Last week the University eight showed a slight improvement but as yet the rowing is only fair. Yesterday the crew took a long row down beyond Harvard Bridge and back. The work seemed smoother, with a better and more even body swing along the keel of the boat...
...rowed 6 in his Freshman eight, showed-up well at 5, and he seems to have a good chance for Withington's place in the University crew. This crew seemed to be fairly well together in spite of the fact that the boat was not on a very even keel and the oars did not come out cleanly at the finish...
...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. The boat went very well and spaced out beautifully on a perfectly even keel; the finish was hard and the catch quick and there was plenty of life in the boat. 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 morning and a complete change...
...afternoon the University crew paddled down-stream about two and three quarters miles. The work of the eight was not so good as in the morning, in that the slide work was erratic at times and the boat did not keep on a very even keel. Lunt at 2 and Cutler at bow were slightly off form.

Although the first crew rows fairly well, it is palpably weak in certain points; it fails to keep the boat on any sort of even keel, washes out on the finish by feathering under water, and hurries the slides back before the catch has fully been made...
