...this year's crew the bow six will return intact, but will probably be changed about in the boat as C. Morgan, Jr., '08, who is rowing 3 this year, is the probable choice for stroke. He stroked the 1908 Freshman crew last year and this year occupied the corresponding position on the University second crew until it was broken up into fours. R. L. Bacon '07, R. M. Tappan '07, S. W. Fish '08, G. G. Glass '08 and J. Richardson '08 will be the other members of this year's crew who will return. In addition to these...
This afternoon both eights went about two miles together. A slow stroke was kept by both the crews. The two four-oared crews had a race of one and one-half miles this afternoon. The freshmen started a length ahead but were a length behind at the finish. The work was very smooth, although no time was given...
...freshman eights left the Yale quarters at 5 o'clock this afternoon and rowed down stream 1 and 1-2 miles. Weeks took Rockwell's place at bow in the university eight, Rockwell going to bow in the four-oar. Both crews kept a 30 to the minute stroke and there was no attempt at a race. In a half-mile brush between the university and freshman four-oars, the former won by a length...
...University crew rowed vigorously, but at times showed a tendency to shorten the stroke. Aided by the tide, however, the boat spaced well against a strong head wind. The Freshman boat ran smoothly until the last half mile, when Mulligan seemed to lose control of his oar.

Mulligan returned to number 4, from which position he was yesterday changed...
...clock, and covered the regular four-mile course in 23 minutes, 34 seconds. The Freshman eight also took the water at the same time, and for the first two miles of the course raced the university crew, winning by a length and a half. The Freshmen rowed a 29 stroke, while that of the university eight was 28. No announcement was made of the time of the four-oar, which was sent over a two-mile course. As the tide was going out, and a cross wind blowing, the water was very rough during the afternoon. In the morning...
