took place at Yale in 1844 A 4-oared boat, the Nautilus, owned by Yale club, raced large dugout, the Centiped, manned by Is sophomores The sophomores were dubious of their chances. The night before thf race, they fastened a huge stone to the keel of the Nautilus. The sophs won.
 Yale and Harvard first met or the water in August, 1852. In 2- mile race with 3-oared barges, the Oneida of Harvard beat the Halcyon of Yale by two lengths.
 Harvard's successful strategy was to row only a few times before the race, flor fear of hlistering their hands"
 Yale's unsuccessful strategy was to have, as coxswain, the heaviest man in college.
 Known as the Yale Navy" and the Harvard Navy" the crews for many years took their titles seri- ously. Every race was battle to the death, and the "admirals" out did each other in figuring out stra- tegic moves to sink the enemy.
 In 59, Harvard kept crowding the Yale skiff, forcing Yale to wide course. Harvard won. A roWoff was ordered. In the second race, the boats kept repeatedly dangling oars and almost swamping each other Yale won this time
 In "A, Harvard steered into the Yale shell and cut away the rudder, thus eliminating any chances of Yale's winning.
 In '82 Yale experimented with a 67-foot boat, with the oarsmen grouped in pairs In '83, Yale erect ed big wind sail on the bow, but Harvard won by 20 lengths.
 For a while, around the turn of the century, the rival teams had camps in full view of each other at New London. Thus Yale rowed past the Harvard crew, and vice versa. The idea was to impress the opIN Tition so thorouehly i would be frightened to death.
 The history of the Harvard race is full of interesting details, aside from the strategy used by the crews The first race was suggested not by Yale or Harvard, but by an enterprising railroad manager, who wanted excursion-train business and advertising. First Harvard uni forms featured blue; Yale wore crimson! Both original crews were made up entirely of members of the class of 1853 except for Charles A. White of Yale. White furnished Yale it's boat.
 The regular varsity 8-oared races at four miles (the series that is continued today) began in 1876, and have been held at New London, Conn, ever since 1878
 There were 37 races from 1900-37 inclusive Yale won 21. Harvard IS The last Yale victory was in 1885.
 Lastly, although the Harvard Yale races are always spectacu- lar, there is a record for sheer rowing color they never will equal. The exhibition they never will duplicate was staked in 50 B.C. by Cleopatra Cleo's oarsmen were not so proficient as those of today, but they.had barge adorned with gold, sails of purple, 20 oars set with silver, and they kept time to the music of flutes and Tyres.

Train Races StOrk; Arrive First

SAN FRANCISCO. June 15.-The legendary speed of Casey Jones was nothing to the recent wild ride of thirty y-five-year-old Earl Sandelip train fireman in the locomotive ol northbound Southern Pacific train. And Sandelin had good reason, too.
 The reason: he was rushing from Los Angeles to Oakland's Jackson Lake Hospital, to help his wife, Florence, watch for the stork.
 Faster than either Casey Jones or Earl Sandelin. however. was the stork. He brought twins. Both boys. they were relivered in Caesarian birth by pr. c. H. Robinson.

editor in charge Of w. P. A. Writers
Project is attacked almost daily as
'slave-driver.' He demands no
less than a thousand words a week

Is this demand, it is fair to say that
ordinary newspaper reporters regularly
write five or six times as much per
week"
Elsewhere in the article Mr.. Son.
dern mentions "strong-arm squad"
of an Alliance local which consisted
Of "one former taxi driver. one former
sailor, both writer's but hardly
literate." They were employed on
the Writer'S Project and their rise
to prominence as men Of letters came
about when they beat up another
project member who was circulating
"Trotzkyist literature" The erring
comrade went to the hospital for three
weeks, according to Mr.. Sondern, and
the virtuous Stalinists were suspended
from the w. P. A. for three days by
way Of punishment"
On the whole, 1t is a very hilarious
article.
Mention Of it would not be complete,
however, without quoting what Mr..
Sondern has to say of that other
cultural project. the Federal theater.
This, he tells us, "is considered G model

but neither published nor contracted

Put this beside what Mr.. Sondern
has written in the Commentator

will have queer picture indeed. There

The President of the United States
has designated the week beginning
today as Fire Prevention Week"
and the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia have called upon
the citizens Of Washington to give
earnest consideration to the subject
The Public Library believes that it
can help by offering some suggestions
for reading, which may be found at
the central building, Eighth and K
streets NV There are no books in
the list, but rather half dozen
pamphlets and brief magazine articles.
Study Of even one of these may help
accomplish what, in the past. Fire
Prevention Week has failed to do-to
keep the idea Of prevention alive
through the year.
A study of fire records shows that
losses drop just before, during ami
just after Prevention Week and thet
then they climb back to normal. Fire

has a fire is looked upon as . public

unfortunate, the country will not real

and some time was to elapse before
Cecil Rhodes first set foot on South
African soil. Incidentally, his voyage
to Natal took him no less than 70
days.
The dimcult trading period Of the
World War Is also treated. Subse-
quent incidents are stories almost of
our own day ''in which the Statute Of
Westminster and the Ottowa Confer
ence may form convenient chapters
for the historians of the future"
However, perhaps one OF the most
important aspects Of the book Is the
conception Of the authors regarding
the realities which underlie the. struc.
ture Of the British Commonwealth.
People" they said, have been brought
to realize that beneath the panoply Of
empire the actual links which bind
the homeland to the dominions to
remote dependencies and to tropical
Islands are economic rather than mill

This realistic attitude toward funda-
mental conditions, they say, has char

The book just published Is written
In the approved British banking ira
dition. The tempered language and
the mature Judgment Of it's authors
command respect.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-21
Novey Wins Spirited
 Race For Nomination
Named COP Candidate for Sheriff in Ltcheld County;
 May Affect 5th Congressional District Fight

Bridgewater delegation had cast four votes when 1t was entitled to but two.
 Following the caucus, a dinner was held and discussion of the chances of Attofrfey @Thoiias J. Wall, of Torrington, for the Repub- lican congressional nomination in the 5th district resulted in state- ment by Torrington Republicans that the city, which casts 27 per cent of the vote in the county, is entitled to two places on the ticket. Thus, 1t was felt that the chances of MT. Wall, who has considerable strength throughout the county and in Waterbury, were not impaired by the choice of Col. Novey for the sheriff's spot on the ticket.
 At the same time, Judge Milton c. 1sbell, of Ansonia, denied that he had withdrawn from the con- gressional race and this means there are four avowed candidates, Attor- ney Wall, former Tax Commission CT William H. Blodgett, of Winsted, Lieut. Col. Roy E. Rice, of Wood- bury, and Judge Isbell.
 MT. Wall commented that Tor rington, which used to be Repub- lican stronghold, has changed in recent years to Democratic, and voiced the opinion that Republican recognition of the city this fall by prominent consideration on the ticket might change this political aspect and return Torrington to the Republican camp.
