...June 21, 1906--The work of all the crews today was rather light, the University eight paddling an easy four miles in the morning, and a three-mile stretch late in the afternoon, when great improvement was shown, the boat keeping on an evener keel than it has for some time, and the men rowing with life and fire. In the afternoon the Freshman eight paddled one and one-half miles in good shape, for all the men pulled hard with a smooth and finished stroke. Three of the Freshman squad, however, E. Cutler, J. Cutler, and Kemp, are still...
...launch Veritas from the University boathouse to the Longwood bridge. There, they took their positions in the shell which had been towed behind the launch. Emmons was first tried at three and rowed down stream in the boat for about three-quarters of a mile.

They are attacked not only by sharks, but by diver's paralysis, a disease which sooner or later seizes almost all of them...

The second crew was rather unsteady owing to the general shift in the order...
