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 row...

No sprints or racing starts were tried. The Freshman crew took the same kind of work, rowing four miles in all. The four substitutes from the University and Freshman squads made up a four-oar and went out in one of the Cornell shells...
