Harvard Crew Has Dash.
Goach:-E... C.<Stotrow of: Harvard +é-
cently made public this statement about
his crew: | :
“Since the order in which the crew
will row has been settled but a few days
its capabilities are known to neither
oarsmen nor coaches. This does not
mean that the men have not had plenty -
of work and been thoroughly tried out,
—in fact, even more than usual. Be-
sides rowing in the class and club races,
the latter on May 22, the two University
crews have had constant trial spins that
have amounted to races. By this plan
the work has been much more inter-
esting, while the only loss has been
the long period of rowing together,
which Yale has had.
“As a whole the crew is not thor-
oughly well together. The catch is
fairly good, although the men still clip
considerably. The weakest faults are
great slowness in getting the hands
away after the finish of the stroke and
in following with the bodies in the re-
covery. The blades come out of the
water too soon. At times the crew has
shown some speed and sonsiderable life
and dash.” got
He is 20 years old, weighs.
Cameron Greenleaf, ’990
The general opinion seems to be that
Harvard’s crew, while not a finished
one, is very fast. The men average
between two and three pounds lighter
than Yale’s.

The annual regatta of the Inter-col-
legiate Rowing Association between the

the Universities of Wisconsin, Cornell,
Columbia, and Pennsylvania, and the
four-oared’ race between Cornell and
Pennsylvania, both of which events will
be held, June 26. The eight-oared race
between. the University crews of the
four above named universities will be
rowed June 27.. The race, which will
be governed by practically the same
conditions as it was last year, will take
place over the Poughkeepsie inside

sie Highland Amateur Rowing Asso-
ciation, which has superceded the Citi-
zen’s Committee of past years, to have
a regatta on a much larger scale next
year the program of which will proba-
bly include Freshmen and University
races in each event: single scull, double
scull, four-oared race, and eight-oared
race, besides other events.

condition. -The cartridge case, which

Nathan Hale Memorial.
The old district school at East Had-
dam, Conn., where Nathan Hale taught
after his graduation from Yale in 1773,
is to be preserved and turned into a
monument to his memory. The build-
ing has recently been bought by Rich-
ard H. Greene, Yale ’62, who has caused
it to be moved to a site on the east
bank of the Connecticut River, just a
short distance away from the original
site. Mr. Greene will turn the building
over to the Daughters of the American
Revolution, who will care for it and
place in it many relics of Nathan Hale;
now in possession of the society. The
schoolhouse will be dedicated as a
permanent Nathan Hale Memorial on
the anniversary of his execution, Sept.
22.
