...Conn., June 14, 1916.--The absence of H. S. Middendorf '16 is still greatly noticed in the first crew, but today almost all signs of the check had disappeared. The second crew likewise is making rapid improvements in keeping a decent form at a low stroke. In addition to Middendorf's illness, another bit of hard luck hit the University camp today when C. W. Greenough '19 was forced to go home for the rest of the season with tonsilitis. J. F. Linder '19, who also left a few days ago because of sickness, is not expected back, and these...
Rain only visited the practice of the University and Freshman crews once today, this being in the morning, when University A practiced starts from the quarters up to the Navy Yard and then rowed back at a stroke of 26 to Gales Ferry, and home again at 28. Coach Herrick gave his undivided attention in the morning to the second crew, using the "new Pup" in coaching up and down the mile course. Coach Haines accompanied the Freshmen...
Practice for the afternoon consisted of a two-mile row for University A in stretches, the stroke varying from 27 to 30.

...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...
