...stroke in this boat being of great value. In the afternoon the Freshman eight went over the two-mile course up-stream. No time was taken. A low stroke was maintained, except for occasional short spurts. The boat went fairly well, but the men were inclined to lose their rhythm at a high stroke. A further change was made necessary in the University four in the afternoon, as Hooper was sent back to Boston on account of symptoms of measles. H.
