...Yale crews were given a half-hour's practice yesterday morning and were again sent out at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The freshmen started from the float first, and rowed well together, keeping the shell on an even keel and not shipping any water. After going to the Navy Yard the freshman crew returned to the float. Their stroke on the return was marked by ragged blade work, although a flood tide gave them considerable assistance...
...final practice of the University crew yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Cornell race was very light. The men paddled slowly down stream to the Longwood bridge and returned in easy stretches to the University boathouse. On the way up stream two starts were tried. The boat maintained an even keel...
...whole race was interesting, especially the first half-mile, when all the crews remained fairly even. At the start, the Sophomores gained a slight advantage, leading the other boats by half a length. At the Harvard bridge they had increased this lead to two lengths of open water. The Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors followed in order. From this point the race developed into a struggle between the Sophomores and the Freshmen. Henry rowed 32 strokes to the minute, and Kemp, who had been going at an easier pace, raised his stroke also. His crew, however, was only able to decrease...
Yesterday the University eight was given a time row over the regular course, the last mile being a race with the first Freshman crew. Filley started the boat with an easy stroke of 28 to the minute, and held this pace until the boat came even with the Freshmen, who were waiting above Harvard bridge. Here the University eight took ten strokes at 32, but the Freshman crew rowing a point or two higher held its own. Below the bridge the Freshmen led by a half-length, which they soon increased to three quarters. At this point Filley again raised...

Out of the fifteen members which compose this board, there were in 1904 six who were employes of the Hall, in 1905 seven, and in 1906 three. Mr. Smith asserted that twice during these three years this fact had to his knowledge materially affected...
