A pair of Yale University freshman rowing crews appears here, one a four-oared boat and the other an eight-oared shell, as the "4 & 8" in the title suggests. Yale's crews, racing on the Thames River at New London, Connecticut, were among the best-known college rowing programs in the United States, and freshman boats served as the training ground for future varsity oarsmen. The photograph comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the specific race and date should be confirmed before citing.
