 At the meeting of the rowing en-
 thusiasts Captain Snowden attributed last years defeat to the impossibi1ity
 of changing from an old stroke to z
 new one fin so short time. He start
 ed fall rowing on Monday. William H Corbin of Hartford, of the crew of 188i
 which rowed the course in the rec.
 ord time of 20 minutes 10 seconds
 spoke of the decadence of Yale ath,
 letics in the past few years. No stu. | dent now in college had seen a vic.
 torious Yale crew. Only the seniors
 have seen a championship team in any
 sport. There has been a feeling among 1 many graduates that Yale men art trying for their Y's rather than for l victory, indeed, the honor and valu,
 of the Y has been somewhat lost.
 Chairman c. B. Allen of the rowini
 committee for two years on the crew
 believed rowing seriously undertaken
 as good as any ten college courses, h,
 said.
