Next fall, during the first two weeks in October, the Prospect Union will conduct a campaign among the workingmen of Cambridge, Arlington, and Somerville with the purpose of telling these men just what the Union can do for them, and thus increasing its membership. During the past few years, a campaign of this sort has been made and has netted excellent results. For next fall it is planned to reach more men and to reach them more effectively. Arrangements will be made whereby men will be sent in the evenings to meetings of labor unions, social clubs, and church societies...
...Although the slide work was poor at times the crew went very well, and on the row home the boat moved along especially smoothly. A change was made in the Freshman eight in the afternoon, Voorhees of the four replacing Faxon as coxswain. This crew went over the two-mile course up-stream, but was not timed. A racing start was tried, the crew going off at 38, and then the stroke was lowered to 30, being raised again to 36 at the finish. The rowing was very satisfactory and the boat spaced as well as it has this year...
Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry. Conn., June 21, 1909.--At 11 o'clock this morning the university eight and two four-oared crews rowed up-stream. An outrigger's breaking in one of the fours forced it to return after rowing a mile. The other four continued for another half-mile, but the eight did not turn back until it had rowed two and a half miles. In the afternoon the freshman crew rowed down-stream two miles at a slow stroke, and the university eight was taken down to the railroad-bridge in the launch and rowed back...
...third half-mile, when it was raised to 31. At the finish the crew gradually increased the stroke to 34, and then in the last ten strokes to 36. The time by half-miles was as follows: half-mile, 2.40; mile, 5.25; mile and one-half, 8.18; two miles, 10.55; two miles and one-half, 13.27; three miles, 16.16; three miles and one-half, 19.01; four miles...
...University four, Sargent replacing Hooper at stroke. Hooper was shifted to 2, and Waite returned to stroke of the second four. The University four went exceedingly well, Sargent's work at stroke in this boat being of great value. In the afternoon the Freshman eight went over the two-mile course up-stream. No time was taken. A low stroke was maintained, except for occasional short spurts. The boat went fairly well, but the men were inclined to lose their rhythm at a high stroke. A further change was made necessary in the University four in the afternoon, as Hooper...
