Both crews showed slight improvement over their work on Tuesday, and the first crew was able to keep its shell on a fairly even keel. The second boat, however, as was also the case in the former practice, spaced out the more consistently between strokes...
...June 21, 1906--The work of all the crews today was rather light, the University eight paddling an easy four miles in the morning, and a three-mile stretch late in the afternoon, when great improvement was shown, the boat keeping on an evener keel than it has for some time, and the men rowing with life and fire. In the afternoon the Freshman eight paddled one and one-half miles in good shape, for all the men pulled hard with a smooth and finished stroke. Three of the Freshman squad, however, E. Cutler, J. Cutler, and Kemp, are still...
...ebbing tide and a south wind. They rowed out in the current on the way back to the quarters. Filley maintained throughout the practice the slowest stroke he has used this year, paddling along at 26 and 27 strokes to the minute. The shell was on an even keel all the time and the men rowed in clean form...
...Faulkner was moved from 5 to 7, Rackemann from 7 first to bow and later to 3, and Severance from 3 to 5. Also, Kennard was tried at number 3 part of the time. A slow stroke was maintained. The boat spaced well, and kept on a fairly even keel in the row of about 1 1-2 miles up steam...
