BOTH CREWS ROWING WELL

Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, New London, Conn., June 11, 1912.--A warm day with a light breeze on the water gave the crews the first ideal conditions for rowing that they have had since arriving here. The morning work consisted of a mile and a half row, the University eight rowing 28 strokes to the minute, and the Freshman about two points higher. The latter had gained almost a length at the mile and a quarter mark when both crews raised the stroke above thirty and the University pulled ahead with half a length to spare.

University and Freshman Crews Working Better.

About six o'clock all the crews went out again, the two eights paddling down stream three miles, and on the return were given a mile race. The Freshmen rowed a slightly higher stroke and gained the lead only to lose it a quarter mile from the boathouse, when both crews raised the stroke to 35. Both eights are going very well at present, the Freshmen in particular are showing fine form as compared with past Freshman crews. The rhythm and time of the University crew are much improved and the fault of clipping the catch at a high stroke has been to a large extent eliminated.
