The University crews rowed yesterday with orders unchanged from those of last week. Work was, for the most part, light, and the coaching was directed towards getting a firm catch and a continuous stroke. During the first part of the practice both crews, especially the first, showed a tendency to delay the stroke at the catch and at the beginning of the recover, but later in the afternoon this difficulty was somewhat obviated. In a number of brushes, varying in length from half a mile to a mile, neither crew was able to gain much of a lead; at one time, however, the second took a spurt at the end of which it led by almost half a length. At other times both eights rowed about 28 strokes to the minute.
