...final score being 15 to 0. In this game a marked improvement over the form displayed in the Wesleyan game was noticeable. A successful forward pass, Howe to Vaughan was the feature of the game. The final mid-week game against Holy Cross was disappointing, owing in part to hot weather. Poor football characterized the game, which Yale won by the score of 12 to 0. By consistently smooth and machine-like play, Yale rolled up a total of 36 points against the Springfield Training School. Howe ran the team well, using excellent judgment at critical points...
...speaker then gave a short history of aeronautics. The first ascension was made in 1783 from Versailles, France, in a hot-air balloon. Animals only were sent up, but when it was found to be safe men attempted an ascension. In the same year hydrogen was used as a lifting power. The next year a balloon was first used for scientific purposes, and about the same time one crossed the English channel from England to France. From then on, numberless ascents have been made, and great heights reached...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 24, 1909.--Today's work for all crews was exceptionally light on account of the continued hot weather.

Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 22, 1909.--As the weather continues to be very hot, the crews had light work again this morning. The University eight went down-stream to the mile mark and back in easy stretches.

All the crews did about the same work as the University eight, the Freshman crew also rowing very well. R. F. Hoopel 11 returned to the quarters early this...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 21, 1909.--As the weather was excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke.

The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went...
