...June 14, 1906--The University crew defeated the Freshman eight on the Thames this afternoon by a length and a quarter in a two-mile race down stream, covering the distance in 11 minutes, 2 2-5 seconds. The Freshmen caught the water first, but at the first half-mile flag the University boat had gained half a length. With a 32 stroke, this lead was increased to a length at the end of a mile. In the third half-mile the Freshmen were rowing 34 strokes to the minute, while the University crew, raising this by two points...
...University crew rowed vigorously, but at times showed a tendency to shorten the stroke. Aided by the tide, however, the boat spaced well against a strong head wind. The Freshman boat ran smoothly until the last half mile, when Mulligan seemed to lose control of his oar. Severance, at 5, caught a crab about three-quarters of a mile from the finish, and Rackemann, at 3, jumped his slide in the spurt. A slight change was made in the make-up of the Freshman eight. Mulligan returned to number 4, from which position he was yesterday changed...
...Yale university crew was sent out on the Thames yesterday at 6.30 o'clock, and covered the regular four-mile course in 23 minutes, 34 seconds. The Freshman eight also took the water at the same time, and for the first two miles of the course raced the university crew, winning by a length and a half. The Freshmen rowed a 29 stroke, while that of the university eight was 28. No announcement was made of the time of the four-oar, which was sent over a two-mile course. As the tide was going out, and a cross wind...
...afternoon the crew left the float at 5.50 o'clock and went down stream for about two miles, keeping close to the east shore in order to avoid the rough water occasioned by an ebbing tide and a south wind. They rowed out in the current on the way back to the quarters. Filley maintained throughout the practice the slowest stroke he has used this year, paddling along at 26 and 27 strokes to the minute. The shell was on an even keel all the time and the men rowed in clean form...
...Cutler, who has been at 2 in the Freshman four-oar, went into the corresponding position on the eight. Mulligan was moved from 4 in the eight to 2 in the four-oar. E. Cutler was replaced by Butler, a substitute, in the middle of the afternoon row. The crew rowed down stream both morning and afternoon, going about four miles each time. The shell was somewhat unsteady in the morning, but settled down in the afternoon. The men are in good condition and rowed a lively stroke...
