Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 17, 1910.--Light work was the order today for all the crews in both the morning and afternoon work-outs. The University crew tried out the old shell again in the morning, paddling easily down to the Navy Yard and back. Later the new shell was used for a short stretch. The Freshman eight paddled over the last two miles of the course, from Red Top to the Navy Yard at a fast clip. The crew started off at 35 to the minute and rowed about 32 for the remainder...
...University crew paddled downstream a short distance beyond the half-way mark this afternoon in one stretch. The return to the boathouse was rowed without a stop. The crew shoved the shell ahead well on its keel and without any perceptible checking between strokes, although slight individual faults were noticeable. Metcalf at 3 did not bury his blade enough in the water, Withington at 4 failed to use his shoulders to the best advantage on the swing, and Waid was ahead of Cutler on the first part of the recovery. Coach Wray warned the men not to pull hard...
...afternoon Bacon was in his old seat at 5, and Waid was at 7. With the return of Bacon the eight becomes intact, and it is likely that this will be the order in which the crew will race Yale. For the afternoon work the new English shell was taken out in place of the Bacon shell. After tomorrow morning's practice, if the new boat comes up to expectations, the old boat will be given to the Freshmen. Another change took place this afternoon in the University fours, Waite taking Sargent's place as stroke of the first four...
...Metcalf went back to 3 again, after being tried yesterday at 7. In this order the eight rowed up-stream in easy stretches to the head of the long straight-away above the Stillman Infirmary. The work of the crew proved the most satisfactory of the week. The shell boat was steadier and spaced out a greater distance than under the changed order of the two preceding days. With Cutler at stroke the men individually seemed to use their strength to greater advantage, employing a longer stroke than with Sargent...
Before going out for the practice in the regular shell, the crew launched the new English boat for a short paddle. Owing to the fact that this boat is trimmed one inch farther aft than the old shell, it floated the eight somewhat higher and did not settle quite so far at the end of the stroke. The order of the day was: stroke, Cutler; 7, Bacon; 6, Newton; 5, Waid; 4, Withington; 3, Metcalf; 2, Sargent; bow, Whitney; cox., King...
