Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 13, 1913.--When the University eight took the water this morning a change was made in the shell used. The boat built by Sims of Putney was substituted for that built by Ward in which the crew has been rowing since early this spring. Today the Freshmen used the Ward boat. This change in boats makes them more suitable to the weights of the two crews. The Ward boat formerly used by the University eight, which has a light bow, was observed to ride too far out of the water forward between strokes...
...oared shells, one of which is a gift from Mr. Robert F. Herrick '90. One of them is an American boat, made by Ellis Ward of Philadelphia, the first one that the University has used for some time. The other is a Sims boat, from Geo. Sims & Sons, Putney, Eng. The two boats will be about the same size and model as the other boats that have been used lately, and will differ very slightly from each other. Two new 4-oared shells have arrived within a year; one was used last June in the Yale Race, and the other...

...shell for the University crew, presented by Mrs. Robert Bacon, which was made by George Sims & Son, of Putney, England, arrived in Boston yesterday morning on the steamship "Cambrian."

The new shell is 61 feet long and is of the American type, all the seats being placed directly over the keel instead of being alternately to port and starboard as in all English boats...

The order has just been placed with George Sims and Son of Putney, England, the same firm which has made several shells for the crew.
