RIVAL -CREWS ON THE RIVER Harvard Varsity Shows Fine Form Over the Full Course— Stroke 36 to 38 in Lut Mile—Rough Water Interferes With Yale Practice—Bob Cook Working With Varsity. Coach Wray sent the Harvard var- sity eight over the full four mile course on the Thames Tuesday after- noon, and the men rowed in fine form, mach improvement being noticed since the Cornell race. The water was rough at the start, and, the average stroke was 26, although at the last mile it was increased to 36 and 38. The | crew paddled back to gquarters and Coach Wray watched -the freshmen work for three miles. Withington re- placed Captain Trumbull at No. 5 in the freshman boat for the afternoon. The four oar crews had only light practice. B. F. Herrick of Boston, a meémber of the graduate advisory rowing com- mittee, was a visitor at quarters dur- ing the day amd watched the crews work., £ Speed by the Varsity. in ‘the meorning unfavorable water eonditions and examinations for all the men cut down the work of the Har- vard oarsmen cansiderably, none of the boats having more than a short row in the morning. The varsity. eight paddled down the river for a mile and | & half and on the returm trip hit it up to a high stroke for the first half mile, | the stroke never dropping below 30. They rowed back slowly over the re- maining distance to quarters. boat moved through the water in fair shape. There haye been ne changes in the boat since leaving Cambridge, and the indications are that, there would be none. ¢ ; The men are §éated as follows: | Stroke, Newton; 7, Mefcalf; 6, Strong; 6. Mills; 4, Geedale; 3, Revnolds; 2, Eager; bow, Balch; coxswain, Abeles. The varsity fours took a short pad- dla and then tried ‘a couple of racing | starts. The freshmen did. practically the same thing. g Goose Gregse for Sunburn. To guard against severe sunburn_all | the members of the Harvard squad have been coated with a preparation of goose grease that is expected to pre- vent much of the suffering that has marked their rowing in former seasons, ‘Thisz is a praetieal measule, as oars- men have passed many sleepless nights in the past because of the intense sun- burn. The fact that extreme heat greeted the oarsmen upon their arrival has made some protection of this kind imperative. Dr. Young, who accom- panied the rowing squad here, believes that the measure will avoid much an- noyance for the oarsmen, Exactly the same arrangement of tents and cottages has been made for the varsity and freshmen ogramen this meason as in past years. The freshmen have the historic old Bolles house at Red Top, which sheltered the varsity oarsmen for many college generations. The varsity have the old Brown home- stead on the plateau a half mile from the freshman quarters, and they have also the half dozen cottages that ex- tend in the shape of & half moon from the Brown cottage around the plateau. Motor Boat for Coaching. Coach *'Wray has come to the con- elusion that his pet system of coach- ing. that of fallowing the crews in his mingle scull, has some advantages, but that it is not quite up to date. He has vartially"adopted the motor boat Pup, owned by Tuder Gardner, for following the crews. Head Coach Rodgers of the Yale squad races up and down the river in Payne Whitney's Tarpon. It is admitted at the Harvard quarters that the task that confronts Coach ‘Wray isthe adapting the stroke of the crew to a four. mile. race. It is not felt that this will be as great as it was lagt.vear. The pull through and the re- vr:_‘-r'ure the points of “the " stroke mHch Wray aims to change most rad- feally during the two weeks before race time. 'Thdre s a tendency to shorten the btroke‘and to rush' the 'slide that Wray 'is,at work upon. These faults Bre, not. however, so glaring as last year when.the varsity eight arrived at Red.Top. 3 O i i Harvard's Splendid Physique. Boating men upon_ the Thames are “elighted at the physical form of the JHarvard squad, FEvery. athlete seems The | i - usual,- has plenty of fire and dash. ¥ technique is still faulty and the boat | noon. well seasoned, bronzed and condition- ed almost to the hour. The freshman eight, although clearly lighter lhflx; exbibited too much splashing in its {irst row. Light Practice for Yale Varsity. All the Yale crews were on the water for light practice Tuesday after- The water was rough and no attempt was made for speed. Coach Bob Cook followed the varsity eight { i r | for three miles upstream and