Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 22, 1909.--As the weather continues to be very hot, the crews had light work again this morning. The University eight went down-stream to the mile mark and back in easy stretches. The boat went very well and spaced out beautifully on a perfectly even keel; the finish was hard and the catch quick and there was plenty of life in the boat. All the crews did about the same work as the University eight, the Freshman crew also rowing very well. R. F. Hoopel 11 returned to the quarters early this...
...afternoon the University crew paddled down-stream about two and three quarters miles. The work of the eight was not so good as in the morning, in that the slide work was erratic at times and the boat did not keep on a very even keel. Lunt at 2 and Cutler at bow were slightly off form. The Freshman eight covered about four miles in all. One racing start was tried which went very well, but this crew also lacked the good form which it showed in the morning. The University four rowed down to the railroad bridge and back...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 21, 1909.--As the weather was excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke.

The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went...
...Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry. Conn., June 21, 1909.--At 11 o'clock this morning the university eight and two four-oared crews rowed up-stream. An outrigger's breaking in one of the fours forced it to return after rowing a mile. The other four continued for another half-mile, but the eight did not turn back until it had rowed two and a half miles. In the afternoon the freshman crew rowed down-stream two miles at a slow stroke, and the university eight was taken down to the railroad-bridge in the launch and rowed back...
...afternoon, as Hooper was sent back to Boston on account of symptoms of measles. H. Forster '11, who has been rowing bow in the second four, took his place, and in spite of the change, the boat went even better that it did in the morning. Before the University crew went out in the evening, Captains Cutler and Howe, together with F. V. Chappell, chairman of the regatta committee, decided to row the race over the course as at present staked...
