Yale, He Says, IL Willing to Row
Harvard Any Time After June ~.
Robert ]. Cook, the Yale oarsman and
coach, has made q statemeet to the Asso-
ciated Press relative tdsthe controversy be-
tween the athletic assdsiatib his of Harvard
and Yale universities. aid Particularly with
reference to the alligator attributed, in a
dispatch from Cambridge, Mass, to DIR.
Brasford of Harvard. and printed in Wed
nesday's Star, to the effect that during a
visit to Cambridge Mr. Cook had sought to
dictate a date for the Yale-Harvard boat
race impossible to Harvard. Mr.. Cook
said:
THE statement with reference to the
status negotiated between Yale and Hair
ward concerning the boat race, as sent out
by the Associated Press from New Haven
some three days ago, was correct in its
details. The report coming from Cam
bridge yesterday that Yale has made the
preposterous demand that the Harvard
Yale boat race should be held on a date
decided upon by the Yale authorities, and
that this was announced by me to be the
day after the Cornell race, is incorrect:
nor was. It asserted that Yale should insist
upon rowing at New London. On the con-
trary. Yale waived her preference for row.
ing at New London, and is willing to row
at Poughkeepsie.
1.-The real obstacle in the way of an ar
rangement for the boat race is the demand
of Harvard that Yale shall row on or he
fore June 10 The Yale faculty will not
permit the crew to leave New Haven for
their. training quarters until after the close
of the term and examinations, which will
not be earlier than June r. Har-
ward is engaged to meet Cornell some time
between the Goth and Both of June, and
the Harvard managers; have said that there
should be an interval Of at least two weeks
between a race with Cornell and one with
Yale. In view of this condition confront
ing the Yale crew, Yale is willing to row
Harvard anywhere or at any date con-
venient to them after June u.
Since the last meeting between Mr.
Camp. who Is authorized to act for Yale,
and DR.. Brooks of Harvard, there has been
practically no change in the situation"
