Harvard Wants shorter Rowing
COurse.s s.
One thing that may figure rather con-
spicuously in the matter of. renewing ath-
letic relations between Harvard and Yale
is the length of the cNlrse.ithat the crews
row over at New London-E Formerly 1t has
been four miles,, but H, &c Storrow, who
for two years has abeepdhead coach of the
Harvard crew, is nowfstronsly advocating
a change to three-mile course.
Year before last and flasts, year Harvard
lei the blue crew at the ,three-mile mark,
but, owing to Hardingssg collapse in 1900
and YaleS great squirt last June, Yale now
has two victories standingato her credit
Il is likely now that thes matter ef shorten
ing the course will receive. the most careful
consideration. and 1t might possibly cause
hitch In making the pew agreement with
Yale. -
