Yesterday afternoon the University team walked and rode over the Yale course. This course runs for about one mile through fields, then for five miles over roads and a dirt causeway, and ends with a pull up hill and one lap on the track. The start and finish are on the Yale athletic field...
...crew crept up on the Freshmen, then hung for a minute and in the last 100 yards, going at almost forty strokes to the minute, gained again, finishing a little less than three-quarters of a length behind. In point of form, the University crew rowed well. Their boat rode more evenly on her keel for the first two miles than at any time previously this year, and even in the final spurt the men held together well.

The men's catch was regular throughout, the boat spaced well and rode on a very even keel. The new shell, which is being built by W. H. Davy, of Cambridge, will probably be ready for use about...
