Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 15, 1914. -- In the morning weather conditions were not promising. The sky was overcast, the wind blowing from the southwest, and altogether prospects were discouraging. Shortly before rowing time, however, the sun broke through the clouds and the wind moderated. The morning row consisted of a three-mile paddle, Wray coaching from the launch. In the afternoon he took Captain Brown's place in the Freshman eight for a few moments to make the men get a harder catch. The Henley or second crew rowed two miles at a high stroke. The University rowed four miles from the bridge up, the unofficial time being 23 minutes, 30 seconds. Wray was well pleased with the time. All the crews, the Freshman in particular, have improved wonderfully since arriving at Red Top. The shift of Murray and Soucy in the first boat appears to have benefited the eight considerably.
