Practice this morning consisted of a short paddle for the first eight and a trip to the Navy Yard and back for the second and 1919 shells. This afternoon the second and Freshman crews repeated their morning dose of practice, while Crew A went on an eight-mile paddle to the New London railroad bridge and back. The cruise down-stream was made in two stretches with the stroke usually low but often being raised to between 32 and 34. One solid row, however, constituted the return and no attempt was made at time, but this was merely considered...
...Atkins is also lost to the first crew for the remainder of the season, since strained chest muscles are giving him some trouble. Munson will replace him. In the Freshman crew Page is out temporarily with illness, and his position is being filled by Enders. All the Yale crews went on long paddles both in morning and afternoon, and no attempts were made at fast time. The Freshman boat looks decidedly fast, and the appearance of this crew is causing the University Freshmen to redouble their efforts...
...whose name is now attached to the professorial chair occupied by Professor McAdie. Samuel Gilman, always a somewhat obscure though memorable figure, is described by Mr. H. W. Foote '97.

This morning University A went for a three-mile paddle, while the second and Freshman crews did but half that distance. No strenuous work was attempted, and all crews merely tried to get back in shape after their rest over Sunday...
...afternoon the Yale freshmen went down-stream for a two-mile time trial, after being passed by a scrub eight for two miles. The time made was 10 minutes, 6 seconds, but the wash was very heavy from the launches following, and with all conditions considered, the time was creditable. The members of the first Yale crew received rather luxurious treatment after their afternoon work-out, for a rub-down and a bath was presented them on "The While-away," after which ceremony the trusty "Elihu Yale" took them back to the quarters
