Yale Crews Practice Racing Starts

Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 20, 1910.--Both the Yale crew squads were given light practice today. All the crews went up-stream for their morning and afternoon work. The university crew rowed less than two miles during the morning and devoted some time to the practice of racing starts. The freshman eight and all three fours merely rowed a mile up stream and back to the boathouse. During the afternoon the work was a little more severe. In a short race between the three fours, the university four finished first, the second four next, and the freshman four third. The afternoon practice for the two eights consisted of racing starts. In two out of three of these the university eight was able to get the jump on the freshman eight.
