YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 16, 1907.-Yesterday morning the university eight held another time row, going upstream over smooth water, in the time of 22 minutes and 37 seconds. The crew was towed to the draw bridge and started there, the freshman eight taking up the race at the one-mile mark. At the two-mile mark the university fur-oar joined in with a lead of a third of a mile. The university crew succeeded in beating the freshmen by one length. The men rested in the afternoon and went sailing on the yacht Tuscarora...
Throughout the practice the whole crew seemed to have considerable difficulty in controlling their slides. The blade work was very smooth and the men pulled together in splendid form, and on the trip upstream the boat spaced out almost to the rudder posts. They did not do so well on the row down-stream against the tide, however, and at times the shell checked perceptibly. Physically the men are in very good condition, although they are not trained very fine. They are all able to follow Tappan quite well, as was shown yesterday, when he raised the stroke to about...
...when great improvement was shown, the boat keeping on an evener keel than it has for some time, and the men rowing with life and fire. In the afternoon the Freshman eight paddled one and one-half miles in good shape, for all the men pulled hard with a smooth and finished stroke. Three of the Freshman squad, however, E. Cutler, J. Cutler, and Kemp, are still out of condition. The most important event of the morning was a paddle by the two four-oared boats in which five racing starts were tried. The University four-oar rowing hard, paddled...
...eights went about two miles together. A slow stroke was kept by both the crews. The two four-oared crews had a race of one and one-half miles this afternoon. The freshmen started a length ahead but were a length behind at the finish. The work was very smooth, although no time was given...
...shell which had been towed behind the launch. Emmons was first tried at three and rowed down stream in the boat for about three-quarters of a mile. In the first stretch the boat listed badly to star-board at the catch of each stroke, but went more smoothly afterwards. On the way upstream Richards rowed half of the distance, before Morgan succeeded him. The boat rode very steadily when Richards was in, but seemed to lack the vigor which was evident when either Morgan or Emmons rowed. The poor showing made by each of the men who rowed...
