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. The crew covered the distance up-stream, under fair conditions, in 21 minutes, 37 seconds. 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...
...boat moved along with hardly a check between strokes. P. Withington at 6 fitted in well and finished in good condition. It the crew continues to improve as indicated by yesterday's work, it seems very likely that the change will benefit the crew in spite of its late date...
...arisen from the manifest lack of life which has been the characteristic fault of the crew throughout the latter part of the season.

Of late the rowing has fallen off, and the crew in its present stage is probably not as good as last year's--not only that, indications are that it is no better than Yale's. This is certainly a revelation, considering the foundation Yale had to go upon--principally last year...
...last month Sargent's work has apparently not been satisfactory to Coach Wray. His rowing is short and in the last mile and a half of last evening's time row he was late in his work and the boat was practically stroked by Waid at 7. Sargent seems to have lost his life and the rhythmic beat which was so characteristic of his work last year. If the rowing tomorrow shows that Cutler is able to row a long high stroke and hold it for a long distance, the change in all probability will remain. Cutler's work last...
Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 9, 1909.--The Yale university and freshman crew squads arrived here late this afternoon and immediately went to their quarters. The launch "Elihu Yale" was in readiness and the shells were all rigged for the men, but the crews were unable to go out on account of the heavy rain. D. M. Baker, 1911 S., was elected captain of the freshman eight...
