...Conn., June 17, 1909.--Today's work for all the crews was the hardest since the arrival of the squads. As there was a strong south wind blowing straight down the course in the morning, the practice was necessarily very light. All the crews, except the Freshman four which went up into Moulthrop Inlet, rowed over to the west shore opposite the Freshman quarters at Red Top and paddled up and down over the last half-mile of the course. But in the afternoon the University crew was sent over the four-mile course on time. The University and second...
...minutes, 55 seconds, which is exactly the same as that made by the Yale crew last night. The shell was towed down-stream to the start at the railroad bridge, by the "John Harvard," the members of the crew being taken in the launch. At the start the crew went off at the rate of 36 strokes to the minute, but the stroke was soon lowered to 32 and this rate was maintained until the last half-mile of the course, when it was raised gradually to 40 at the finish. Taken as a whole the rowing of the crew...

...University crew went out first and rowed down-stream to the Navy Yard and back, followed by Coach Wray in the launch "John Harvard." After the University crew, the two University fours and the Freshman eight and four went out. Parker, one of the Freshman substitutes, stroked the second University four-oar in the absence of Waite, who was delayed in getting to the quarters.

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...
