Yale Crews Take Eleven-Mile Row

Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 14, 1910.--After light work up-stream for all the crews this morning. Coach Kennedy sent the university and freshman eights down-stream this afternoon for a long row. The two crews paddled side by side for five and a half miles to a point one mile out in the harbor. The return was taken by both crews in one stretch. For the university eight this is an unusually long row, but for the freshmen it is unprecedented. Coach Kennedy is worried over the freshman eight and gave the crew this long row in order to get the men together and try out their stamina. Neither eight rowed over 30 strokes to the minute for the eleven miles.
