Red Top, Conn., June 11--Taking to the waters of the Thames at 9 o'clock tonight for a time trial, the Harvard University shell-rowed over the four mile course in 22 minutes and 21 seconds.
James Lawrence '29 set a beat of 30 and 31 as the Crimson sweepswingers stroked over the dark river. There was no wind to disturb the surface of the Thames, but a slight tide aided the shell. With a half mile to go, the stroke was raised to 38 for the final sprint. A tug and some barges loomed through the darkness and for the last mile the coxswain was kept busy avoiding the river traffic.
Both eights went out for a short workout in the morning. This afternoon Coach Brown sent his jayvee oarsmen down to the three mile stake. The return trip to the Boat House was made in several easy stages.
Fifteen minutes before the first Harvard boat started upstream on its trial, the Yale crew was sent over the same course for a speed test. No time for this run was taken in the Crimson camp. The performance of the Harvard eight tonight differed only a few seconds from the previous test, but is considerably slower than the 20 minute 43 second clocking of the Leader combination.
