About six o'clock all the crews went out again, the two eights paddling down stream three miles, and on the return were given a mile race. The Freshmen rowed a slightly higher stroke and gained the lead only to lose it a quarter mile from the boathouse, when both crews raised the stroke to 35. Both eights are going very well at present, the Freshmen in particular are showing fine form as compared with past Freshman crews. The rhythm and time of the University crew are much improved and the fault of clipping the catch at a high stroke...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top. New London, Conn., June 10, 1912.--The University eight was given a hard workout this afternoon. The crew paddled down to the three-mile flag in company with the Freshman eight.

The encouraging feature of the practice was that the men held the stroke longer than they have done previously, although the stroke was the highest they have reached since coming here. The University four...
...afternoon the two eights again paddled to the Navy Yard and on the return trip were given a half-mile brush. The Freshmen stole half a length at the start, but were not called back. The 1915 men rowed in splendid form, and the University eight had difficulty in overhauling them. At the finish the University boat was a quarter of a length in the lead...

Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 4.--Fairly easy work both morning and afternoon was the order for all the University crews today. The University eight in the morning rowed about a mile and a half down stream and took the first half-mile of the return at a fairly high stroke, paddling the rest of the way back to the quarters. The fours and Freshman eights took short paddles...
