Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 17, 1909.--Today's work for all the crews was the hardest since the arrival of the squads. As there was a strong south wind blowing straight down the course in the morning, the practice was necessarily very light. All the crews, except the Freshman four which went up into Moulthrop Inlet, rowed over to the west shore opposite the Freshman quarters at Red Top and paddled up and down over the last half-mile of the course. But in the afternoon the University crew was sent over the four-mile course...

...practice for the University and Freshman crew squads yesterday afternoon was very light. The University eight went down-stream to the Cottage Farm Bridge and back, rowing in short stretches at a stroke varying between 33 and 35. Most of the practice this week has been of this order with a view to quickening the work of the men through out the boat...
