Red Top, June 13, 1906.--All the Harvard crews had light work today. In the morning the University eight rowed down stream at an easy pace for about 1 1-4 miles. The water was a little rough and Filley kept the stroke at 28, only raising it once for a few strokes.
In the afternoon the crew left the float at 5.50 o'clock and went down stream for about two miles, keeping close to the east shore in order to avoid the rough water occasioned by an ebbing tide and a south wind. They rowed out in the current on the way back to the quarters. Filley maintained throughout the practice the slowest stroke he has used this year, paddling along at 26 and 27 strokes to the minute. The shell was on an even keel all the time and the men rowed in clean form.
Changes were made in the Freshman eight both this morning and this afternoon. In the morning Crandall, who had been rowing No. 2 since April 30, was moved to 4, where he rowed early in the season. Cutler, who has been at 2 in the Freshman four-oar, went into the corresponding position on the eight. Mulligan was moved from 4 in the eight to 2 in the four-oar. E. Cutler was replaced by Butler, a substitute, in the middle of the afternoon row. The crew rowed down stream both morning and afternoon, going about four miles each time. The shell was somewhat unsteady in the morning, but settled down in the afternoon. The men are in good condition and rowed a lively stroke.
The work of the University and Freshman four-oar crews was similar to that of the eights this afternoon, but in the morning they raced a mile. The University four won by three lengths, but the Freshmen were in the rougher water and carried Perry, the Freshman manager, as coxswain. E. C. Storrow, '89, watched the work from the "John Harvard."
