Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 3.-The Har-
ward rowing camp will be transferred
from the Charles to Red Top, Conn.
one week from tomorrow, after which
the final touches on the preparation for
the four mile race with Yale on June 23
will be applied. The Ellis will open their
New London quarters at Gales Ferry
fully a week earlier.
The reason the Harvard squad is so
late In transferring their activities to
the Thames is that DIR. Heber Howe,
rowing director, feels that little diver
sion is offered the men at Red Top. the
solitude of the place is apt to get on
their nerves and cause them to grow
stale. So he figured 1t was better to
keep them here for while longer than
usual.
Tho doctor really hasn't decided on a
definite order for the race with Yale,
which is less than three weeks away.
The failure OF Harvard and Cornell to
race didn't provide him with an oppor-
tunity to see just what his new order
could do.
1t was Harvard's fault that the two
crews did not meet Monday. The ath-
letic committee at a meeting late In
April voted expressly that the crews
could not so to Ithaca before the Thurs
day preceding the race, and that il for
any reason the race was postponed on
Saturday the crews could stay over
until Monday. For some reason, al
though this vote at the time was given
the widest publicity. neither j. w. Wat
son, manager, nor Coach Howe remem-
bered 1t at Ithaca, II they had ever
known about 1t. In consequence the
crews OF both institutions were dis
appointed. and the Harvard Athletic
Association is out $1.500. The Harvard
slate, however, Is not larger as far as
defeats are concerned. and the one

gatta with Yale was passed over.
Appleton. ,Amory or Brown.
Just how DR.. Howe will line up his
varsity finally against Yale is not yet
known. There is a chance that he will
decide to use Capt. Appleton at stroke,
a position he rowed last year in the
race from starboard. If chosen now he
will set the pace from port Appleton

Ithacans. may still be retained.
II Harry Morgan's attack of jaundice
allows him he will be back in the var
sity. al Ladd seems reasonably sure
of seat and these three men, including
capt. Appleton, are the only veterans
available from last years crew.

Lawrence Terry to resign late last win

pay exclusive attention to his studies

bation at the time, but managed to make
credits enough to reinstate themselves.
There will be twenty-five varsity oars.
men at Red Top. including the first and
second crews and four substitutes who
will team up with a similar number from
the freshman squad Of fourteen to form
a combination crew.
Win or lose. DIR. Howe is expected to
ask his fellow members of the advisory
committee to turn over the active coach
Ing duties next yea- to some one else
preferably Bill Haines, his professional
assistant. He wishes to continue as
director. The doctor was hired with the
specifications that win or lose against

ward j. Brown. '96. coach OF the class
crews, may be considered for the var
sity post. but there is some doubt. as
despite the fact that he graduated from
Harvard he is often mentioned as an
outsider. Brown has had wonderful
success with poor material and has done
well as an independent coach. The crew
schedule next season will not be so ex-
acting either
