...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. The two crews started even, and the University crew led by about three lengths of open water at the finish. 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...
Walter Alexander '87, captain and stroke of the 1887 University crew, watched the practice of the men from launch this afternoon. Assistant Manager G. P.

The crew rowed hard all the way, but the time is not considered particularly encouraging. The University four-oared also rowed on the course in the morning. They did not try for speed, but were sent over the first...
...University four-oared crew had light work in the morning, but in the afternoon rowed eight miles. The men went all the way down to the New London railroad bridge and back. This work helped them to become used to one another and to Cutler's stroke...
