Yesterday afternoon the University crew squad held its first fall practice on the river. Three crews were made up and left the Newell boat-house separately, going up-stream. Neither launch was in commission and all the coaching was done by Mr. Wray from his single shell, despite the rough water. E. C. Bacon '10 and Sargent '10, both members of last year's Freshman eight, were at stroke and bow, respectively, for the first time in the University crew. Morgan rowed at 4, the position occupied by Captain Bacon last year, but with the above exceptions the eight rowed...
...spring of 1905. Last year he rowed 4 in the Cornell and Yale races; but he contracted water on the knee in England last summer and was unable to take part in the race against Cambridge. He pulls a very powerful oar and has mastered the Wray stroke Glass is a very reliable man and is especially valuable on account of his long reach and weight...
...rows bow, R. M. Tappan '07, rowed there last year and 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...
...practice on the Thames, the reports were in general unfavorable. Recent developments are proving, however, that the University eight is of strong calibre. The latest time trial was very satisfactory and the men seem to be working together better. With the final eight picked, and another week for Coach Wray to round the crew into perfect form, Harvard's chances of victory seem very bright. Our only wish is that Captain Bacon's men will have to further setbacks due to sickness. With the crew in its best condition, we are confident that the final and most important race...
...University eight rowed downstream about a mile and a half this morning accompanied by Wray in his single scull. A moderate stroke was maintained and the boat went better than it has at any other time this year. In the afternoon, however, the showing was less satisfactory. The crew went downstream again to the Navy Yard and back in long stretches--and one half-mile was rowed with a stroke of 38, which was raised to 40 in the last 100 yards. The boat travelled better with the fast stroke than it did with the slow. Nevertheless, the work...
