...teaching the crew to row smoothly. Considerable time was devoted to trying out strokes in all three crews on the squad. In the first crew Bacon was tried for the first month, and then Sargent was put in. At the end of the fall rowing a race was held over the four mile course in order to try out the men; and the rowing of the University crew in that race was fairly smooth. This spring six men picked from the dormitory crews were added to the squad; and these, together with the men who were on the squad last...
...making the rowing smooth the work at a low stroke last fall accomplished the desired end; and the crew has developed fairly well this spring. The showing of the last few days has been below par, but nearly a week remains to round off the crew. The two-mile race with a lighter crew, under conditions which will doubtless be most favorable to a light crew, will be a very interesting try-out for all the men, and especially the stroke...
...crew, the preliminary season at Annapolis has been as successful as possible, considering the disadvantages under which the cadets are placed in athletics. The crew commenced its out-door training early and is well advanced for this season of the year. Because of faculty restrictions the annual Yale-Annapolis race had to be omitted this spring, and for the same reason the navy will be prevented from entering the Poughkeepsie regatta in June. These conditions make the Harvard race of unusual importance to the cadets, and this interest, coupled with the fact that their crew is better prepared than Harvard...
...last heavy work in preparation for the Annapolis race next Wednesday was done yesterday, when the University crew raced a mile and seven-eighths, paced for the first mile and a quarter by the University second crew and the last half-mile by the Freshmen. On the start, opposite the Union Boat Club, the first crew drew away from the second, although rowing a lower stroke, and after the first quarter-mile led by a length. The University crew was rowing about 32 and the second about two points higher. This lead was maintained for the next half-mile...
