 ! Since the Vale first boat went over
 the course in record time, last Sat | urday, there hasn't been nearly so | much gloom in New Haven about race l prospects. This is the way Albert H. i Barclay. '91, who was there, put it: Yale and Harvard enter upon the last 1 ten days of training for the annual regatta under conditions that are cer- ! tain to arouse unusual interest in the l races on June 18th. Yale has this year made an unprecedented effort to | regain her lost prestige in boating 1 and neither expense nor effort has been spared in order to get results. l But in spite of this, the season has been marked with discouraging inci- dents that have put to the most severe ed with it. The experience of the sec
 ond crew at Philadelphia and of the | first crew at Ithaca, left everyone fin 1 the air" so to speak Yale did not go to Philadelphia and to Ithaca ex- pectfng defeats, but entered these i races because the Yale crews had 1 been rated as fast. The situation at ! Gales Ferry during the past week has, | therefore, not been aan easy one for
 either coaches, advisors or the oars- | men. On Saturday morning. however, | the first substantial hope of the year l loomed up in the shape of two re- | markable time races. The university,
 rowing down stream with a good tide | and fair quartering of the wind that made lumpy water on the last mile
 and half covered the four miles in 19 minutes and o4 seconds. A little l later the freshmen rowed two miles in 10 minutes. seconds, and defeated the second university eight by i've boat lengths
 Commenting on this time. Mir. Bar clay said that it had never been equal led by & Harvard crew, and had been beaten only three times in the long history of Yale rowing on the Thames The record for the course in a race
 Is 20 minutes, 10 seconds. In 1907. | In practice, Yale dld 1e minutes. 27 seconds; in 1902, 1s minutes AT sec onds; in 1891, 19 minutes 51 seconds. Time rows are often misleading on tloe water courses, but any crew that rows the New London course under pfcked conditions of wind and tide in less than 21 minutes is a fast crew. and ascrew that gets below 20 minutes is going in record time. The stroke was kept at 92 all the way.
