...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, which was covered in good time. Then the stroke was lowered until the end of the second mile, where the Freshman eight...
YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 14, 1907.--All four of the crews rowed upstream for a mile in the morning without attempting to race. Rockwell replaced G. Auchincloss in the university shell. In the afternoon all the crews rowed downstream for four miles. With opposing wind, a favorable tide, and a slow stroke the university crew covered the distance in 23 minutes and 50 seconds. G. Auchincloss returned to the university shell in the afternoon...
...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 in starting his hands away after the recovery...

Buxton was back at No. 4. In the morning the Freshmen rowed easily downstream for two miles and back...
HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 11, 1907-Today the University crew had the hardest work of the season. This morning the crew went down over the first half-mile of the course at thirty strokes to the minute, and then continued downstream another mile and a half and back at easy stretches. The river was rough and much water was shipped. In the afternoon the men rowed downstream to the railroad bridge in short stretches and returned up the four-mile course without a stop. No time was taken as the stroke was kept slow...
