The University crew took a long row of about eight miles yesterday afternoon on the Charles River. Leaving the Newell boathouse, the crew rowed in short stretches to the Water town Arsenal. Here, they turned around and in one stretch rowed to the Cottage Farm Bridge, a distance of about four miles. The work of the crew was very good, the men rowing in good form and keeping together well. From the Cottage Farm Bridge, the crew rowed back to the Newell boathouse practically without resting and using a high stroke at the turn just before the Weld boathouse and just after the Boylston Street Bridge.
Kempton coxed the University crew, as King, the regular coxswain, was ill. Coach Wray rowed at 2 for several short stretches at the start to find out how the men pulled and how the boat acted under their power. Then he got into the launch and Sargent took his place.
The order of the crew as it rowed yesterday was: stroke, Cutler; 7, Waid; 6, Newton; 5, Bacon; 4, Withington; 3, Balch; 2, Sargent; bow, Whitney; cox., Kempton.
