Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 11, 1914. This morning all crews went out fon light work-outs. The water was smooth but the heat was intense. This afternoon the boats were not put in the water until about 7.30. The University and second crews went down to the bridge in launches and raced up-stream.

In a few days the candidates will be divided into first and second squads...

Yet it is well nigh impossible to provide for this under any specific rulings without seriously hampering the coherence and smooth working of any joint system. Absence of unilateral stipulations is essential to the success of the scheme...
