...Conn., June 8, 1916.--The University crews spent a disagreeable, rainy morning today in short races in which various boats were tried out. The first eight, rowing in a heavy Davy shell lost two races to the seconds; then the seconds took the heavy shell and the regulars won by a good margin. The difference cannot be blamed entirely on the shells, however, as the crew that wins twice is liable to lose a third race. The idea of the heavy shell is to keep the boat going on the recovery. The crew is now back in a Sims shell...
...morning practice of the Yale crew yesterday one exchange of places was made in the seating of the first shell. Meyer, who has been rowing at 5, was sent to 7, while Sturtevant came down from 7 to 5. In the afternoon another change was made. Hadley, who has been rowing bow on the first eight, was sent to bow on the second crew, while Harriman was placed at bow in the first crew...

There may be something in all this, probably is, but the whole story is by no means accounted for in this way. A great part of the lack of success has been...
...first races Coach Herrick has permitted any of the crews since the first two University boats met Princeton on Lake Carnegie during the spring recess, University C beat B three times and B won from C twice last Saturday. The new eight-oared shell built for the use of the University crews at Ward's shipyard in New Jersey was used for the first time on the river. It proved to be satisfactory in every way. At the Union Boat Club, Coach Herrick had the two crews stop and change shells, giving University B, which had been racing with...
...second Davy eight-oared shell has arrived, and this boat will be used by University A. This shell is a much lighter one than the other Davy shell purchased this year, and will prove more satisfactory for general work...
