Practice yesterday was light as each crew went up-stream only as far as the first bridge, and took short stretches to keep with Coach Wray, who accompanied the boats in a single. He spent most of his time coaching the men to keep length in their strokes when rowing fast, where the tendency in most boats is to chop the strokes short and rush the slide back, thus losing much power...

With good weather, this work can easily be finished in a week, and in any case, two weeks will suffice for its completion...
