 Gales Ferry, June 9.-The Yale row ing coaches have not yet finished mak- ing changes in the two varsity boats and the unsettled condition resulting in ragged work and the race with Har- yard but little more than a fortnight away is causing some little uneasiness. The worry and excitement incident to the recent changes this afternoon re- suited in Auchincloss being taken from the four car crew and put at No. in the varsity eight in place of Whittier. The change is only temporary, Whittier having become a trifie overtrained.
 The freshmen were the first to go out on the river this afternoon. They went up stream one mile and returned, covering the distance in two stretches. The men rowed easily, keeping the stroke between 26 and 32. Although the men are high on the catch the work was quitesatisfactory.
 The varsity eight did not go out on the river until 6:15. They rowed up stream about two miles at half speed. Some of the men still hang on the catch, in tact this seems to be general ten dency throughout the boat, and the catching this afternoon was for the purpose of eliminating this fault.
 The work of the varsity four was ragged because of the numerous changes which have been made of late. The crew rowed this afternoon as fol- lows: Box, Meier; No. 2, .Daly; No. 3, Bailey; stroke, Adams. Meier is tenn porarily taking the place of Johnston, who is overtrained. Daly has displaced Fish and the change will probably be permanent.
 The oarsmen are spending their spare time playing table tenins and quoits, which have been furnished by Julian Curtiss.
 The Harvard coachers are giving the Crimson oarsmen plenty of hard work and from present indications there will be no let-up this week. The time row of the varsity yesterday did not tire the men and they are keeping their weights in good shape. and some of them have gained since coming to Rep Top.
 This afternoon the freshmen were taken out first and given four miles hard work padding. They rowed down stream at a very low stroke, MT. Per- kins coaching the crew and getting a slow recovery. It is hoped that Pleas anton. who strolsed the crew in Cam bridge, will be able to come here. His services are badly needed as Guild, who is stroking the crew at present, is too big for the position and does not get life into the crew. . The varsity eight left the float at 6:30 and put in some hard work. They row. ed in fours st a very low stroke and the whole attention of the men was di- rected towards getting forward without causing hitch in the boat. After half a mile Of this work. and a little indi- vidual coaching, the crew was sent off rowing about twenty-eight strokes to the minute. The water was smooth and the crew did its best work of the sea- son. They finished down stream about half Q mile from the drawbridge and gradually hit up the stroke toward the end, finishing at 32, but at this speed the boat did not travel as well as with the lower stroke. Coming up stream the crew stopped every mile and then went over the last mile on time. There was g. good tide and stern wind favoring the to,y4 i,.on% r1ax
 The four-oared crew worked alone this afternoon and took several hard stretch es and showed good forn.-~
