Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top. New London, Conn., June 10, 1912.--The University eight was given a hard workout this afternoon. The crew paddled down to the three-mile flag in company with the Freshman eight. On the return they were given three fast stretches, working the stroke up gradually on each, the University crew getting it up beyond forty, the Freshmen reaching several points higher. The encouraging feature of the practice was that the men held the stroke longer than they have done previously, although the stroke was the highest they have reached since coming here. The University four...

The Freshmen throughout rowed two points higher than the Varsity. At the mile and a half flag they were about a length behind. Then Coach Wray ordered them to spurt.

...this afternoon and went over the course in 20 minutes, 26 seconds, the fastest time made in the last four years. Starting opposite Red Top with the Freshman crew, at a stroke of 36 to the minute, the latter were quickly dropped a length behind. At the half-mile flag the stroke had been lowered to 32 and at the mile to 30, which was maintained until the three-mile mark was reached. The Freshman eight finished three lengths in the rear at the Navy Yard. At the three-mile mark extremely rough water was encountered, which had forced...
