...June 10, 1907.--The University crew squad arrived here late this afternoon, and the men went out for a row before going to their quarters. The University eight, accompanied by Coach Wray in the "John Harvard," rowed about two and one-half miles before turning.

The boat did not space so well as during the last few days, and the men did not swing on their oars in unison...
