...best time tat the crew has made so far this year, but the conditions were particularly favorable. At the start, Farely rowed about 36 strokes to the minute, but soon lowered his pace to 28 strokes. This rate was maintained over the entire course, with the exception of a slight raise at the two-mile mark, and at the finish. The rowing was very satisfactory and continual improvement has been shown lately. The men showed a tendency to rush their slides and to get out of unison on settling down to their stroke, after it had been raised, but this...
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...

As the game comes on the day before Class Day, many men, underclassmen as well as Seniors, will have friends in Cambridge, and it is hardly fair to ask them to leave their guests to find their way alone, in order to march in the parade. Those, however...
Leonard's injury has not improved sufficiently to allow him to play today and Pritchett will be at third base. Captain Dexter did not report for practice yesterday as he was troubled with a slight attack of laryngitis, but he will be in the game today. If Hartford is in condition today he will pitch; otherwise Brennan will be used...
...race started at 6.18 o'clock. The Freshmen caught the water first and began rowing a 32 stroke to Springfield's 34. They gained slightly, but at the quarter-mile Springfield, was drawing ahead. At the Harvard bridge the Freshman coxswain had to steer so close to the other shell to avoid, a raft that Jose at 2 in the Harvard boat struck his oar against that of Hicks, Springfield's number 7, and caught a slight crab. From this point the superiority of the Springfield crew was apparent, and they finished well together, with a strong spurt...
