J., April 21—A cat's whisker, an eyelash, the skin of your teeth—take choice and %ave a fitting measure of the Prince- ton crew's margin of victory over the Harvard eight in their race on Lage Carnegie yesterday afternoon. At the finish of their muscle and nerve straining test over a course o one and seven-eights miles the Tigers | led by just enough to prevent ! dead heat. - For the sake of __ovenience, we make the distance one | foot. It was not more than that. | Sticklers for mathematical accuracy figured it down to a matter of inches. | The crews were so close as they crossed the line that the timer's watch, measuring by half seconds, failed to. show any difference in their performances. The sons of Old SNassau were caught in 9.12 1-2— eight and one-half seconds behind the record for the course held by Cornell. It was a truly Homeric climax to & most strenuous struggle. Princeton led all the way. but Harvard made s gallant fight in the final quarter and all but succeeded. The spectacu- | lar finish brought to mind the fa- | -mous windup of the Yale-Harvard | contest at New London in 1914, when | the nose of the Crimson shell was only inches in front of the Eli bow. Easy for Crimson Juniors. While it was forced to concede de- feat in the big race, Harvard found some balm in the clean-cut victory of | its second crew over the Princeton | junior varsity. Rowing over the same course later covered in the prin- cipal event, the Crimson second eight won by fully two lengths. The Har- vard boat went to the fore at the half mile and was never headed, being | timed in 9.46, as against 9.55 for Princeton, For a crew ceded only an eight which warsity veterans and had never before rowed of a race, the Princeton put up a remarkable exhibition and deserves as much commendation as if it had triumphed by open water. The Tigers really won the contest fn the first quarter. They got the jump on their rivals at the start and gradually pulled away to assume a lead of three-quarters of a length at %he half ‘mile. At that stage it looked like child’s play for the home eight. But Harvard your you con- | which had been outside chance included only one man who | in any kind | combination | con- an | three | was not to be beaten i for | completed after some months of con- | McBride ! that Harvard mile and a half advantage had so easily. At the point Princeton’s dwindled to a mere quarter of a length. Slowly but surely the Crim- son shell crept up on the Orange and Black, while Harvard backs bent be- tween Harvard knees to the rhythm of a stroke. The Tigers, too, were rowing a 34 and a few, not- ably Otis at No. 3, the novice of the eight, were allowing their e to get the better of their form. They were tiring, too, not only from the physical exertion but the psychological effects of setting the pace from the start. PLANS COMPLETED FOR YALE FOOTBALL | New Coaches Have Arranged Details Pertaining o Success Eli Hope on Gridiron, New York, April 21 Final of the Yale football coaching s the coming season have for stem been ference and consideration, with the result that the Eli gridiron machine will make a new start next fall under the direction of experienced player- coaches. What the only time can demonstrate. New coaches and systems are no longer a novelty at Yale and in recent = years the changes have not lifted the t of the elevens to the heights reached by the teams of past decade: The personal of the new coaching group promises well for in Tad Jones, Mike Sweeney, Dr- Billy Bull, Arthur and Clarence Olcutt, the brought together five men who know foothall both from the playing and coaching standpoint. With Walter Camp in an advisory ca- Blue has { pacity and William Marting as fresh- man coach, the circle is well rounded out and should produce results from the very beginning. Yale has the ma- terial for a representative eleven this autumn and with co-operation among the candidates, undergraduates and alumni, should prove more formid- able throughout the entire season than was the case a year ago. 1t must not be forgotten, however, will have Haughton back to direct a coaching policy which is now firmly established at Cam- bridge and that “Speedy” Rush at Princeton is well advanced along the same lines. Eastern college football has reached the point where it is lit- tle short of complicated science and success against well developed tems cannot be achieved in a months, Many close observers hold to the opinion that the new group of coaches will not attempt radical changes but rather revert. to some extent, to the the system in vogue before the slump of the past few year: While such changes as are necessary to bring the play up-to-date will of course, be in- few citement | details | outcome will be | | stalled, the coaches are likely to go back over the past few seasons and pick up broken threads, as Yale has had a coaching system since 1888. Previous to that date there was no coaching policy. From 1889 to 1895 {the captain did the chief coaching. advised by Walter Camp, and assisted by returning graduate players: Then ensued a period of ups and downs, during which all-season head coaches were in charge and no particular graduate support was given the cap- tains, and Brink Thorne’s and Jim Rodgers’ teams won striking suc- cesses. A third period then came in, of ten years, beginning with Mec- Bride's 1899 team, during which the | new traditional Yale football coaching system was developed. Under this system the captain had full power. Generally the preceding captain was head or field coach. Camp was chief adviser, and each year evervbody came back and was assigned special position-coaching to do. During this period Yale won both from Harvard and it times, tied once, and lost twice sixteen victories, two ties, and four | defeats. From 1910 to 1913, the old system wavered or was regained year by vear, each captain making at- | tempts to stem the tide of disaster due to a diversity of causes (not the least of which was the rise of strong- er competitors) and trying out new coaching systems. The last two years have seen a still more radical. effort made to reorganize, but without suc- cess. WAY TO BE A GIANT.
