YALE VARSITY AGAIN ROWS FOUR MILE COURSE Coach Kennedy Announces 22:50 as Time in Third
 Trial. STRONG AT THE FINISH. The Beautiful Form Shown Brings Forth Favorable
 Comment.
(By Special Staff corespondent.)

Yale Headquarters, Gales Ferry, 1 mile course in two consecutive days is something of an innovation for Yale's | premier crew. The third trial against time was made Thursday night under conditions which must be regarded as favorable and the time as given out from Broadwiew by Coach John Ken nedy was 22 minutes, 50 seconds.
 The trial was not n-aae until quite l late in the evening, the launch, with the crew, on board and towing the shell, did not leave Yale dock until 6:3o D. m. At this time the wind was still blowing quite strongly tip the riv- CT and the flood tide was coming in. | The freshmen eight went out at the same time and received a good drilling over two miles down the river. The water was pretty lumpy and good wa ternanship was difficult, still the boys made very creditable showing. Con- siderIng the state of the water, the blade work was wonderfully clean and the men rowed well together. No change has been made In this boat. At the two mile flag the launch sped on, leaving the freshmen to paddle home on easy terms.
 The varsity eight loft the draw bridge at 7:1S:45, by which time the surface of the river had smoothed down considerably and the wind had died out to great extent. The crew finished in capital shape, every man pulling o. K. and not at all distressed. The eight possesses plenty of reserve strength, as the stroke at the finish !? was not higher than 2S.
 Information from Brdadview after
 the trial was to the effect that Rock
 we'll will be in the boat again to-day

 The appearance of the eight as they
 went up the river Thursday night was
 freely commented upon by spectators,
 the impression formed being in every
 instance favorable. The crew is nov ing like machine, every blade and :. every limb moving in unison. Every
 man in the boat, from goodfold reliable
 stroke Boulton up to Rockwell at bow
 is now an oarsmen, even though many
 of the men may be disignated green in f one sense of the term, as being new to
 work over four mile course. a On present form Yale has decidedly f the better of the argument
 n In the varsity four oar Auchinclos' d takes the place vacated by Rockwell 8 this being the only change made. Thi h crew had usual practice Thursda, e night, rowing down to the navy yarC e and back.
 n A conference will be held at Yal d quarters Saturday between Captail t Bacon of Harvard and Captain Ide 0
 Yale relative to a readjustment to tn l. layout of the course, This is believe n to be necessary on account of the pres e ence of too much eel grass on tn d course as now laid out. The questio {. of the appointment of third judge a 1T the finish line on regatta day will als W be discussed.
 This Is an innovation in rowing cir le cles on the Thames and much lnteres St Is felt in the outcome of the confer IS ence discussion this this point. Id Since the weather man has develope
