...open water at the 2 1-2 mile flag. This lead was maintained with slight variations until the crews passed the 3 1-2 mile post. Both rowed hard, making a very pretty race. Entering the last half-mile, Farley put up his stroke to about 36. For a short distance his crew crept up on the Freshmen, then hung for a minute and in the last 100 yards, going at almost forty strokes to the minute, gained again, finishing a little less than three-quarters of a length behind. In point of form, the University crew rowed well. Their...
...Athletic Committee has lost its best member by re-organization. It is doubtful whether anyone knows more about the workings of our athletics than Professor White. Nor has anyone worked harder to keep them clean, and at the same time avoid unnecessary and petty restrictions. In short we dislike to lose a man of Professor White's calibre, especially when the reasons for his disqualification are supported neither by precedent nor logic...
...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, although the crew will be chosen in a few days...
...over the first half-mile of the course at thirty strokes to the minute, and then continued downstream another mile and a half and back at easy stretches. The river was rough and much water was shipped. In the afternoon the men rowed downstream to the railroad bridge in short stretches and returned up the four-mile course without a stop. No time was taken as the stroke was kept slow all the way. The boat spaced well between strokes and followed the stroke regularly. At the Navy Yard the Freshmen started about a boat length ahead, kept well with...
YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 11, 1907.-On account of the four-mile race yesterday the crews were given easy work today. In the morning the university and freshman eights took short spins rowing at easy stretches. The university and freshman four-oared crews had a one and a half-mile race. Though the freshmen were given one and a half boat lengths' handicap they were defeated by four lengths. A high wind and consequent rough water prevented any further practice in the morning...
