Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 11, 1912.--A warm day with a light breeze on the water gave the crews the first ideal conditions for rowing that they have had since arriving here.

The latter had gained almost a length at the mile and a quarter mark when both crews raised the stroke above thirty and the University pulled ahead with half a length to spare...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 7, 1912.--The University eight was given an easy time row over the full course here this afternoon, doing the four miles in 21 minutes and 22 seconds with a favoring wind and tide.

...afternoon the University crew rowed down over the full four miles in the face of a brisk wind, which made the upper part of the course fairly rough. The stroke was kept at about 26 until near the finish, when it went up to 36. Trumbull was kept out of the Freshman boat for the afternoon row, but will be back tomorrow. R. F. Herrick '90 visited the quarters today...
