...HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 14, 1907.--The University crew had its first time trial over the four-mile course late this afternoon, covering the distance in 22 minutes and 46 seconds. There was a slightly favoring tide; but Blagden steered a poor course, losing the force of the tide by not staying near enough to the channel. At about 7.15 o'clock the men went in the launch downstream as far as the New London railroad bridge. The crew got away with a good start and rowed about 32 strokes per minute for the first half-mile...
...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...
Despite the very hard row yesterday, the University crew had considerable work today. In the morning about five miles were covered, Coach Wray following in a single. The wind was strong and the washboards were necessary on account of the rough water. The eight went out again in the afternoon after the four-oar practice, and rowed downstream in one stretch until opposite the two-mile mark by the Navy Yard. After a rest the shell was rowed back. The men seem gradually to be getting together better, but Faulkner was erratic in slide control, and Fish particularly slow...
...Freshman crew rowed four miles in the morning, and followed the University eight in the afternoon. The men rowed in clean form except for Macleod, who is still in Wyman's place at number 5, but the boat went smoothly. Macleod buckles his oar at the end of the stroke. Assistant Coach Gill coxswained the Freshman four-oar, which had only light work. A time trial for all the crews is expected tomorrow...
...YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 12, 1907.--The Yale eight had another time row over the four-mile course about 7 o'clock tonight. The late start was due to the rough weather. The row was upstream with the wind and tide favorable and the course was covered in 22 minutes, 11 seconds. At the two-mile mark, opposite the Navy Yard the freshman eight took up the race one length ahead, and finished a length behind the university crew...
