HARVARD EXP CTS
TO WIN FROM YALE
BETTER COACHING SYSTEM If
THE CRIMSON GIVES HER OARS.
MEN ADVANTAGE.
(By Associated Press.)


New London, Conn.,, June 19.-On
the eve of the forty-eighth regatta be-
tween the crews of Harvard and Yale
universities the same uncertainty pre-
walls that has marked the night before
the annual aquatic contest of the
Thames river for the past few years.
it is conceded that the Yale combina-
tion, composed of powerful oarsmen
contain possibilities that cannot be dis
regarded.
In fact it is the tried and proven
coaching system of the Crimson navy
as opposed to the Yale experimental
methods that causes the Cambridge
crews 10 stand as popular choices to-
night For the past six years Harvard's
varsity eights have decisively defeat
ed the Blue oarsmen and in some sea
sons the varsity four and freshmen
eights have followed suit, sweeping
the river under the coaching of Jim
Wray During this period of Crimson
successes the Yale coaching policy has
undergone several changes, none Of
which has been productive of victory
Under the circumstances it IL but ma

ber of the English Leander crew, with

race, victory for Yale is far from an
impossibility. Should it develop, as
was the case last June, that the Blue
crewmen become demoralized by Har-
wards machine like stroke and early
lead there can be but one outcome to
the race In their anxiety to increase
the power and speed of the stroke each
oarsman will row at variance with his
and a procession Will result
with Harvard setting the pace. This
was the case in 1918 and with that ex-
perience still firmly fixed in their
minds the Yale rowing authorities have
labored hard to prevent its repetition.
Consequently the race is expected
to resolve itself into a test of the ef-
ficiency of the coaching systems of the
university navies. Wray and Harvard
are synonymous whenever college row
ing is discussed, and his record since
he signed his first contract to coach
the Crimson crews have been one OF
success. The same cannot
be said of the Yale system in recent
years. Professional and amateur
coaches, both English and American
have been tried. but to date the results
have not been satisfactory. Many
close observers of the situation have
claim ed that the poor showing was due
to the lack of continuity of anyone

food, and 50 on Each of the girls par

both sides are invited to a series of fes-

actual wedding. which usually takes place
week later. is spent by the future hus-

their parents and friends, appear before
the priest, who duly unites them. The
procession then returns to the house of

At the close of the day, two old women
conduct the bridegroom to the bridal
ROOM where on a huge bedstead. amid a
multitude OF pillows, holsters and cover

three nights the old women stay with

left unnoticed by the coy bride. After
this somewhat trying ordeal the old wom-

are left alone to take up the threads of

MYSTERY Of HOARDED
