...second four took a short row near the bank of the west shore where the water was calm. The afternoon's practice was of a more serious nature. The University crew rowed down to the half-mile flag below the Navy Yard in one stretch, a distance of about two and one-half miles. The crew showed much improvement over yesterday's work and appears to be slowly emerging from last week's decided slump. The men were using their shoulders to better advantage at the finish, with the result that the boat was faster and much more life...
Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 15, 1909.--Today the regular routine work of the crews began, consisting of two rows a day, a short paddle in the morning and a long row in the afternoon. A special arrangement has been made by which the members of the University eight take their examinations at 12 o'clock, thus enabling them to get in their morning...

Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 14, 1909.--None of the crews were able to row this morning on account of a heavy wind. At 6 o'clock this afternoon, however, the university and freshman eights went up-stream two miles. On the way back the two eights had a brush for about a mile, which the university crew won by one length. The university and freshman fours took a short two up to Horton Cove and back...
