The Yale men are in good spirits, not
withstanding the natural disappointment
at the outcome of the race. After dinner
many of them visited the headquarters of
the other crews. They We're all glad to
break training
Langford said Of the future plans of the
crew; 1--WE have already discussed the
question to come to Henley again All of
us would be glad to do so. We now know
what is needed to insure success. Our
boat today proved unsatisfactory. 1t will
only depend on the permission of the
faculty and on the state of our funds
whether we come again"
Bob" Cook said TO a representative of
the Associated Press: 1--WE know what
beat us today, and the experience we have
gained of the English methods of racing
will amply repay US for our trip"
Tho English observers at Henley think
| that Yale's defeat was chiefly due to that
crews outfit and especially to the use of
suoh broad oars
