Yale Drew Against the Watch at Yale Quarters
The Yale varsity eight raced a four mile course against the watch but the coaches refused to cite a time, saying the boat was not as fast as last year’s crew at this stage. The freshmen eight paced the varsity for a two mile stretch, and the younger rowers showed a late spurt while the varsity conserved effort. The varsity four held their regular practice despite poor weather and exams. Alan Whiter of Yale Navy sent a telegram to President Roosevelt requesting courtesy for Yale quarters during his Gale’s Ferry stay.
