...fifth thwart is occupied this year by W. R. Severance '09. Last year Severance rowed in the same position in the 1909 Freshman crew. He is a fairly smooth car, but has to be handled with care before any race because of his tendency to overtrain. He was unable to row against Columbia this year on account of poor condition, but in the Cornell race he kept well in unison with the rest of the crew, and pulled a strong and steady...
...Fish '08 holds his seat at number 2 for the second season on account of his strength. He is not at all smooth in his form, getting his hands away from his body at the beginning of the recovery in different time from the rest of the crew. He is very powerful, however, and proves an effective man in the boat. He rowed 2 on the 1908 Freshman crew, and last year and this has rowed the same position in all the races of the University eight...

A close race on June 27 is looked for and unless the stroke goes wrong, the Harvard crew ought...
YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 16, 1907.-Yesterday morning the university eight held another time row, going upstream over smooth water, in the time of 22 minutes and 37 seconds. The crew was towed to the draw bridge and started there, the freshman eight taking up the race at the one-mile mark. At the two-mile mark the university fur-oar joined in with a lead of a third of a mile. The university crew succeeded in beating the freshmen by one length. The men rested in the afternoon and went sailing on the yacht Tuscarora...
