WARM WEATHER GIVES CREWS FIRST FULL DAY

EXAMINATIONS BEING TAKEN BY SQUAD MEMBERS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Red Top, Conn., June 2--The second full day of practice for the Harvard crews today was much more strenuous, with all four eights getting stiff workouts. The weather was clear and warmer and Coaches Whiteside and Haines wasted no time in getting their men down to the real work.

All four boats rowed twice today, late in the morning and in the evening. Men who had to take examinations took them in the early morning. Before luncheon Coach Whiteside took the University and Jayvee crews for a six mile paddle at a low stroke. He made no lineup changes but dealt out plenty of individual instruction to the men as they went along.

The afternoon brush for the two University crews consisted of a long row down to the railroad bridge in New London, a distance of approximately eight miles, making the total distance covered by the crews during the day some fourteen miles.

The Freshman and combination eights went together, as usual under the guidance of Coach Haines and took two drills of about three miles each. Both crews rowed smoothly and at a fairly low stroke, except for a few starts. The University and Jayvee shells also got in a few fast sprints during the afternoon brush.

Life at the camp is proceeding under ideal conditions now that the men have become acquainted with the intricacies of changing back and forth from day light to standard time. The Seniors without examinations are leading an envious life. The radio keeps going all day and time spent waiting for the wind to abate is always spent in playing ping pong or salvo.
