 FOR YALE OARSMEN Crew Leave Freshmen Far Behind in Afternoon
 Brush.
KENNEDY IS SATISFIED
Practicing Starts and Eradi- cation of Individual Er-
 TOTS the Order Now.
(From Special Staff Correspondent

NrAoh cpeclal StaH correspondent Yale Headquarters, Gales Ferry, June 20.-John Kennedy has evidently made up his mind that very few, if in deed, any time trials are needed to as- certain the merits of the men in the varsity eight. Ill fact MT. Kennedy admitted on Thursday that it was very likely the crew would devote all it's att tention for the remainder of the train ing to practcing starts and to the cor rection of individual errors in oarsman- sh;O.
 It was the intention of Yale to send the big crew over the full course to-day but at the time decided upon the wind was altogether too boisterous to be pleasant or to afford any good opportu- nity to improve the form of the crew. The fact that Harvard had it's oars men down the line may have had lit tie to do with the abandonment of the time trial, but if the water had been really good it is a sure thing the boat would have covered the course, liar ward or no Harvard. Failing the time row, Yale varsity eight busted itself tonight knocking the conceit out of the freshman eight, which crew was supposed to be taking on few airs on account of improvement in form.
 The shells did not leave the float un- til D. m. and even then there was a nasty swash on the river which prom ished a good drenching to venturesome oarsmen and fulfilled the promise. On easy even terms the two eights rowed up stream, turning after one and one half miles had been covered.
 With the freshmen leading slightly the shells started down with a regular swinging stroke of 30, which was to- ward the finish raised to 32. Opposite Yale quarters when Coxswain Barkalow sang out vast the varsity was lead ing by several boat lengths.
 The varsity eight was doing splendid work and after beating the freshmen continued right along to Bartlett's, pos sibly to show the occupants of the launch that they had lots of energy il reserve,
 The feature of Wednesday evening" rowing-the race between scratch fouri from each camp-was repeated to- night. The Harvard four, somewha reinforced, came along in front O Brcadview and found the Yale mel willing to give them show for theii reputation as oarsmen. It was just like taking pennies from a blind man fol Yale, as when the two shells swep down past Yale dock the superio training of John Kennedy and that in domitable Yale spirit carried the Yal boat away ahead. Good spirit prevail ed, and all courtesies in the way 0 recognition were accorded the van quished oarsmen by Yale crews ant spectators. The Harvard boys returnet the compliment to the utmost of thei lung power.
 The Yale shell was occupied by God ley, stroke; Peyton 3, Blair 2, Babcoch bow, Holmes conswain. In the Harvar shell were Lunt, stroke; Amberg, 3 Vogel, g. Mcleod, bow, and Adams coxswain.
 Rough water during the practice b the eight-oared crews, which were ac companied part of the way by tn varsity four. prevented the oarsme from showing up in their best form, bu although the shells were shipping wa ter right along the blade work was as tonishingly clean and fine, The mos rigid scrutiny failed to reveal an check, the shells spacing out nicely
 The partially formed decision of Coac Kennedy to abstain from further trial of his men over the four miles may | taken to mean that he has arrived a a conclusion as to the merits of h crew and that during the numerou hard spins over the court last week | has eliminated from the boat ever weak spot It is thought around qual ters that the grand old man of Yal aquatics has his 'versity eight jus where they can be relied upon to rt spend to any call for increase of spec and that for the remainder of the traii ing he will content himself with keeI ing the crew just as 1t is, doing enoug daily practice to keep them down fir until the day of the regatta.
 The Yale baseball defeat to-day hs saved a lot of good frewood. but HaI yard may utilize some of 1t fe hours before the Journal and Court, goes to press.
