Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 16.--The second University four defeated the Yale second four by four lengths over a mile course yesterday afternoon. The time was 5 minutes, 22 seconds, with fair wind and tide. The Harvard crew jumped into the lead, rowing a higher stroke, and was never headed...

After crossing the river to get out of the high westerly wind that was blowing, Coach Wray sent the two eights down to the three mile mark in half mile stretches.

Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 7, 1912.--The University eight was given an easy time row over the full course here this afternoon, doing the four miles in 21 minutes and 22 seconds with a favoring wind and tide.

The University and Freshman crews were given only one or two racing starts and sent in to the boathouse. The four-oars, however, were matched in two brushes, both of which were won by the University crew. When tried out against the eight in a start, the University four got away a little the faster, rowing splendidly at a high stroke...
