...Harvard four-oared University crew suffered a severe shock the other day, when a general shake-up occurred. The crew rowed in one order for the first week at New London, and with only ten rowing days left before the race a shift was made. As a result the Yale four-oar has considerable advantage. Also, the greater length of the Yale four-oar stroke gives the men an added point in their favor, for the length of a stroke in a four oar is of greater importance than in an eight...
...afternoon the University four went out with Reece at stroke and Bacon at 2. The shell was taken downstream about two miles and a half in long stretches at a slow stroke in order to help shake the crew together. Both Freshman crews went short distances in the morning, but in the afternoon the eight covered about four miles at a fairly good speed in short stretches. The Freshman four went downstream about two miles and returned...
...some disapprove of the methods adopted, there is no doubt that this country is undergoing an unprecedented moral awakening, that lends the greatest importance to the coming campaign. It is an opportunity for the Political Club to become an active power for good; but if neglected, it will shake our confidence in the ability of undergraduate organizations to deal ably with the larger questions beyond the horizon of college life...
HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 12, 1907.--The main feature of the crew practice here today was the decided shake-up in the University four-oar during the afternoon practice. The boat started about 5.15 o'clock with G. Bacon stroking instead of Lunt. After a mile C. Morgan replaced Amberg at number 3. In a short while Lunt was put in Swaim's place at number 2, and later Burchard replaced Wiggins at bow. The four-oar has not been doing satisfactory work, and Coach Wray has been paying especial attention to it. More changes are likely...
...shifted to the other side of the boat and was out in at 6 in place of Mulligan. Morgan took Swaim's former seat at 3. Both crews rowed up to the Brighton bridge together and the advance over the ragged rowing shown on Monday, caused by the shake-up, was very noticeable. Wray coached from the launch, but gave the men only light work, as the rough water prevented the crews from going downstream...
