...practice. When the oarsmen went to Lynn for their first out-door work it was found that Talcott at three was better than Cabot at number 7 and so the two changed places. This was found satisfactory and the stayed thus for some time. In the beginning of April weather conditions favored their returning to the river and this they did, holding regular practice until they went down to race the Princeton oarsmen in the Easter vacation. In one of the closest races seen in this country, as Professor Noyes put it: "A most extraordinary race," they lost...
...Yale rowing season began last fall with the regular practice of two university boats, which continued until cold weather set in. Contrary to former years no fall races were held, and the entire time was spent on conditioning the men. Spring practice opened with full blast in February, when indoor work was commenced for the university and freshman squads. The size of the university squad was about the same as usual, but a greater number of freshman candidates reported than ever before. Weather conditions were the poorest of all years this season, and the indoor work was continued until April...
...pair-oar work with E. W. Soucy '16, so it is expected that Middendorf will be back at his regular place in the first crew tomorrow. K. B. G.

The weather is so decidedly bad that all oarsmen have been provided with rubber boots, and in case the mud and water increase, web feet may be developed or applied...
...Yale crews were occupied with regulation spins today. The first eight started over the mile course, but stopped just before the finish. The time was about 2 minutes, 40 seconds, which even with the present weather conditions is very poor. There seems to be a bad check in this Yale shell, which Coach Nichalls is doing his best to remedy. McLane, the experienced Yale coxswain, today lost his plac to Lasher, and the only assignable reason is that McLane has become too corpulent to hold down his job at the extreme stern...
...first official time trial of the first University crew was made yesterday, when under ideal weather conditions with an ebb tide of about two hours and a following wind of ten knots, four miles were covered in 19 minutes, 43 seconds, which beats the Yale time by over a minute. The second University paced Crew A over the first two miles and nosed out a victory, but C. C. Lund '16 was saving his men for the last half, as the Freshmen were waiting to give them a race over the last lap. The 1919 boat was going along...
