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. In the morning the University eight paddled down-stream to the mile mark and back in easy stretches. There was no hard work of any kind and no racing starts were tried. The Freshman eight covered about a mile and one-half, while all the fours had slightly harder practice. The University and Freshman fours rowed down to the Navy Yard and back, trying a few racing starts which were won by the University boat...
While the afternoon's work was naturally harder than that in the morning still it was very light. The University eight went out about 5.15 o'clock and was followed down-stream to the mile and one-half mark by the University four.

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...
...Merrihew '10, and L. Watson '10 were entered from the former association, and H. W. Kelley '11, C. C. Little '10, and E. L. Parker '10 from the latter. In all University men won 48 points. Two records were broken. G. P. Gardner, Jr., '10 set a new mark in the low hurdles by covering the distance in 24 3-5 seconds. B. F. Sherman '05, with a throw of 147 feet, 5 1-2 inches, bettered his former record by 5 feet, 2 1-2 inches...
