LONDON, June 20.-Yale experimental with
new oars to-day. and despite the loss Of Long
acre at No. q and Coxswain Clarke the longer
sweeps and narrower blades worked we'll. Long
acre was suffering from neuralgia and tooth
ache yesterday, and had two teeth extracted
Clarke Is suffering from severe sore throat.
First Trinity loaned her coxswain to Yale, and
Englshmen along the river were much SUR
| rrsed. Yale adapted themselves easily to tho
change OF oars, and all spoke favorably of to-
| days work.
Yale rowed half the course In 3 minutes %
seconds this morning and in minutes 81 SEQ
onds this evening. The new oars are likely To
enable Yale to row a high stroke at the start
and hold the Englishmcn. Even by putting the
stroke high as they do, the Ieander and New
College crews have not shown greater speed,
but they have the advantage of more ex-
perienced oarsmen. Their crews have been
| shaken together by coaches with wonderful
celebrity.
Yale's first four men in the boat are all slow
| to learn. and they handicap the entire crew.
Bob Cook is greatly annoyed by these men and
| rather doubtful about Yales chances Of win
ming even the first hoat II drawn against Lean
der or New College.
Yale's chances now depend on rapid improve
ment, aided by new oars change in slides. and
finally, II necessary, by putting the stroke up.
Yalo gives a grand garden party at Marsh
Mills House on Thursday. Ambassador Bayard,
| the Duchess OF Marlborough, and other notables
have been invited.

Mr.. Ellington. the rowing expert of tho Field.
gives his Impressions to the United Press aa
The Yale crew have improved in the last
two days. To-day they used English oars and
rowed II longer stroke, with more body swing.
The Leander and New College crews at present
seem to be faster than Yale, and their form will
be better yet. SO. also. will iale's probably.
There has been no alteration IN the form OF the
