Harvard Crew Quarters, Red Top, 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.

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.

In the two-mile run Kaynor of Yale, after putting up a determined fight for a place; was unable to hold the pace against the beating wind and rain, and fell on the sixth lap, leaving four Harvard men to finish the race. The 880-yard run was easily won by Fernald, with Yale men second and third. The time of 2 minutes, 3 4-5 seconds, was good against the wind...
