...HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 19, 1907.--This morning the University eight went over the course for its second time row, covering the four miles upstream in 21 minutes and 23 seconds, the fastest time, that has been made this year. Yale's best time was 22 minutes and 11 seconds, made about a week ago. The crew started this morning under very fair conditions, with a favoring wind and tide, but the tide was went for the first two miles. As the work came just at noon, the men were somewhat oppressed by the heat since they...
...HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 18, 1907.--The most important event in the crew practice here today was another change in the University four-oar, Burchard being substituted for Amberg at 3 in the afternoon work.

After the change in the afternoon, the crew went only...

In the latter part of the afternoon a gentleman's four, made up from the Yale graduates, raced one composed of Harvard graduates, and won by a length in a quarter-mile race. The university crew went downstream two miles and back, accompanied by Coach Kennedy...
...attempt was made to speed, much attention being paid to the form of the men. The freshman crew was taken upstream two miles and practiced starts and slowing into the regular stroke. The university and freshman four-oars raced a mile downstream, late this afternoon, and the university four won by two lengths. There were no changes in the boating of any of the crews today...
