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...

Starting at 36, the crew averaged about 32 strokes for most of the row. At the finish the stroke went up as high as 40. Lack of a hard leg drive was the chief fault...
