...annual Harvard-Yale boat races will be rowed on the Thames River at New London on Thursday, June 30. The race between the University eights will be rowed down-stream over the four-mile course, starting opposite Red Top, at 6 o'clock, and finishing at the railroad bridge at New London. The race between the Freshman eights will be rowed at 10 o'clock from the railroad bridge to the Navy Yard, a course of two miles. Immediately following this race the University fours will row over the upper two miles of the course, from the Navy Yard...
...afternoon the University eight was taken down-stream in the "John Harvard" to the half-way mark at the Navy Yard.

Wodell at 7 has a poor finish, and Campbell at 4, weighing over 190 pounds, is very awkward. The latter's rowing makes a bad break in the boat. In spite of these faults, the boat seems to travel...
...eight assumed an order which has not changed since. Strong replaced Newton at 6, Newton forcing Sargent out of the boat at 2. Metcalf took Balch's seat at 3. The rest of the crew kept their positions. At New London the crew has continued to improve with each row. On Wednesday, June 15, the eight paddled very easily over four miles in 23 minutes and 25 seconds. Last Monday the eight covered approximately four miles again. The time for the first three miles was 17 minutes flat...
