With one exception, Harvard is the out- standing Eastern crew. The excep- tion is Yale. Both are unbeaten. Harvard, with victories over Rut- gers, Syracuse, Princeton, Cornell, M.IT. Navy, Pennsylvania and Co- lumbia, is favored. In winning the Adams cup this season from Navy and Penn, Har- vard displayed the 1938 version of the strange strategy that has characterized college crew rac- mng (and this means Yale-Har- vard racing) from the start. Navy and Penn passed in review before the onlookers. Harvard’s men rode to the starting line in taxicabs, sav- ing their strength. The first American college row- ing—and the first display of stra- tegy by undergraduate oarsmen — PALS SO YUH SEE, WE AIN'T IN | took place at Yale in 1844, A 4-oared boat, the Nautilus, owned by a Yale club, raced a large dugout, the Centiped, mannes 15 sophomorc The sophomores were dubious of their chances.

Known as the “Yale Navy” and the “Harvard Navy,” the crews r many years took their titles se ously. Every race w: the death, and the “a s” out- did each other in figuring out stra- tegic moves to sink the enemy In '59, Harvard kept crowding the Yale skiff, forcing Yale to a wide course. Harvard won. A rowoff was ordered. In the second race, the boats kept repeatedly tangling and almost swamping each oth Yale won this time In '74, Harvard steered into the Yale shell and cut the rudder thus eliminating any chances of Yale's winning. In '82 Yale experimented with a 67-foot boat, with the oarsmen grouped in pairs. In '83, Ya o ed a big wind sail on the bow, but Harvard won by 20 lengths For a while, around the turn of the century, the rival teams bad camps in full view of each other at New London. Thu: ale rowed past the Harvard crew, and vice versa. The idea w the opry-ition so tr hly i would be frightened to d The history of the Harvard-Yale race is full of interesting details, aside 'from the strategy used by the crews. The first race w ggested not by Yale or Harvard, but by an enterprising railroad mana who wanted excursion-train bus and advertising. . . . First Harvard uni- forms featured blue; Yale wi crimson! . Both original crews were made up entirely of members of the class of 1853, except for Charles A. White of Yale. White furnished Yale its boat The regular varsity 8-oared races at four miles (the series that is continued today) began in 1876, and |have been held at New London, Conn., ever since 1878. There were 37 races from 1900-37 inclusive. Yale won 21, Harvard 16 The last Yale victory was in 1935. Lastly, although the Harvard- Yale races are always spectacu- lar, there is a record for sheer rowing color they never will equal. The exhibition they never will duplicate was staked in 50 B.C. by Cleopatra. Cleo’s oarsmen were not so proficient as those of today, but theyshad a barge adorned with gold, sails of purple, 20 oars set with silver, and théy kept time to the music of flutes and lyres.

The FHA Plan aims to provide better homes for American families at prices within their means. This aim is accomplished by insuring loans of private capital for repair- ing and remodeling property. In its accomplishment, the FHA Plan atfords a practical way for families with moderate incomes to enjoy improved living quarters. Just how FHA-Insured loans may be used will be cheerfully explained to you by the FHA Dis- trict Office in Juneau, or by any local institution which is authorized to make loans under the Plan. The Federal Housing Administration does not advise or compel you to secure your loan through any one definite agency. Rather, it leaves entirely to your choice the authorized loan agency with which you will prefer to do business, and the contractors or building material dealers by whom your repairs will be completed. After deciding what repairs, additions, or alterations you will wish made to your home —or business property—up to a maximum improvement expenditure of $10,000 it would be well for you, the borrower, to secure an estimate on the cost of your projected improvements. In case you plan actual remodeling of your property it is also advis- able that an architect be consulted—though architectural services are not required by the loan regulations. Your loan requirements determined, your property improvement loan can speedily be consummated by your lending institution. Its service to you will determine just how you will repay your loan from your income, without assuming a burden that will inconvenience you. The loan agency will arrange the time of your loan (up to 5 years) and the amount of your individual payments. Within approximately one week after you have applied for your FHA Plan Property Improvement Loan—you will be ready to commence actual work on your property.
