...tide of about two hours and a following wind of ten knots, four miles were covered in 19 minutes, 43 seconds, which beats the Yale time by over a minute. The second University paced Crew A over the first two miles and nosed out a victory, but C. C. Lund '16 was saving his men for the last half, as the Freshmen were waiting to give them a race over the last lap. The 1919 boat was going along at a high stroke and would probably have finished ahead, but in the last drive a submerged log was struck, which...
University A showed a distinct check in its stroke when rowing at a low stroke, but when Lund raised the pace, some very smooth rowing was seen. The second crew had a great advantage in wind because of their position, but the showing which these eight men made was remarkable. The swing of this second crew was in perfect unison and R. R. Brown '17 at stroke paced a splendid two-miler...
...morning practice today saw C. C. Lund '16 back at stroke on University A, and R. R. Brown '17 rowed his old place at stroke on the second boat. Crew A had a regulation work-out, but an exciting race was staged between the Freshmen and the second eight. The 1919 shell secured a bad start, but by raising the stroke they soon caught up and held their own until near the finish, when the second crew with a fine spurt shot ahead and won by a length. The race was over the two-mile course upstream...
...afternoon Coaches Herrick and Haines gave all their time to the first eight which, with a favorable tide and a moderately favorable wind, rowed the two-mile course up-stream. The stroke was picked up rapidly at the beginning, 34 being the average, but after the first half-mile Lund steadied it down to between 28 and 30. The first crew looked exceptionally well today, for all eight men were rowing smoothly and the coaches were considerably impressed...
...afternoon Brown stroked the first crew over the four-mile course in the excellent time of 20 minutes, 55 seconds. Brown looked good, but of course would have his hands full to displace a man of Lund's experience. The stroke was kept at about 24 until the last spurt, when it was put up to nearly 40. Wiggin stroked the second boat in Brown's place. The Freshman and second crews went down to the Navy Yard. The coaches took the Freshmen in hand this afternoon, and they showed a decided improvement as a result...
