HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 12, 1907.--The main feature of the crew practice here today was the decided shake-up in the University four-oar during the afternoon practice. The boat started about 5.15 o'clock with G. Bacon stroking instead of Lunt. After a mile C. Morgan replaced Amberg at number 3. In a short while Lunt was put in Swaim's place at number 2, and later Burchard replaced Wiggins at bow. The four-oar has not been doing satisfactory work, and Coach Wray has been paying especial attention to it. More changes are likely...
...easy stretches. The river was rough and much water was shipped. In the afternoon the men rowed downstream to the railroad bridge in short stretches and returned up the four-mile course without a stop. No time was taken as the stroke was kept slow all the way. The boat spaced well between strokes and followed the stroke regularly.

The Freshmen boat travelled well and both crews finished in good condition...
...mile race yesterday the crews were given easy work today. In the morning the university and freshman eights took short spins rowing at easy stretches. The university and freshman four-oared crews had a one and a half-mile race. Though the freshmen were given one and a half boat lengths' handicap they were defeated by four lengths. A high wind and consequent rough water prevented any further practice in the morning...
...Freshman crew had light work this morning also. Vogel replaced Buxton at No. 4, as the latter is out of condition, but will probably be back in the boat soon. Coach Gill coxswained the Freshman four-oar. All the men are in good condition, except Buxton and Adams, the Freshman coxswain. R. Kinnicutt '02 accompanied the crew here today as medical adviser, instead of T. J. Manahan '96, who, however, is expected to arrive in another week...
...conditions were favorable, and a good pace was maintained. As they passed, the "John Harvard" stopped to give the men a chance to see the Yale oarsmen at work. The crew was taken back to quarters in the "Elihu Yale." Both the four-oars did light work, the university boat taking a two-mile...
