...University eights rowed the four mile course down-stream from a point opposite Red Top to the railroad bridge. The start was made at 3.45 P. M. with a favoring tide but a slight head wind. Yale caught the water first and took a slight lead which they held for a short time. Then the University crew rowing a slightly lower stroke began to pick up. Soon after passing the half-mile mark the University eight passed the Yale boat and was not threatened thereafter. Between the mile and the mile and a half flags the Yale crew made...
...June 14, 1913.--The University eight gave a remarkable exhibition of rowing today when it covered the four-mile course with a favoring tide and a very light wind astern in the fast time of 20 minutes, 14 seconds, just 4 seconds behind the record. The crew has been developing rapidly within the last week and has been showing a more complete mastery of the points emphasized by Coach Wray. In the trial the men rowed perfectly together throughout the course and it is to this that the speed may be largely attributed...
...their first time trial over the four-mile course Captain Snowdon's eight made the distance in 21 minutes, 25 seconds. The Conditions of wind and tide were about neutral, although a light wind and tide favored the boat at first. On the following Friday, with a favoring wind and tide, the time was 21 minutes, 17 seconds. The record is 20 minutes, 10 seconds, made in 1888, but any crew which can row the distance in 21 minutes, 30 seconds, is making the average time row. A week ago the University crew covered the four miles in 21 minutes...
...four oars were all given several racing starts in which they were so closely matched that it was impossible to pick a winner. A time row was expected until quite late in the evening when a sudden shift in the wind rendered conditions unfavorable...
Before the preliminaries of the 100-yard dash, the second event of the meet, could be completed, a driving rain and wind storm made running impossible for an hour. The track for the rest of the afternoon was soft and in places covered with large puddles, in spite of which, however, some of the times were very good. In the mile run G. Dougherty of Exeter secured first place in 4 minutes, 37 seconds, which was fast time considering the conditions. C. A. Rice of Powder Point won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes, making the former through...
