Practice for the afternoon consisted of a two-mile row for University A in stretches, the stroke varying from 27 to 30. At the end of the last stretch the second crew was waiting to give the first a brush down-stream, and both crews started off rowing 40 strokes to the minute. The stroke was soon dropped to 36 and then to 38, and at the half-mile University A had a half-length's lead. Upon passing the mile mark both crews again dropped their stroke. There the Freshmen were waiting, and the 1919 shell, starting a length...
...eight and a trip to the Navy Yard and back for the second and 1919 shells. This afternoon the second and Freshman crews repeated their morning dose of practice, while Crew A went on an eight-mile paddle to the New London railroad bridge and back. The cruise down-stream was made in two stretches with the stroke usually low but often being raised to between 32 and 34. One solid row, however, constituted the return and no attempt was made at time, but this was merely considered a conditioning...
...Yale crews today also had a vacation, taking passage on the yachts "Lavarona" and "Margaret" and spending the day in cruising about. The Yale university crew yesterday did a mile down-stream in 4 minutes, 44 3-5 seconds, and appeared to be under no strain, although the new combination on this eight has not yet come into the harmony which will be necessary before June...
...afternoon Coaches Herrick and Haines gave all their time to the first eight which, with a favorable tide and a moderately favorable wind, rowed the two-mile course up-stream. The stroke was picked up rapidly at the beginning, 34 being the average, but after the first half-mile Lund steadied it down to between 28 and 30. The first crew looked exceptionally well today, for all eight men were rowing smoothly and the coaches were considerably impressed...
...afternoon the Yale freshmen went down-stream for a two-mile time trial, after being passed by a scrub eight for two miles. The time made was 10 minutes, 6 seconds, but the wash was very heavy from the launches following, and with all conditions considered, the time was creditable. The members of the first Yale crew received rather luxurious treatment after their afternoon work-out, for a rub-down and a bath was presented them on "The While-away," after which ceremony the trusty "Elihu Yale" took them back to the quarters
