...annual Harvard-Yale rowing regatta will be held on the Thames, near New London, Conn., on Thursday, June 27. The Freshman eights will start under the New London railroad bridge at 10 o'clock in the morning and will row upstream for two miles, finishing at the Navy Yard. Directly after the finish of the Freshman race, the University four-oared crews will start at the Navy Yard to race upstream. They will finish near the west shore of the Thames, opposite "Red Top." The race between the university eights is scheduled to start in the afternoon...
...Glass '08, who was moved from number 4 to 6, is the heaviest and tallest man in the boat. He was a candidate for the 1908 Freshman crew, but was taken sick and unable to row in the spring of 1905. Last year he rowed 4 in the Cornell and Yale races; but he contracted water on the knee in England last summer and was unable to take part in the race against Cambridge. He pulls a very powerful oar and has mastered the Wray stroke Glass is a very reliable man and is especially valuable on account...
...fifth thwart is occupied this year by W. R. Severance '09. Last year Severance rowed in the same position in the 1909 Freshman crew. He is a fairly smooth car, but has to be handled with care before any race because of his tendency to overtrain. He was unable to row against Columbia this year on account of poor condition, but in the Cornell race he kept well in unison with the rest of the crew, and pulled a strong and steady...
Harvard's Freshman crew is expected to win the first race of the day in the Regatta. The crew has been rowing well since a week before the men left Cambridge. Bacon at stroke is a reliable man and can row a fairly fast clip when necessary. Moreover, the Harvard Freshmen are a heavier and a smoother rewing crew than the Yale 1910 boat. They are not as strong as either the 1908 or the 1909 Freshman crews, but row together excellently...
...Freshman eight this morning. The crew started out after the rest of the Harvard crews had left the river, and went downstream as far as the Navy Yard in the launch. On account of the rough water the crew climbed into their shell just below the Navy Yard and rowed upstream over the last two miles of the University course. Bacon kept his stroke about 30 to 32 until the last half-mile, when he raised the pace to 34. The crew as a whole did not row as well as it has for the past few days...
