WOefuI MiSmanagen1ent
Marked Dual Regatta
Committee in Charge Had Childish Case of
RattIes and Public Was DiSquSted
Harvard Lamentably Weak

NEW LONDON. Conn. July THE
defeat of Harvard in the dual match
with Yale yesterday was a severe
blow for Fred Colson. the head coach
who became famous IL the rowing world
as captain and sOXswain Of Cornell's
crew several years ago. Colson, accord
ing TO reports that have been in circuld-
doE among college men recently. has
not enjoyed absolute control Of the row
ing affairs OF The Crimson. In fact. 1t
is stated on pretty good authority that
Colson and Dillingham;. the Harvard
captain, have been at loggerheads on
more than one occasion recently. Fur
thermore. il IS asserted that several
members OF the crew favored the SUBJ
SutUtioE of a stronger man physically
for Dillingham;. while another yarn sets
forth friction between one or two mem
bers of the eight and the varsity cox
swain. With so much smoke il IS nat
Ural 10 believe that there must be some
fire underneath the woodpiIe. but at
that. those stories were vigorously de-
MED by several Harvard Synpathi-ers.
Whether there has been trouble IN the
Harvard camp or not does not alter the
fact that the crew was subjected 10 one
OF The worst defeats ever inflicted BIZ
Yale on the Thames. IL was such a
hollow victory that those who had put
zap with the inconvenience OF the town
over night to see the race were sorry
that they did not go home yesterday
afternoon.

Washington's chances in the peoples
regatta have been seriously affected by
the mishaP of yesterday. The shell
which was irreparably broken yester-
DAY was one built especially for racing.
and, by 4 coincidence. was particularly
designed for a light crew. such as the
Potomac Boat Club junior eight II
was built about two years ago by spe-
cial order for the Passaic club. which
had a bitter feud on with another club
in the same town, and no expense was
spared to insure victory In match

club went up and the PotOmacs bought

which they are not accustomed. Before
the accident the critics in the club con-
sIdered that their junior eight had
chance with any other junior crew IN
the country. II IL wins under present
circumstances the crew viii deserve

tomacs he agreed to let them have II

Too Late to Turn.
Wilma from the storm struck the eight
above the Aqueduct Bridge but it was
too late 10 turn, and the crew shot un-
der the bridge IN the hope that the pun
would soon be over. On the other side
the wind blew harder and the water be-
came dangerously rough.
IL was decided 10 run for the AnalOs-

effort would probably nave been sue
