About thirty new times of minimum light recorded with photoelectric
or CCD photometers were obtained for several little studied
eccentric-orbit eclipsing binaries V871 Aql (
, 
),
V345 Lac (
),
V401 Lac (
) and
CR Sct (
).
Their 
diagrams were analyzed using all reliable timings found
in the literature and in all cases an apsidal motion was either
discovered or confirmed. The new values for the elements of
the apsidal motion were derived. We find periods of apsidal motion of about
255, 7000, 79.4 and 4400 years
for V871 Aql, V345 Lac, V401 Lac and CR Sct, respectively.
