...long punt bounded over O'Flaherty's head and Frothingham ran it back along the side lines 20 yards to Harvard's 40-yard line. A double pass, O'Flaherty to Frothingham, gained two yards. Frothingham got twelve more outside tackle and then punted to Kern, who made a fair catch on Bowdoin's 26-yard line. An end play was stopped by Huntington, a centre play made no gain and Bowdoin was forced to punt. O'Flaherty ran the ball back to Bowdoin's 36-yard line, just as time was called for the first half...
...morning. The University four rowed down to the railroad bridge and back over the two-mile course to the Navy Yard, being timed by Coxswain King, as Coach Wray was following the other crews in the launch. The time was 13 minutes and 21 seconds, which is considered very fair as the crew rowed against a strong tide. No racing starts were tried, the men averaging about 30 strokes to the minute all the way. The Freshman four practiced racing starts and then rowed over the last half-mile of the course. The crew started at 38 and finished...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 20, 1909.--Late last evening Coach Wray sent the University eight in its new order over the four-mile course on time.

No attempt at speed was made throughout the course, the object being to get the new order well together, to try Cutler out at stroke, and to see if Withington was fit for the distance. The stroke was kept at 30 except for the third half-mile, when it was raised to 31. At the finish...
...Freshman eight rowed over the last two miles of the course in 10 minutes, 16 seconds; which is considered very fair time in view of the fact that it was the crew's first time row over the course. Starting at 36, the crew averaged about 32 strokes for most of the row. At the finish the stroke went up as high as 40. Lack of a hard leg drive was the chief fault...
...would do away with competitions, the facts of which always leak out. The Student Council would not be hampered by the necessity of balancing the results of a competition, which at best is no real test of executive ability, against the personal equation. The Council would be reasonable and fair in its judgments. The candidates would not have the chagrin of doing invidious begging to no avail. Finally, the friends of contestants would not have to drain their pockets to help in the glorious victory or dire defeat...
