...prospects for a strong University crew next year are very bright, as the eight will lose only three men by graduation. J. E. Waid '10, E. C. Bacon '10, and R. Whitney '11, who is taking a three-year course, will leave College. McG. A. King '10, coxswain, will also graduate this spring. To fill the three places left vacant in the eight there are several promising men in the University fours, among whom the most prominent are R. F. Hooper '11 and G. H. Balch '12. The material coming from the Freshman eight is only fair, with the exception...
...these first three miles was exactly 17 minutes. During this stretch the shell did not seem well on her keel at the catch and the slide-work was unsteady. At times Withington at 4 and Hooper at 5 did not bury their blades deep enough into the water, and Waid at 7 was slow in dropping his oar in at the catch. At the three-mile point the stroke was raised to 36 and the crew began to work very hard for the next half-mile. Here the whole boat showed great improvement, the time for the half-mile stretch...
...shoved the shell ahead well on its keel and without any perceptible checking between strokes, although slight individual faults were noticeable. Metcalf at 3 did not bury his blade enough in the water, Withington at 4 failed to use his shoulders to the best advantage on the swing, and Waid was ahead of Cutler on the first part of the recovery. Coach Wray warned the men not to pull hard, as the eight has had heavy work this week and a hard time trial is due on Saturday...
...afternoon Bacon was in his old seat at 5, and Waid was at 7. With the return of Bacon the eight becomes intact, and it is likely that this will be the order in which the crew will race Yale. For the afternoon work the new English shell was taken out in place of the Bacon shell. After tomorrow morning's practice, if the new boat comes up to expectations, the old boat will be given to the Freshmen. Another change took place this afternoon in the University fours, Waite taking Sargent's place as stroke of the first four...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 13, 1910.--This morning the University and Freshman eights and fours held their first work-out on the Thames. The University crew paddled down to the Navy Yard and back in short stretches, Waid rowing at 7 and Coach Wray at 5 in the absence of Bacon, who will arrive tomorrow in time for the afternoon row. The University four covered the same distance as the eight. The Freshman eight and four and second University four covered about one mile. Moffat who rowed 7 in the Freshman boat in the Cornell...
