...Yale crews were given a half-hour's practice yesterday morning and were again sent out at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The freshmen started from the float first, and rowed well together, keeping the shell on an even keel and not shipping any water. After going to the Navy Yard the freshman crew returned to the float.
