Light Work for Yale Crews

YALE CREW QUARTERS, GALES FERRY, CT., June 11, 1907.-On account of the four-mile race yesterday the crews were given easy work today. In the morning the university and freshman eights took short spins rowing at easy stretches. The university and freshman four-oared crews had a one and a half-mile race. Though the freshmen were given one and a half boat lengths' handicap they were defeated by four lengths. A high wind and consequent rough water prevented any further practice in the morning.

At 6.30 o'clock, the wind having gone down, all the crews were sent on an easy row for three miles up the river and back again. The pace was never increased above a slow paddle. While out in the afternoon Griswold unfortunately cut his hand. All the other men were in good condition.

Throughout the day there were no visitors, and the men spent their spare time in preparing for examinations.
