Gales Ferry, Conn., June 18, 1909. As the morning was very windy the only crew to leave quarters was the freshman eight. It went out at about 11 o'clock rowing a half-mile down-stream at a high stroke. However, owing to the rough water, it was forced to return to Gales Ferry. The university squads after waiting some time for the wind to die down, went for a two-mile walk in the morning. The wind continued blowing very hard up until about 6 o'clock. At 6.30 all the crews went out upon the river, paddling over...
...Sargent's place at stroke and P. Withington '09 was taken from 2 in the University four and put in at Cutler's place at six. Whether this change is to be permanent or not will be decided by tomorrow's rowing if the water is sufficiently calm...
...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.

The men were using their shoulders to better advantage at the finish, with the result that the boat...
ITHACA, N. Y., May 31.--In the race between the Freshman and Cornell 1912 eights, Harvard was easily defeated by four lengths. Towards the end of the race the blade work of the Harvard crew became ragged, and the men were very slow in getting their oars into the water at the catch. Although Harvard was the first to take the lead at the start, the Cornell freshmen were ahead at the quarter-mile mark, and from this point on increased their lead steadily...
