Gales Ferry, June l5.-There was nothing doing In Yale training quarters Monday forenoon, and not much more in the evening A breeze set in up the river during the early morning and freshened gradually until by the time the oarsmen were ready to go out the whltecaps were out in full force on the stream and the crews had to be sat isled with such exercise as could be had around quarters.
 In the evening things had a similar appearance and until D, m, the opin- ion was that no rowing would be done. However, at that time Kennedy order ed the crews out noticing Q slight re- ductlon in the wind.
 The boats were all sent up stream, all the men holding the positions held the end of last week The varsity eight and freshmen were taken over a stretch of six miles in all, no effort be- Ing made to push the boats or extend the crews. The varsity finished strong | ly. giving a clean exhibition. and com ! Ing over the last half mile at a steady 30 clip. This crew maintains form and condition and from present indications will be very close to the finish line l when the race ends.
 l Troubles are not over yet with the freshmen, and It is probable that Hyde, ] who has been out of the boat for sev- | eral days on account of boils may be i back in the shell today. Mir, Kennedy l stated tonight that Hyde would go back If we'll enough, and he made a | fair showing In the pair oar, doing some easy rowing In front of quarters after the crews came in, Bogue, who l has occupied Hyde's place, Is rowing we'll and the final makeup of the fresh men eight depends upon the next few days
 The fours remain unchanged, the two rivals for varsity four honors keeping each other close company, the boats seldom being separated by more than three or four lengths.
 In Harvard quarters there was little real life Monday night, It was easy work for all boats. In tho varsity eight Sydney Fish, at No. 2, went 10 Cam bridge on matters connected with his studies, but Is expected to resume his place in the boat either tonight or We'd nesday. Tonight Coach Wray took the
 vacant oar and pulled with the varsity to the navy yard and back. It Is said that the boys hit up the pace pretty lively and that Jim Wray was well winded when he came ashore.
 Tn the Harvard four oar there is like ly to be a shift. Charles Morgan Jr., who has been at stroke In the earlier part of the training and who was changed with r. Cutler at No. 2 went to Cambridge Sunday and may not re- join the rowing squad this season. Morgan is suffering from some injury 10 his scapula just what has not been given out, and will have an X-ray ex- lamlnatlon to locate the trouble His place was filled Monday by r. Race. and there will likely be tryont for the place.
 At Yale quarters tonight there was only little excitement. CoXswain cass, who objected strongly to going over board last week was again captured and fired aans ceremony into the river, The Princeton ball game today Is absorbing interest, and preparations for a big bonfire in the event of Yale victory have been made.
 It was reported tonight that Harvard freshmen did two mile row up stream in l0:O5 good time, but with every thing in favor of the crew. Strong up- river tides have been running for a few day. and this must be taken Into con eidcration when figuring on time re- ports given out
 Bob Cook legitimately enough styled the father of Yale oarsmen, arrived in INales Ferry from Pennsylvania, Sun day evening and may remain until the regatta Is over. Mir. Cook saw Monday evenings practice and expressed him self well pleased with the showing of the crews under MT. Kennedy's charge From the standpoints of health and oarsmanship there was nothing to be desired.
 Mir Cook will take the opportunity 10 call on old time friends while al Gales Ferry and renew acquaintance ship Bob was captain and stroke oar of the first Yale crew which roweo against Harvard. This was, sait George St. John Sheffield, in '76 ant Yale won. The next race was rowet at Springfield, and Harvard carried of the laurels.
 Since that time the name of Bof Cook has been as magic in Yale row ing circles, where he has been helt in much the sanie measure of esteen with which John Kennedy has beer regarded in more recent years. = Mir Cook few years after pulling . stroke in the '76 winning boat wa' | sent to Europe by Yale and upon hi return introduced modified form o \ the celebrated English stroke, mi: policy marked the commencement c' r a series of victories for Yale and thu 1. credit of this during that period be- I longs largely to Mir. Cook.
