HARVARD "AIN,T IN IT,"

This 10 she Crlticism of . Newspaper
 Man on she Cambridge Crew-The
 Yale Harvard Freshmsn Cannot
 Agres-The other CreWs Dusy.
 NEW LONDON, June BOA wsll-known newspaper man of this oity, who has follow. cd the races very closely ever sinoe the col. lsge ersws began races on the Thames and who has had an opportunity for judging the different crsws, said to-day that, In his opinion, and to use . well~known phrase, "Hsrvard ain't In 1t" this year. When pressed for his reasons for thinking thus, the newspaper man replied: "In the first sy. They move slowly and awkwardly and ere not quick at all. Their movements in the boat show this conclusively. Whatever uaav be the merits or demerits of their stroke Id 10 patent to my mind that the present crew don't know how to TOW N." During tho past week an effort has been made, 1t would appear. to boom Harvard and . number of stories have been sent out
 to the effect that the crew was making great
 time on the river in their practice pulls. It
 may be that the time made has been correctly
 reported, but inasmuch as the time has only been taken for mile or 90, 1t does not indi-
 cate anything in particular. The conviction
 is gradually growing that Yale is to have
 another regulation walk-over, and the only
 thing against the Yale crew at present Is the
 feet that the men themselves think 50. However. the Yale crew is doing its reg
 ular work on the river and Is praoticing
 hard to ret into the form required by the never satisfied Bob Cook. It has been re-
 ported that the Harvard and Columbia fresh-
 men were to have roHed tonight, but as
 matter of fact no race was arranged for to- night or for this week for that matter. It Is
 probable. that the Harvard and Columbia
 {reshmsn will race, but tho exact time for
 Wns only two races have been scheduled.
 Ons is the triangular race between the var sity crewp of Columbia, Cornell and Pennsyl- vania, which is to come of next Tuesday, and the ether .is the Yals-H Harvard race of Friday. Tuesday will see the arst race and Friday the and the .Psnnsylvania freshman racs will probably take place on Wednesday and Thursday. It is certain that no race will occur after Friday. There is no pros. psct sf the Yale and Harvard freshmsn get ting together. The two crews have wanted race for long time but the negotiations have come to naught. The trouble appears to bs that each side wants the earth 70 far as the conditions of the race are concerned, and e neither side is willing to make any con. csssions, tho result is thst no race can be arr ranged. Those who know most about tho matter srs inclined to think that the whole difasulty liss in the fact that each side is afraid of the other, and that neither sincere l ly desires . raee.
