Two SUCCESSIVE vARs|T|Es|
Though the Yale Eight Was
a Good One It Fell Short
in Weight and Strength
of It's Old Time Antagon-
lists Crew.

New London, July 1.-Harvards
crimson blades swept Yale to defeat
in all three struggles on the Thames
river today in the annual regatta of
the two universities. The varsity
eight cared event was a magnificent
struggle from start to finish. This
is the first time since 1882 that Har-
ward has had as many as two con-
secutive victories, a fact that prob
ably will be ascribed to the adoption
fo a definite rowing policy.
More people saw today's race than
were ever before on the banks of the
Thames. and the varsity eight Dared
race alone was well worth the jour
ney thither. Yale's defeat was not
due to mishap, but simply the result
of an antagonist being a trifle more
powerful and little better off in re-
serve strength at the trying point,
which came after three miles.
Counting the minor events, Harvard
had six victories over the crews wear
ing the Yale blue.
Although Harvard won by a hand
some margin and administered a
crushing defeat to Yale, the race
was bitterly contested up to the last
half mile. All the way up the river
the two rowed with almost equal pre-
cision
For two and half miles Yale kept
within a boats length of her rival.
Then Harvard put on power and in
creased her lead to three. then to
four, finally to six lengths.
Yale spurted with her old time de-
termination, but in vain The official
record was:
Harvard-Half mile, 2:26; mile,
$40; two miles, 10:45; three miles,
6:1O; four miles, 21:5O.
Yale-Half mile 2:27; mile, SIP;
two miles, 1913; three miles, 1920
four miles, 22:10.
The winning distance was six
lengths
An explanation of Yale's defeat is
not difficult. The Harvard crew that
averaged almost six pounds to a man
heavier than Yale, was able to row
right through the race two strokes
to the minute faster than Yale and
still get out of this stroke her maxi
mum of speed.
Incidentally the race demonstrated
that Wray is the greater coach. Less
than two weeks ago, on the eve of
the contest he deposed Sargent,
man considered a great stroke, and
put in his place Roger Cutler, whose
physical proportions caused many
grave fears about the wisdom of the
change. 1t was this change, however.
that saved the race, for Sargent row.
ing in the form in which he had been
pacing the Crimson eight could not
have won.
The Harvard crew tonight elected
jesse Edwin Waid, 1910, of Denver,
captain for next year.

For Segregation Of Them Into

ASKS CONGRESS TO MAKE LAW.
Elk senator Patterson Explains THAT
He Had No Intention of Attack
Ing Clifford pincaot.

Denver, Aug 2O.-The agitation
over the Colorado forest reserves and
the activities of Clifford Pinchot broke
into open fire before the Transmissls-
sippi congress this afternoon, and ar
ter hot debate a resolution calling
ron Congressqfor law declaring for
division of the agricultural, min
eral and forest lands, was passed. 49,
The resolution was the one present
ed by former Senator Patterson OF
Colorado. 1t had been in committee.
for two days and the feeling was
abroad in the congress that 1t was
a covert attack on Pinchot, and this
assertion was made on the floor by
Frank GoWdy5of Denver, who opposed
the action.
Mr., Patterson said he had no IN
tention OF attacking Mr. Pinchot, and
wanted merely a settlement once for
5all of the Pinchot controversy, In.
which Y has been charged that Mr.,
E Pinchot has overlooked technicalities
In Hreserving forest lands.
instantly the floor was alive with
prospective speakers for and against
the resolution, and 1t continued to be
so until Mr.. GoWdy offered an amend
ment commenting the forestry poll
scles of the administration. This was
accepted by Mr.. Patterson, and In turn
Mr.. Gowdy accepted the Patterson
resolution. Both We're passed, and
the forestry DISPUTE which has been
the factor most feared through the
session.
The resolutions committee presented
a partial report and the clauses on the
following subjects were adopted:
That the income tax measure be-
come a law.
# That a tariff commission OF experts
be placed In service.
That Congress pass a law regulating
the use of grazing lands.
That Alaska be given territorial
Legislature
That Congress pass law preventing
the collection Of federal liquor revenue
In prohibition territory.
That aid be extended American ship
ping.
The principal speaker of the after
noon was Governor Hadley of Missou-
q ri, who dealt with the rate question
lin his state.
Governor Hadley declared that the
railway rebates and not the tariff Is
the mother Of trusts. He said that
one man was responsible for placing
the blame where it belonged and for
putting question on the rate evil
with such force that it has not shown
its head since, and that man was

HOW TO MEASURE

question to all seagoers. that of the

how to measure them, is answered by

Determination of the length of waves
at sea may be obtained by direct com
parison of the length of the observing
vessel with the length from crest to
crest of the waves over which she Is
riding. and when ships are sailing in
company, good estimate of the length
