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...
Arrangements for the Yale boat race, which will be rowed on the Thames on Thursday, July 1, have been completed. The four-oared race will be rowed at 10.30 o'clock from the head of the four-mile course down-stream to the Navy Yard. The Freshman race will be rowed immediately after the finish of the four-oared race, starting at the Navy Yard and finishing at the Bridge. The race between the University crews will start at 6 o'clock at the Bridge and will finish four miles up-stream...
Gales Ferry, Conn., June 18, 1909. As the morning was very windy the only crew to leave quarters was the freshman eight. It went out at about 11 o'clock rowing a half-mile down-stream at a high stroke. However, owing to the rough water, it was forced to return to Gales Ferry. The university squads after waiting some time for the wind to die down, went for a two-mile walk in the morning. The wind continued blowing very hard up until about 6 o'clock. At 6.30 all the crews went out upon the river, paddling over...
...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...
...work of the crews this morning was very light as a strong northwest wind was blowing. The two eights and fours went across to the west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course. The University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream...
