...RED TOP, GALES FERRY, June 11.--The University crew had very light work today, both in the morning and in the afternoon. It consisted chiefly in practicing racing starts and in short spurts with a high stroke. Swaim took his regular place at bow this morning and Hartwell returned to bow in the four-oared.

The men, however, were less steady on their stretchers than yesterday and the day before, and the hitch...

In paddling down to the mark to start for the time row this afternoon, the University crew showed much better form than they have...
