Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 15, 1910.--This morning the University eight went down-stream for a two-mile paddle, accompanied by Coach Wray in a single. Special attention was given to the finish of the stroke. The Freshman eight paddled down to Cow Point and back with Sullivan in place of Weston at 2. This position seems to be the only unsettled one in the 1913 boat, with the choice lying between Chadwick, Weston, and Sullivan. Several combinations were tried in the University fours, but nothing like a final selection has as yet been made...
...University eight paddled down to the Navy Yard. Coach Wray was again at 5, as Bacon did not arrive until 1 o'clock. After a tryout of Waite, Smith, and Forster for 2 in the University four, Forster was selected, and the crew paddled down-stream. Waite then went to stroke of the second four with Loring at 3, Smith at 2, and Wiggins at bow. Both fours covered about four miles.

...result of the poor work of the University four in the morning a shake-up followed in the afternoon. Hooper went in at 3, Balch going to bow, while Forster was shifted to 2. In this order the crew showed much improvement. Waite went in at stroke of the second four, Smith being shifted to 3. Both crews covered something over four miles. Manager J. E. Thayer '10, R. F. Herrick '90, chairman of the advisory rowing committee, and Dr. W. E. Ladd '02, arrived here today. Dr. Ladd will remain at the quarters till after the race as medical...
