...Shell Book," by Julia E. Rogers...
...Haven Yale was hampered by poor weather and rough water for a long time, and even after going to Gales Ferry there has been considerable complaint on account of rough water. The Yale crew this year is a well-balanced, smooth-moving combination. The men can send their shell along with considerable speed and in New Haven are considered the best crew that Yale has had in a number of years...
...morning on account of the rough water the University eight went a short distance near the shore, but in the afternoon the men covered about five miles accompanied by Coach Wray in his single. The stroke was kept down most of the time, except for one stretch. The shell did not appear to go as badly as might be expected, and it is hoped that within a few days the crew will be rowing well together again. Of course Cutler is considerably lighter than Fish and is not his equal in either strength or endurance...
...afternoon the University four went out with Reece at stroke and Bacon at 2. The shell was taken downstream about two miles and a half in long stretches at a slow stroke in order to help shake the crew together. Both Freshman crews went short distances in the morning, but in the afternoon the eight covered about four miles at a fairly good speed in short stretches. The Freshman four went downstream about two miles and returned...
...fast as last year's eight with the added advantage of a little more weight. Like all of Kennedy's crews, their blade work is extremely smooth and clean and they seem to have good speed. Both eights are stroked by men who have never rowed in a University shell before, but they both have the advantage of veteran oarsmen just behind them at number seven.
