When the crew left for New London, it had behind it the record of two races lost, and during the first week of practice on the Thames, the reports were in general unfavorable. Recent developments are proving, however, that the University eight is of strong calibre. The latest time trial was very satisfactory and the men seem to be working together better. With the final eight picked, and another week for Coach Wray to round the crew into perfect form, Harvard's chances of victory seem very bright. Our only wish is that Captain Bacon's men will have...
HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED Tor OT., June 20, 1907.--The chief feature of the work at Red Top today was a time trial for the Freshman eight this morning. The crew started out after the rest of the Harvard crews had left the river, and went downstream as far as the Navy Yard in the launch. On account of the rough water the crew climbed into their shell just below the Navy Yard and rowed upstream over the last two miles of the University course. Bacon kept his stroke about 30 to 32 until the last half-mile, when...
HARVARD CREW QUARTERS, RED TOP, CT., June 18, 1907.--The most important event in the crew practice here today was another change in the University four-oar, Burchard being substituted for Amberg at 3 in the afternoon work. In the morning the four-oar rowed a trial upstream over the two-mile course, but the time was deplorably slow. The crew seemed to pull well together, but they were unable to travel with satisfactory speed. The Freshman four raced them over the last mile, and won by six lengths. After the change in the afternoon, the crew went only...
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...
...rowed in clean form except for Macleod, who is still in Wyman's place at number 5, but the boat went smoothly. Macleod buckles his oar at the end of the stroke. Assistant Coach Gill coxswained the Freshman four-oar, which had only light work. A time trial for all the crews is expected tomorrow...
