...morning weather conditions were not promising. The sky was overcast, the wind blowing from the southwest, and altogether prospects were discouraging. Shortly before rowing time, however, the sun broke through the clouds and the wind moderated. The morning row consisted of a three-mile paddle, Wray coaching from the launch. In the afternoon he took Captain Brown's place in the Freshman eight for a few moments to make the men get a harder catch. The Henley or second crew rowed two miles at a high stroke. The University rowed four miles from the bridge up, the unofficial time being...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 14, 1914. A shift was made in the University eight Saturday morning, Murray going to seven and Soucy to three.

This time the Freshmen had several...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 3, 1914.--Practice for all the crews was light today. Coach Wray took the men out for the regular morning work in the pair oar. This was followed by an easy four-mile paddle for all crews. In the afternoon the three eights again paddled over the upper course of two miles. Coach Wray took the University and Freshman boats together, the second following under Mr. Herrick. The coaches are giving special attention to eliminating all roughness from the catch...
