FAVORED
FOR ANNUAL RACE
Time Trials Show Crimson Oars
men Slightly Faster Than
Yale Rivals at New London.

NEW LONDON. Conn. June H.-Fol-
lowing their time rows Saturday night
the aquatic squads of Harvard and
Yale have spent considerable time esti-
mating their respective chances. The
general conclusion Is that Harvard has
@ slight edge on the sons of Eli for the

and freshman eight-oared events, while
the Ellis look a trif1e better In the junior

faster than Yale. which rowed over the
the Crimson crew as having found its
speed at last. Admittedly OF stronger
and more experienced material than
Yale, the Harvard eight did not ex-
ceed Yale's time until Saturdays trials.
Harvard's freshman eight Is regarded
the strongest brought to the Thames
in years, Quimby. No. 7. and Taylor,
No. 6, being of varsity caliber. Stroke

Yale's second varsity eight coached
by Giannini, the former new YORK a.
c. coach. showed more speed In the time
trials as compared with those Of its
Harvard rivals lIll Saturday, when the
Harvard reserve oarsnien made the two
miles in ten minutes. two seconds, the
same as Yale's best time.
In the regatta next Friday Yale fig
ures on rowing a thirty stroke and tir-
ing Harvard so badly In keepinR
abreast, rowing a thirty-one stroke, that
Yale will have more reserve power left
for the final half mile.
Harvard expects to push the stroke
to thirty-two and to compel Yale to llft
it's pace to the same power which Har-
ward believes Yale cannot hold. At any
rate the crew that falters at the three
and one-haIf miles will lose the race.
All the crews spent most of Sunday or
Long Island Sound. the Yale varsity
