...experience of the past season has shown, the development of a winning track team depends very largely on efficient coaching. This has already been provided for next year by the reappointment of Coaches Donovan and Quinn; and with material much more promising than that which was available at the start of the past season, there is good ground for expecting next year's record to show improvement over that of 1909. Yale's exceptionally well-balanced team will be much broken by the graduation of several reliable men, so that at present the chances of victory in the dual meet...
...water at the catch instead of dropping the oars in quickly without jerking. In spite of these slight faults, however, the crew continues to show marked improvement with every row. The Freshman eight did no harder work than in the morning, with the exception of one racing start with the stroke at 40, the boat going especially well. After covering about two miles, the three fours lined up for a short sprint in which the second four won by half a length.

The University four rowed down to the railroad bridge and back over the two-mile course to the Navy Yard, being timed by Coxswain King, as Coach Wray was following the other...
...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...
