Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 22, 1909.--As the weather continues to be very hot, the crews had light work again this morning. The University eight went down-stream to the mile mark and back in easy stretches. The boat went very well and spaced out beautifully on a perfectly even keel; the finish was hard and the catch quick and there was plenty of life in the boat. All the crews did about the same work as the University eight, the Freshman crew also rowing very well. R. F. Hoopel 11 returned to the quarters early this...
...afternoon the University crew paddled down-stream about two and three quarters miles. The work of the eight was not so good as in the morning, in that the slide work was erratic at times and the boat did not keep on a very even keel. Lunt at 2 and Cutler at bow were slightly off form. The Freshman eight covered about four miles in all. One racing start was tried which went very well, but this crew also lacked the good form which it showed in the morning. The University four rowed down to the railroad bridge and back...
...three-mile flag and back. A stroke of 28 was maintained all the way until the last stretch before the boathouse, when it was raised as high as 42. Although the slide work was poor at times the crew went very well, and on the row home the boat moved along especially smoothly. A change was made in the Freshman eight in the afternoon, Voorhees of the four replacing Faxon as coxswain. This crew went over the two-mile course up-stream, but was not timed. A racing start was tried, the crew going off at 38, and then...
...crew has done since its arrival here, and there is now no doubt that the present order will be permanent. Cutler's stroke was long and well timed, with the result that all the men behind him rowed a longer stroke, the slides were well controlled, and the boat moved along with hardly a check between strokes. P. Withington at 6 fitted in well and finished in good condition. It the crew continues to improve as indicated by yesterday's work, it seems very likely that the change will benefit the crew in spite of its late date...
...University eight covered about four miles in all. There was another change made in the University four, Sargent replacing Hooper at stroke. Hooper was shifted to 2, and Waite returned to stroke of the second four. The University four went exceedingly well, Sargent's work at stroke in this boat being of great value. In the afternoon the Freshman eight went over the two-mile course up-stream. No time was taken. A low stroke was maintained, except for occasional short spurts. The boat went fairly well, but the men were inclined to lose their rhythm at a high stroke...
