Morning practice for the University crew consisted of a stiff six-mile paddle, down-stream to the three-mile mark and back. Several starts were tried, and the men rowed in pairs and fours over a large part of the distance. Seven miles was their portion in the afternoon.

Thursday and yesterday the University representatives held intensive practices, and before the game today will have another stiff work-out. The Yale team, which according to all reports has been doing much practicing during the last two weeks, will arrive in Cambridge shortly after noon today. W.J. Casey '24 on the mound and G.G.
