Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 21, 1909.--As the weather was excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The University four followed the eight down-stream and back, and the second four took a light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went...
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...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 18, 1909.--Two very important and sudden changes were made in the order of the University crew tonight. R. W. Cutler '11 was put in at Sargent's place at stroke and P. Withington '09 was taken from 2 in the University four and put in at Cutler's place at six. Whether this change is to be permanent or not will be decided by tomorrow's rowing if the water is sufficiently calm...
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...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 15, 1909.--Today the regular routine work of the crews began, consisting of two rows a day, a short paddle in the morning and a long row in the afternoon. A special arrangement has been made by which the members of the University eight take their examinations at 12 o'clock, thus enabling them to get in their morning...
