Cutler had been stroking the University four-oared crew and with both him and Morgan out of the boat today a whole new port side was necessary. In order to select the men for these two places the crew was sent down into Kimball's Cove this morning, and F. A. Reece '09, and G. G. Bacon '08, tried at stroke, and S. A. Fahnestock '08, R. S. Lovering '08, and Bacon at 2. Coach Wray superintended the work from the rail road embankment...
...work for all the crews was light today. In the 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...
...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...
...were favored by both wind and tide. The boat went well and the men rowed together in clean form. The 1911 four-oar rowed a half-mile up-stream just before the Freshman eight in good time. This crew has developed the ability to travel well with a fast stroke, with but little washing out or splashing...
...Ferry, and the Yale crew appears to be fully as 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. There are more men of experience in the University boat than in Yale's, but the advantage is extremely small, as Yale...
