proved quite family affair. Alex Smith and

conditions but he made a open tournament

was the more remarkab bile the last eighteen

which made the greens slow and sOggy. He
quickly adapted himself 10 the changed oOndi-
tons. however, and gauged the strength OF the

were fast and true. He played hole after hole
with machinelike regularity and without a

more than offset by brilliant recOveries, which

COLLEGE ROWING.

The victory OF Harvard over Yale in the eight
Dared varsity shell race at New London on
Thursday was decisive. and, coming as it did
for the first time in seven years, was received
with wild acclaim by the Harvard followers.
While not rejecting in the least Yale's plucky
fight, il must be said that the Harvard crew ap-
peared TO be quite as well coached and better
trained. 1t was condition that counted in that
last half-mile OF the long. gruelling four-mile
race and made It possible for the Cambridge
oarsmen TO pull away from their game but
soundIy beaten rivals. Condition did not tell
the whole story, however, as the same men, If
not properly instructed in the art OF rowing,
would have been left far behind by the same
crew which had 20 acknowledge defeat. Herein
lies the chief cause for congratulatiOn by Har-
ward men, as with victory this year comes the
feeling that the right system has been found at
last and the right man TO teach it. For almost
ten years Harvard rowing has been in a chaotic
condition, because Of constant experimenting
under different coaches. Lehman. the great Eng
1ish rowing authority. tried to turn out win
ming crew for Harvard some years ago, but
failed. and since then the men have been in
structed IN as many styles as there were coaches
10 teach them. The English ideas and methods
were mixed up with the American style as
taught by Courtney and complicated with the
personal likes ana dislikes Of the particular coach
employed, until Harvard crews and Harvard
rowing came 10 be almost a joke, and defeat
followed defeat in the most exasperating and
<tsheartening way. Thoroughly disgusted. the
Cambridge rowing authorities then engaged
James Wray. a young coach, and gave him
trial. Last year the Harvard varsity gave Yale
real race. and hope sprang anew, and this year
came victory, for which much Of the credit must
"a ~ the coach and his methods 1t is hoped
that the experimental stage at Harvard is now
over for the time at least, and that Wray will
be allowed TO carry the work so well begun.
The success Of Harvard gives Cornell the for
ward place in the college rowing world, the
1thacans defeated the Cambridge crew on the
Charles River this spring. For all that, ii seems
a pity that the two eights could not have met
over a four-mile course when both had reached
the top OF their form.
