Harvard Crew Choice,
Race Mark Expected
|nDueI With Yale
By the kssoeio.sd Press

NEW YONDON, Conn. June 25.-
Their Olympic ambitions took a
temporary back seat as the Harvard
and Yale crews awaited the 83d
renewal of the private feud on the
Thames River late this afternoon.
Powerful Harvard hoped to make
1t 10 in a row over scrappy Yale
and had lots of supporters.
Those backing the Crimson, and
they included many experts, also
predicted new course record In
this gruelling 4-mile grind from
Bartlett's Cove downstream to the
towering Vehicular Bridge.
They're really popped up around
here over the possibility that the
winning crew could cross the finish
line under the 1858 record set by
Yale in 1884, and they give reasons
some of them logical.
Talk is technical. but briefly, last
winters heavy SHOWS and the
abundant spring rains, including
last night thunderstorm. are sup
posed to have made the river last
barring a headwind.
And, In time trial last week
Harvard was clocked in dazzling
1868.
Yale Improved. Coach Says.
ANYWAY. both coaches, Tom Boil
les of Harvard and Alan Walz OF
Yale, who should know, say that
this revival of Americas Oldest in
tercollegiate rivalry looms as "one
heck of an exciting race"
While Harvard Is the choice IN
the varsity skirmish, Americas only
4-mile college race this year, Yale's
freshment and junior varsity are
given the edge in their brushes over
the 2-nile distance starting at the
submarine base.
Yale will be on the East Side
(Croton) for the varsity and layvee
tests and the west lane New Lon
dom for the freshman event. There
isn't supposed to be any advantage
here.
In final prerace statements. Wall
said his high-stroking boat is bet
ter than the 1947 crew that finished
six seconds '-o1ind the Crimson.
Bolles said My varsity is getting
in the same league with last years
crew. I hope for the best"
Walz and Bolles feel. too, that
Americas Olympic crew will be
either today's victor here or the
University of Washington, the
Poughkeepsie champs.
Both in Olympic Trials.
Regardless of the outcome OF this
party, Yale and Harvard will COM
pete in the 2,000-meter Olympic
trials at Princeton, N. j., next week
In an opening scrap late yester-
dav, Harvard's combination boat
upset Yale by about two lengths IN
2-mile fight. Harvard's time was
1921 and Yale's 10:39.5.
With a break in the weather, and
It doesn't look too good, the fresh
men should toe the mark at 4:3C
pm. Washington time. The Jay
wees are to follow 30 minutes later
and the varsity at 6 pm.

Barney Circle Traffic
Temporary Rerouting
To Start on. Feb. IS
Star Staff Photo.

A temporary solution" to the
Barney Circle traffic problem, in
vclving the rerouting of vehicles
using the circle, is to become effec-
tive February Is or as soon there
after as possible, according to plan
under study today.
The District Commissioners and
the Public Utilities Commission, sit
ting as a joint board, reached de-
cision on the matter yesterday. The
boards decision was in line with
recommendations made last October
% at public hearing by the Capital
Transit CO.
Board Issues Statement.
In approving the transit COM
pany's suggestions, the board said:
"It is understood that this Is a
temporary solution and that other
facilities that will take considerable
time to develop and construct may
be necessary to provide the full
capacity required in the circle"
In the new traffic plan, which
affects chiefly the operation of buses,
the transit company's CO, CD, C-6
and CO bus lines remain unchanged,
but the BE- line is rerouted so as
to approach the circle on Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue Sc,
and the V-6 line is rerouted via
Potomac and Pennsylvania avenues.
The Washington, Marlboro &
Annapolis bus lines will use the
Capital Transit Co.'s terminal at the
circle for its short route, and
through-line buses of that company
will stop at Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue Sc, instead
of at the circle.
In the new setup, K street Sc.
will be one-way street, eastbound,
from Fifteenth street to Barney
circle.
Other provisions of the plan in
volve the changing of traffic signals
at the circle and the setting up of
appropriate traffic signs.
