MANY CHANGES MARK YALE'S YEAR

New Captain, and Coaching System Feature Rival's Development.

At the beginning of the fall crew season at Yale the announcement was made that C. M. Snowden, who had been re-elected captain for the year 1913-1914, was ineligible, and T. B. Denegre 1915 had been chosen to succeed him.

Practice for the University Crew started on September 17, when two full crews, reported. For the first few weeks the work was light, and consisted mainly of long paddles to enable the men to get into condition. With the Princeton race in view, the first crew soon started on time trials and races with the second crew. The Freshman eight of last year furnished the crew with promising material and three Sophomores were on the crew which raced Princeton. The University crew completed its fall work with the race against Princeton on October 25. The distance was one and seven-eights miles, and the Princeton crew won by about two lengths. W. A. Harriman 1913, and D. G. Acheson 1915, coached the crew. The University boat rowed as follows: bow, Low; 2, Rogers; 3, Denegre, captain; 4, Von der Ropp; 5, Woodruff; 6, Fitzpatrick; 7, Titus; stroke, Crocker; coxswain, Moore.

The Freshman and Club crews started work on October 5. C. N. Snowden 1914S, directed the Freshmen eight crews being out. All the Freshmen rowed on stationary seats in barges. Fall rowing ended with the regatta in which the Freshman and Club crews contested.
