...second boat is scheduled to race the yearling eight tomorrow over the two-mile course on which the second and Freshman races with Yale will be held on June 24. The race will be in the morning and under the same conditions of tide as the races against the Elis and should therefore prove a good test of power for both crews. The Junior boat has improved immensely of late and the Freshmen have retained their old power and speed...
...Coach Howe gave his men their second hard row since their arrival at Red Top. The yearlings were paced for a half mile this afternoon by a combination eight and finished a length and a quarter ahead with a record of two minutes and 35 seconds against the tide but with a favoring wind. The showing of the new combination crew is very satisfactory...
This afternoon the two crews went downstream over the four-mile course against the wind and tide.

Both crews came in with...

Not since the prevalence of infantile paralysis more than four years ago, or possibly the more recent epidemic of influenza, has the country been menaced with any malady so dangerous to our national health. So critical has the situation become that the United States Public Health Service has been forced to impose stringent sanitary regulations on immigrants; and Italy, by closing her frontiers, has temporarily suspended emigration from Central Europe to the United States...
