...victorious four-oared crew in 1905, and stroked the University eight this year against Cornell. In this last race he rowed very well. He showed good generalship and pulled hard all the way. Furthermore, the men have become accustomed to his rhythm and can follow him with regularity. Nevertheless he is none too sure of himself, for he has shown a tendency to shorten his stroke at both ends as soon as he becomes fatigued. This forces all the rest of the men to rush their recovery, and would prove fatal to the chances of any crew in a race...
...number 3 the year before in addition to rowing on the 1907 Freshman eight. On account of his unusually smooth form. Coach Wray considered him seriously for stroke this season. He was tried out in the Columbia race, and did not prove as effective as had been hoped. Nevertheless, he is the best man on the squad for bow. He is particularly smooth, pulls hard, and rows a difficult position with ease...
This year Yale has a very smooth working crew in practice, although not so smooth as the 1906 Yale crew. The men have been together somewhat longer than the Harvard eight as it is at present composed, and are considered a steady and reliable combination. Nevertheless, the Yale boat this year does not seem to have the power behind the oars that is in the Harvard boat. A close race on June 27 is looked for and unless the stroke goes wrong, the Harvard crew ought...
...raised the pace to 34. The crew as a whole did not row as well as it has for the past few days. The men on the starboard side of the shell all pulled short at the finish of their stroke during the last half of the distance. Nevertheless the time was fairly good, despite the fact that the men rowed with a favoring wind and tide. They went the distance in 10 minutes and 30 seconds, and the last half-mile in 2 minutes and 43 seconds. Buxton was back at his seat at number 4, where Vogel...
...week ago. The crew started this morning under very fair conditions, with a favoring wind and tide, but the tide was went for the first two miles. As the work came just at noon, the men were somewhat oppressed by the heat since they rowed with the wind. Nevertheless, they rowed about 30 to 32 strokes to the minute until the last half-mile, when Farley raised the stroke to about 36, and in the last 100 yards going at about 40. The work is considered to be decidedly satisfactory. The men have shown that they have speed...
