...Lanigan's safe drive to left brought Harvey across the plate. An error by short stop on Simons' grounder put Lanigan on third, but Simons was caught stealing second. Harvey met the occasion by hitting to right for two bases, scoring Lanigan, but getting out himself on trying to stretch the hit to three bases...
...University eight was put through a short but hard drill yesterday afternoon. The river was very rough, and the wind dead ahead upstream, but Coach Wray demanded a high stroke. On the first sprint the stroke was rapidly put up to 33 to the minute, and in the stretch extending from below the Stillman Infirmary to the boathouse it was raised to 36. The crew showed even better form with a high stroke than with a low, although it tended naturally to clip the stroke a little at the finish...
...University crew has rowed regularly in the order given below. Individually, every member is experienced, having been in at least one race at New London; taken as a whole the men pull well together. The crew has been twice down to the basin; yesterday it continued in one long stretch past Harvard Bridge almost to Beacon street. Richardson, Severance, and Fish are occupying the same seats they filled last year. Lunt, however, has gone to four and Faulkner has been shifted from three to bow. Morgan, now at three, rowed against Yale and Cambridge in 1906, but was a substitute...
...hear the pistol, and Randolph gained an advantage of about half a length. By the time the first corner was reached they had gained another quarter of a length, and were only three-quarters of a length behind. They continued to gain until, at the beginning of the last stretch, only some 10 feet of open water separated the boats. At this point the Claverly crew began to get together, and gained steadily on their pursuers, finishing nearly a length to the good...
...they finished at least double that distance behind. Dunster-Russell got off well at the start, but were never able to gain on Westmorly, and it was soon apparent that they would be overtaken by Mt. Auburn Street. The bump took place at the beginning of the last long stretch. Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton was another disappointment, and was being left far behind by Mt. Auburn Street, when this crew bumped Dunster-Russell. Beck-Hampden finished about twice its original distance behind Hollis-Holworthy-Stoughton, and was rowing in poor form...
