Yale defeated Cornell at New Haven Saturday by the score of 6 to 0. Yale played a strong game both at the bat, securing nine hits, and in the field; whereas Cornell obtained but five scattered hits off Van Vleck and Merritt, who was substituted for the former in the sixth. In the fifth Yale batted Caldwell out of the box, and off Howes, who took his place, only one run was scored...
...long distance, the change in all probability will remain. Cutler's work last year as stroke of the 1911 Freshman crew marked him as an exceptionally good freshman stroke. He undoubtedly has a longer reach than Sargent, has good proportion in his stroke and is a very strong oar generally. Waite was taken from stroke in the second four and put in at Withington's place at 2 in the University four and Parker, one of the Freshman substitutes, filled Waite's seat at stroke in the second four. These further changes were made necessary as Sargent...
...work of the crews this morning was very light as a strong northwest wind was blowing. The two eights and fours went across to the west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course. The University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 17, 1909.--Today's work for all the crews was the hardest since the arrival of the squads. As there was a strong south wind blowing straight down the course in the morning, the practice was necessarily very light. All the crews, except the Freshman four which went up into Moulthrop Inlet, rowed over to the west shore opposite the Freshman quarters at Red Top and paddled up and down over the last half-mile of the course. But in the afternoon the University crew was sent over the four-mile course...
...course, when it was raised gradually to 40 at the finish. Taken as a whole the rowing of the crew was good and the time fast, as there was no wind throughout the row except in one stretch opposite Cows Point, and the tide was not as strong as that which favored the Yale crew last night. Throughout the course the crew rowed well together, the boat spaced out well at 32 strokes to the minute, and continued to space a few feet even when the crew was rowing 40; the men finished strong and in good condition.
