While the afternoon's work was naturally harder than that in the morning still it was very light. The University eight went out about 5.15 o'clock and was followed down-stream to the mile and one-half mark by the University four. The eight rowed in very short stretches about 30 strokes to the minute, and Coach Wray followed in his single scull, coaching the men on their individual faults. L. Withington at 5 does not seem to get his shoulders on very well at the catch, and Lunt's finish is not yet satisfactory. The whole crew...
...excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The University four followed the eight down-stream and back, and the second four took a light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went out at about 6 o'clock. The water was almost calm. The University...
...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. Forster '11, who has been rowing bow in the second four, took his place, and in spite of the change, the boat went even better that it did in the morning. Before the University crew went out in the evening, Captains Cutler and Howe, together with F. V. Chappell, chairman of the regatta committee, decided...
...last month Sargent's work has apparently not been satisfactory to Coach Wray. His rowing is short and in the last mile and a half of last evening's time row he was late in his work and the boat was practically stroked by Waid at 7. Sargent seems to have lost his life and the rhythmic beat which was so characteristic of his work last year. If the rowing tomorrow shows that Cutler is able to row a long high stroke and hold it for a long distance, the change in all probability will remain. Cutler's work last...
...crews this morning was very light as a strong northwest wind was blowing. The two eights and fours went across to the west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course. The University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream to about...
