| Yesterdays Yale News remarks edi-
torially of the spring regatta: 1T will
be more of an event than it has been
| for some time. Years ago it was en-
! tered almost exclusively by what we
| now call scrub crews but these were
much better organized, and, in fact,
gradually merged into the class Fights
| This scrub-crew plan was revived at
| last years regatta, and has proved a
very great success, arousing more en-
thusiasm this spring and making men
do faithful training and hard work for
! the races during three or four weeks.
1t is good fun and exercise. and the
| trophy offered by the navy makes it
certainly worth while"
