...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 of the distance. The first half-mile was covered in 2 minutes and 25 seconds, with the aid of a favoring tide. The boat went very well and the trial was, in the whole, a creditable performance. The Freshman four covered two miles in all. In the morning, the University four went out in the following order: stroke, Forster; 3, Hooper; 2, Sargent; bow, Balch; cox., Voorhees. The two fours rowed down...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 16, 1910.--This morning the University crew paddled leisurely down to the Navy Yard and took the first half-mile of the return stretch at 34 to the minute, covering the distance in 2 minutes and 27 seconds against the tide. The Freshman eight, followed by Coach Wray in a single, covered the same distance in easy stretches...
...Freshman crew rowed over the two-mile course. The University row was not a time trial as a low stroke was continually maintained and the men were paddling easy. The four miles were covered, however, in 23 minutes and 25 seconds, which is good considering the head tide that was running. As a whole the practice was very satisfactory to Coach Wray. The crew was well together, resulting in a powerful stroke with a quick finish. No time was taken for the Freshman eight. A mile race between the University fours was held in which the second crew, stroked...
...point three and one-half miles down-stream to the New London bridge in one stretch. The crew averaged 30 for the first two miles and a half and then Cutler raised the beat as high as 33 for the last half mile. Considering the strong head wind and tide the work of the crew was fairly good and although at times the men did not get the correct proportion throughout the stroke, the tendency to pound at the finish was much less. The crew returned to the boathouse in small stretches having covered about eight miles...
...rowed a clean, hard race. The men used their weight and body swing better than did the Annapolis crew, and showed an abundance of reserve power at the finish. The time was rather poor but this is accounted for by the fact that the race was rowed against the tide, as well as against what wind there was. In a practice trial, the University crew rowed the same course in 10 minutes, 50 seconds...
