The work for the University crew this week has consisted mainly of short stretches at a higher stroke in preparation for the Annapolis race. Wednesday was devoted to practicing racing starts; and on Thursday the first and second crews had a two-mile race. The water was so rough, however, that satisfactory work was almost impossible. A stroke of 30 was maintained for most of the distance, but the men were still inclined to rush the slides and cut the finish; and when the stroke was raised there was a pronounced tendency to kick the slides away and shorten the stroke. Next week a still higher stroke will be attempted; and the crew will leave on the Federal Express Thursday evening for Annapolis, where it will complete the training for the race on April 22. In the second crew J. W. Cutler replaced Reece at stroke yesterday. The order of the Freshman crew was changed considerably this week, and a slight improvement has been made. Yesterday there was a mile race between the first and second crews, in which the second held the first to a length at the finish. The rowing was for the most part smooth, but when the stroke was put up at the finish the boat went to pieces badly.
