...rough water occasioned by an ebbing tide and a south wind. They rowed out in the current on the way back to the quarters. Filley maintained throughout the practice the slowest stroke he has used this year, paddling along at 26 and 27 strokes to the minute. The shell was on an even keel all the time and the men rowed in clean form...
...stream this afternoon over the four-mile course. No announcement of the time, however, was made. Although a strong head wind was blowing the crew as a whole kept well together and spaced consistently. Morgan, at 3, rowed in better form than he has ever shown in the University shell...
...practice yesterday the University crew entered the shell from the launch below the Longwood bridge, paddled down stream to a point a few hundred yards below Harvard bridge and back to the boathouse. The men put more life into the work than has been seen for some time past, and there was no loss of drive or shortening of the stroke. Morgan, however, was rather short on his slide, but his work on the whole was creditable, considering the fact that yesterday was only his second trial in the position, and that he has been shifted to the starboard side...
...Yale crews were given a half-hour's practice yesterday morning and were again sent out at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The freshmen started from the float first, and rowed well together, keeping the shell on an even keel and not shipping any water. After going to the Navy Yard the freshman crew returned to the float. Their stroke on the return was marked by ragged blade work, although a flood tide gave them considerable assistance...
...good clean cut stroke, which was soon raised to 28 and held there. Defects were occasionally noticed in the body work, but in the main the men rowed well and seemed to have great reserve power in the stroke. They were given six miles in all, and throughout their shell ran smoothly, shipping very little water. As no attempt has been made to time the work of the university eight, it is impossible to ascertain as yet its exact speed over the four-mile course...
