Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 14, 1908.--On Saturday Coach Wray gave the University eight their second time trial over the course within three days. The crew covered four miles up stream under very favorable conditions in 20 minutes, 45 seconds. The start was easy and the stroke was kept about 30 till the last half-mile was passed, then it was gradually raised until 39 was reached in the last hundred yards. As a whole the crews rowed only fairly well. The time was fast, but strong favoring tide and wind discounted this to a certain extent...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 12, 1908.--The main feature of the practice of the crews today was the race of a mile between the University and Freshman eights this afternoon over the last mile of the course.

Both boats went at a fairly high stroke all the way, the University eight raising it to 38 to the minute on the last few hundred yards. The University crew took the lead at the start and gradually increased...

Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 10, 1908.-Today the University crew as a whole rowed better than it has before this week, although Sargent was not up to his usual standard this afternoon. In the morning after some tubbing work for Fish and Sargent, Wray went out in his single with the University eight-oared crew and covered a couple of miles in easy fashion...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 9, 1908.--All the crews here had comparatively light work today on account of the high wind that kept the water rough. In the morning both eights and the four-oared crews crossed the river and rowed slowly over the first mile of the course, keeping close under the lee of the opposite bank. Coach Wray followed the crews in his single scull...
