HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 14, 1907.--The University crew had its first time trial over the four-mile course late this afternoon, covering the distance in 22 minutes and 46 seconds. There was a slightly favoring tide; but Blagden steered a poor course, losing the force of the tide by not staying near enough to the channel. At about 7.15 o'clock the men went in the launch downstream as far as the New London railroad bridge. The crew got away with a good start and rowed about 32 strokes per minute for the first half-mile...
...papers, we feel that the parody on "Fair Harvard" in the last number of the Lampoon calls for some adverse comment. The writer may have intended to ridicule away the suggestion that more appropriate words could be chosen for "Fair Harvard," but his verses seem to be in extremely poor taste. Harvard may take pride in its freedom from antiquated traditions, but it is possible to carry cynicism too far. The song, which is parodied in the Lampoon, has meant much to generations of Harvard men, and it seems almost sacrilegious to distort the well-known verses to furnish sport...
...eighth inning Harvard seemed absolutely unable to hit Barrick, who struck out 11 men. Cooper did not prove so effective, and was replaced in the sixth inning by Little, who was invincible until the tenth inning, when two runs were scored. The fielding of both teams was poor. The second team scored their three runs as a result of two errors, and hits by Keefe, Benton, and Bird. The score by innings: Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 R. H. E. Harvard...
...University second baseball team will play Andover Academy at Andover this afternoon, instead of tomorrow as was previously announced. Since the second team has been playing rather poor baseball this spring it will probably be defeated this afternoon, as the University team only just defeated Andover 4 to 3 in a 10-inning game last Wednesday. Greene will probably start the game as pitcher. The probable batting orders are: HARVARD SECOND. ANDOVER. Keefe, 3b. l.f., Martin Harding, 1b. 3b., Merritt Frye, l.f. 2b., McIntyre Paine, s.s. s.s., Reilly Powers, 2b. r.f., Daly Usher, r.f. c.f., Badger Barta, c.f. 1b., Shannon...
...University second baseball team will play their second game with Dean Academy this afternoon at 3 o'clock on the University diamond, Soldiers Field. The Harvard team was defeated in the last game by the score of 18 to 11, owing to very poor fielding and inability to hit the ball. However, since that game the team has improved immensely, and should make a very much better showing today...
