YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 10, 1907.--This morning the university eight-oared crew was sent over the upper half-mile of the course at a racing clip. Although the men showed good form, the time was not quite satisfactory. In the four-oar, Griswold and Robbins were interchanged, the former going in at stroke, and the latter being moved to No. 2. Hunt was given a place in the freshman eight, and the two substitutes, Hyde and Brown, were dismissed...
...work of the crews during the past week has been very satisfactory. All the boats have improved rapidly, and the races this afternoon promise to be very close. The general tendencies to wash out and clip the stroke at the finish are much less noticeable. All the men have been reporting regularly and the coaches have had a better opportunity to get the men swinging together. The Randolph and Westmorly crews have been doing promising work and should make a good showing...
...there has been a general improvement. Up to this time the second crew, composed of last year's Freshman eight, has shown the better form. The men are swinging fairly well together but are not getting enough power from their leg drive. Farley's boat has a tendency to clip the stroke at the finish and several of the men are not catching the water quick enough. Yesterday, the two crews rowed upstream almost to the Brighton bridge and back to the University Boat House in easy stretches. Toward the latter part of next week, there will be a race...
...work of the crews during the past week has been very satisfactory. All the boats have improved rapidly and the races this afternoon promise to be very close. Most of the crews still have a tendency to rush the slides and to clip the stroke at the finish, but the coaches have done a great deal to correct these faults...
...practice of the Dormitory crews during the past week has been most satisfactory among these that report regularly. Though the same faults that have characterized all the work so far, namely, a tendency to rush the slides, and clip the stroke at the finish, are still evident, great improvement has been made in this direction, and the coaches expect that in another week the crews will be in good condition for the race. Special attention has been given to starting, as in a bumping race much depends on a quick start...
