Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 14, 1908.--On Saturday Coach Wray gave the University eight their second time trial over the course within three days. The crew covered four miles up stream under very favorable conditions in 20 minutes, 45 seconds. The start was easy and the stroke was kept about 30 till the last half-mile was passed, then it was gradually raised until 39 was reached in the last hundred yards.

Some good chances were lost by poor base-running and by hits not coming with men on the bases. But, on the other hand, there were many bright spots in the work of the team, such as Leonard's base-running, and the fielding. Currier caught two men at second at critical times by swift, accurate throws, and played well behind the bat. Simons covered a large area...
