ing a hard time at best to get his men
into racing condition for the contest with
Yale on Lake Carnegie next Saturday
but he practically had TO throw one more
day out of consideration so far as actual
polishing is concerned. A high wind that
amounted TO little less than a gale was
blowing across the lake this afternoon at
rate that beat UP choppy waves OF
sort which made smooth rowing almost
impossible.
Captain Briggs and his eight moved
into the new boathouse this afternoon
temporarily, for II will not be formally
opened until next spring. The Yale crew
will be accommodated in the new house
while in Princeton and will be the hrst
visiting crew TO use il.
The difficulties encountered by the men
in rowing from the old boathouse 10 the
new one were such that they shipped
water several times on tho way. and were
forced to give up the idea Of going over
tho course.
