...CONN., June 18.--This morning the first and second University eights held a time trial over the two-mile course. Conditions were very favorable, as there was a strong ebb tide and a northeast wind which quartered the downstream course. The shells were lined up in front of the Red Top boathouse and were started by Coach Haines. They rowed very nearly even during the whole distance, but in the last eighth mile the first crew gave a remarkable exhibition of driving ability. The eights had been rowing at about 29 strokes to the minute, practically even, and in this...
...advantageous position to watch the Yale crews in action at close hand. The Blue oarsmen rowed a long slow stroke at about 30 to the minute, raising it at the end of the stretch to 36. The conditions of the water were excellent, as there was neither wind nor tide to interfere with the course of the row. The time, as given out by Yale headquarters at Gales Ferry was 21 minutes and 33 seconds, a less satisfactory result than the trial of a few days past...
...first eight held its second time trial over the four-mile course against the tide this afternoon. The course was not covered at exceptional speed, the time being between 21 and 22 minutes. This is faster than the first trial held on Friday, and shows improvement. As before, the second crew paced for the first two miles, while the 1923 oarsmen took up the stroke during the last half of the stretch. The second boat ended up even with the University eight, but the Freshmen were left two lengths behind at the finish of the second two miles. The yearlings...
...Yale first crew held a very successful time trial over the four mile course on the Thames, covering the course in 20 minutes and 40 seconds, nearly the record for the course. Conditions were excellent, a northwest wind helping the shell considerably. In addition, there was a strong tide which favored the boat. The second Eli crew paced the first eight for the first two-mile stretch, the yearlings replacing them over the last half of the course...
There is a very distinct tide in the affairs of Yale and Harvard men at the New London Regatta on June 25th. The usual dreary wait at the start will this year be complicated by uncertainly as to whether the upstream or downstream course will be rowed. Ideal weather conditions will permit the race to start on time (5 o'clock) over the upstream course, Rough water will necessitate a postponement until 7, owing to the turn of the tide at about 6, and also a reversal of the course. The confusion of time necessitated by daylight saving adds...
