CREW IN FAST TIME TRIAL

Red Top, June 14, 1913.--The University eight gave a remarkable exhibition of rowing today when it covered the four-mile course with a favoring tide and a very light wind astern in the fast time of 20 minutes, 14 seconds, just 4 seconds behind the record. The crew has been developing rapidly within the last week and has been showing a more complete mastery of the points emphasized by Coach Wray. In the trial the men rowed perfectly together throughout the course and it is to this that the speed may be largely attributed.

The crew left the mark rowing at 35 strokes to the minute, but dropped the beat to 30 within a quarter of a mile. This pace was maintained for two miles when it was raised about a point. The time for the first mile was 5 minutes, 5 seconds, and for the two miles 10 minutes, 15 seconds. The third mile was covered in 5 minutes flat. At the three-mile flag the stroke was again raised a point and at the three and a half mile mark it was sent up to 34, gradually working up to about 37. This last mile was a splendid exhibition of rowing and was covered in slightly less than 5 minutes. Pirnie has been obliged to leave the squad, suffering from an attack of boils
