YALE SIRE TCHES
3-FQOT START INTO.
3-LENGTH FINISH
Blue Leads Crimson for Four
Miles at New London
SUSTAINED STROKE WINS
Perfect Form of New Haven
Only Thrill in Annual
Race on Thames

New London, Conn, June 24.-Row-
ing a steady sustained stroke OF 81 to
the minute for the full four miles the
Yale varsity crew defeated Harvard's
eight by close to three lengths in the
feature race of the 55th regatta OF the
rival universities here late yesterday
afternoon. The story of the race Is
story of three.foot lead snatched
in the first few beats of the contest
gradually stretched into three-length
lead at the finish of the long four-mile
upstream row.
The contest wich savored more OF
we'll ordered procession rather than
battle of blades was without par
ticular thrill other than the perfect
form and oarsmanship shown by the
New Haven crew coached by the Eng
lish oarsmen George and Jim Cor
derry.
In this respect Harvard was not so
far behind but the final application
OF power so noticeable in the Eli blade
; work was missing to greater extent
in the beat Of the Crimson
The superiority Of the Yale crew is
well illustrated by the official time
for the race which was won in 81
minutes and SO seconds to Harvard's
20 minutes and six seconds. The win.
ner's time falls one minute and 81
! seconds behind the course record
made in 1916.
The triumph OF Yale varsity eight
coming after the double defeat in the
forenoon races when the Eli freshmen
were swamped in the first contest and
the Juniors were completely outclass-
ed in the contest for second varsity
shells, proved stimulating victory
to Ell rowing supporters last night.
For the second consecutive time in
two years Yale varsity crew had
turned back the Harvard favorites in
the big race of the annual intervarslty
regatta between these two famous
New England universities.
While there was no pronounced dis.
tress evidenced by the oarsmen OF
either crew at any period of the race
or after the finish, Harvards men ap
peared at times to swing slightly out
of line and the Crimson boatmen. par
ticularly those toward the bow, failed
to maintain perfect rhythm with the
stroke set by Brown.
This perfect synchropism was much
more pronounced in the manner II
which Stroke Ewing's swing wen
down through the Yale craft from
stern to bow.
The Crimson as the half mile flag,
= were passed left no doubt as to thu
, better combination and Harvard sup
3 porters had no excuses or albis to OF
2 fer for defeat.
The race was rowed under perfec
weather and water conditions and Il
marked contrast to the morning cor
tests when rough water and squall
> winds handicapped the contestants.

Six Iraprock
 Bids Submitted
 Opened Today

Six bids for the traprock which is to be used by the city on road con- struction and repair work this sum- mer, were opened this noon in the office of the Board Of Contract and Supply. by William E. Burnham, president of the Board of Apportion- ment.
 All of the figures submitted by the various contractors were a little over s2 per cubic yard, on 40, ,000 yards of rock. Prices on the material deliy- cred. or at the bins of the companies were given.
 Z Samples of all the traprock will now undergo a laboratory test, and it is probable that the contractor whose material shows the best result in this analysis will be awarded the con- tract
 Firms which submitted bids were F. P. Hastings, Iron Ledge company, New Haven Tnaprock company, Donherty Brothers, Karm Terminal company and Levercy & Hurley.
 The Brock Construction company entered a bid of 35 cents per cubic yard or 32 cents per ton, on hauling the material to the jobs.
 The cost of this material. which will probably amount to approxinlate- 1y s90,000. will be charged against the contingent, fund for the unen- pIoyed, and the order will be placed by Angus P. Thorne, superintendent Of the Charities Department

Tad Jones Raps
 Highbrow Rules
 For Grid Sport

New Haven, March 2s.-"Tad' Jones, head football coach at Yale. in a statement today on the present and future status of college football. de- c1ares that eff the situation requires high brow legislation, I suggest that the game be abolished entirely as a menace to the youth of the country"
 Speaking on the revision of foot ball activities at Yale. Harvard and Princeton as put forth by daily pub ucations of those universities, Coach Jones said. ''In my opinion there is little reason for eliminating practice prior to the opening of college and the consequent shortening of the schedule. There is more to be said in the way of eliminating all winter and spring practice and games before college opens. and I should be in fla vor of such a step.
 ''Intersectional games resulting in so called championships with resultant publicity can easily become a menace to the game. It appears to me that this is a matter of policy to be de- termined by the respective colleges.

 Although both Dr. Coon and MT. Zepp have ernphatically denied that the old crew of men who quit ~ sud- denly on Monday morning were ask ed to work Sundays, Tl1e new men who went to work yesterday say that they werc told they must appear every sunday to "clean the horses, shine up the harness, etc"
 They also say Ghat they were told to report ae 6:30 mornings and that 1t would be close to that time at night before they got through tending their herses: This was exactly the complaint made by the men who quit but denied by pr. Coon and MT. Zepp.

New York, March 29.-Casting aside as a remote possibility the pros pect of settling their differences in time to avert the general strike set for April 1, members of the anthra- cite subcommittee on wage contract negotiations today, girded themselves for a long hard struggle over the min ers nineteen demands.

 Although Sanguine of the ultimate success of the negotiations now in progress the six other members of the anthracite subcommittee, com posed of union chiefs and mine op- orators were convinced that the mines would be evacuated Saturday.
 Union Chiefs Arriving.

 Phillip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, scouts the report that importation of British mined soft coal will lessen the danger of bituminous coal shortage and thereby hurt the cause of the miners in the forthcoming strike.
