...form of exercise would do well to come out and take part in these runs. Even if they do not make the team this fall their chances for the spring will be greatly improved. No man need feel that the work will be too hard, as a fast and slow squad will be formed when the runs become longer. At first they will be not more than two or three miles and will be slow enough...
...whole the linemen covered their ground and worked together, much better than in the scrimmages of the past week. Of the guards McFadon did some good work, but Pierce was somewhat, too aggressive. The ends were rather slow in getting down the field, but O'Brien secured two good tackles, and both Hall and Grant made a creditable showing. As Starr received a slight injury to his ankle on Thursday, Newhall was tried at quarterback and ran the team well...

...London, Conn., June 12, 1905.--The University crews arrived here safely this afternoon. Upon its arrival the eight rowed to the Navy Yard in short stretches at a slow stroke. The men rowed more smoothly and had better control on the recovery. The four-oar was sent upstream for a mile, and pulled a snappy stroke well together. A great improvement has been made in the quarters, with the addition of a large new dining hall and kitchen. The crews are housed in separate buildings...
