...substitutes, and the members of the freshman crew formed a nucleus for the 1909 crew. Until after the two-mile race with Pennsylvania, in which Yale was defeated, there was the problem of finding a stroke. Captain Howe was tried, but was found to be too heavy and slow for the position. After the race Wallis, who stroked Yale's winning university four last year, was put in at stroke, Howe returning to his old seat at 6. The other places were filed from members of last year's freshman eights and university fours. Although there was much bad weather...
Harvard Training Quarters, Red Top, Conn., June 21, 1909.--As the weather was excessively hot today the crews all had very light work in the morning. The University crew paddled down-stream to the Navy Yard, and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The University four followed the eight down-stream and back, and the second four took a light row up-stream towards the Yale quarters. The Freshman four rowed down-stream a little beyond Cows Point and back, and the eight covered the same distance. Later in the afternoon it was much cooler; the crews went...
...fours forced it to return after rowing a mile. The other four continued for another half-mile, but the eight did not turn back until it had rowed two and a half miles. In the afternoon the freshman crew rowed down-stream two miles at a slow stroke, and the university eight was taken down to the railroad-bridge in the launch and rowed back in a single stretch. The two university and freshman four-oars rowed a half-mile race and the freshmen were given a start of a length. The freshmen came in second. No time was taken...
...rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream to about a quarter of a mile beyond the two-mile flag at the Navy Yard and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke. The water was so rough that the crew could not be given a good try out, but in view of the poor conditions the change seemed to work well and the boat spaced very well at 28 strokes to the minute against the wind. The Freshman eight rowed about...
...been trying to acquire a longer and more powerful finish and a low stroke has been maintained. The Freshman eight has improved steadily since its race with the Cornell freshmen. Coach Wray has been paying special attention to the recovery and has been trying to get the men to slow down their slides before the catch in order that the boat may space out well between strokes without checking. Both crews will probably have hard work and long rows this week before leaving for New London after examinations next Monday...