Coach ! Rodgers devoted his attention to the second varsity eight in a three mile’ row down the river. Visitors at quarters were Fred Stevenson, captain of the record break- | ing 1888 crew, and E. S, Harkness, 1897., Second Varsity Covered Five Miles. The Yale varsity men of the first eight were sent out in pair oars in the morning for practice. The second varsity eight which was made up Mon- day later had a five mile row. The freshman eight rowed about three- fourths of a mile down and back. The | morning was a very quiet one, as most of the men had to devote their time to examination papers. . Blue” Needs Higher Stroke. After five days’ rowing on the Thames the Yale crews have yet to push their stroke above 30. The coach- es have not yet gained a high stroke or speed in any form and the remainder of the week will be devoted to an at- tempt to praduce it. At no time since the varsity eight arrived at Gales Fer- ry has it been taken in charge by Head Coach Rodgers. He has turned the crew over to the veieran. Bob Cook, who is trying to eradicate faults inci- dent to the restoration of the Cook stroke. Rodgers has given his atten- tion to the freshmen and to the varsity four and he has just indugurated an interesting experiment in reuniting the second varsity eight which was dis- banded last weak to form two fours. As put upon the water the eight is rowing as follows: Stroke, Lip- pincott; 7, Ives: 6, Yorl 4, Philbin; 3, Pease; 2, Richards; cox, Badger. The boat will be put on the water on occasion for several days in order to develop speed in the arsity eight through competition. Coach Rodgers laughs at the story that there is a chance that the second eight may be sent to the starting mark in place of the regulars. It is true, however, that th> second eight defeated the varsity in nearly etery spin on the New Haven harbor during the spring practice and alsn in the spring regatta Beck of Washington Out. The varsity squad has lost one of its mest powerful members through some technicality, Beck, the former captain and stroke of the University of Wash- ing erew. He left Gales Ferry Monday night. Although Beck was not regard- ed as a likely candidate for the varsity eight because of his failure to master the Bob Cook stroke, there has been a chanece that his splendid strength and form might be utilized in the varsity four. He has gene to his home in Chi- cago. The veteran Jim Sculi in either boat, the eight or the four, at present, although he rowed a hard oar in last season's Yale-Harvard race. He is still at Gales Ferry, but disposition of the coaches concerning him issmet certain. Shakeup in Freshmen. Sid Coe, who has handled Yale crews for 20 years as conditioner, has a rived. He was unable to come befor because of his date with the Yale track athletes at the intercellegiate gam During his absence the oarsmen were in charge of Charles 8. Porter, the freshman trainer. Coach Harriman has made another shakeup in the freshman eight, which is now rowing as. follows: Stroke, Crocker, son: 6, Coe; Denegre: 4, Meyer ¥ Harrison: ano; bow, Jutte; cox, Matthews. . Osbern and Stillman had been rowing at Nos. 5 and 4 respec- tively till Monday.

Gold Watch Chain ‘and Charm Pre- sented Him By Mill Employes. Not in decades has Uncasville seen €0 many people on its streets as oan Monday right, when C. E. Sweet, for many vear: uperintendent of the Un- ille Manufacturing company’s cot- ton mills, there, who recently severed his connections with the company, was treated to a genuine surprise by the employes of the mills, who marched in a body to his home, headed by Wal- den's cornet band, to bid him fare- well before leaving town, which will be in a day of two. The line was formed at the band- rooms and the procession marched to the postoffice and thence to the resi- dence of Mr. Sweet, where they filled the spacious -lawn, the band playing appropriate selections. When Mr. weet made his appearance on the ve- renda. the storm of enthusiasm hroke and its-cordiality must have pleased Mr. Sweet, and left no doubt in the minds of outsiders as "to ‘the esteem and affection by which he was held by those who have labored together with him in the mills for many years. J. C. Platt, on behalf of the mill cperatives, assured Mr. Sweet of the genuine and unfeigned regret that has been expressed in every department of | the mills over his going away, and i pr ited” him a beautiful solid gold 14 rat wateh, chain and charm.
