...made in the Freshman eight this afternoon when Vogel was agin tried out at 4 in Buxton's place. He seemed to row smoother and not to settle in the boat at the end of his stroke as Buxton does, and is likely to keep the position. The Freshmen also went out for a short row in the morning, going about two miles...
YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 19, 1907.--The Yale crews had light work again today. In the morning the two eights rowed downstream about two miles and back in long stretches, and the four-oar crew had a race for about a mile, defeating the freshmen nearly a length. In the afternoon all the crews went out later than usual. The university and freshman eights rowed upstream a short distance and turned, proceeding downstream about a mile and a half in fairly long stretches. Both fours had light work...
...afternoon the work was harder. The University and Freshman eights rowed downstream together in easy stretches as far as the 2 1-2 mile mark.

The crews remained in about the same relative position for some distance, when the Freshmen started to draw ahead and gained a quarter of a boat length. Farley then raised his stroke and the crews raced for a quarter of a mile. The University eight spaced well and finished a half a length in the lead. The University four...

Entering the last half-mile, Farley put up his stroke to about 36. For a short distance his crew crept up on the Freshmen, then hung for a minute and in the last 100 yards, going at almost forty strokes to the minute, gained again, finishing a little less than three-quarters of a length behind. In point of form, the University crew rowed well. Their boat rode more evenly on her keel...
