Annapolis, April 15, 1910.--The Harvard crew arrived here today at 12 o'clock and immediately took a short row before lunch, practicing three racing starts which went very well. In the afternoon the crew paddled over the inside course. The work was very encouraging and the crew continued the steady improvement shown in Cambridge early in the week, getting a better proportion throughout the stroke, and quickening the catch. Owing to the change from fresh to salt water all the riggers in the new shell had to be lowered. Coach Wray followed the work in a single, the weather...

The Freshman crew will row the last mile of the course...

Withington, who had been rowing at 4 last week, was absent from Cambridge the first four days of this week. Metcalf, who had been at 3, was out of the boat all week for the same reason. Balch had been tried out last Saturday at bow and had done well but was also unable to row...
