CREW HOLDS FINAL TIME TRIAL OVER FOUR MILE COURSE

Eight Has Trouble Keeping Proper Lane--Harvard and Yale Crews Are Guests of Miekleham

Red Top, Connecticut, June 20.--Late last evening the University crew went out for another four-mile spin upstream against time. In the gathering dusk that obscured many of the flags marking the course, the Crimson eight fought against a breeze blowing down the course to cover the distance in 21 minutes, 21 seconds.

The darkness made it extremely difficult to follow the progress of the trial, and the times taken at intermediate distances were uncertain, but it was estimated that two miles were passed in 10.45, and the full course in 21.21.

A beat that averaged 32 strokes to the minute carried the shell away from a racing start, and at the close a sprint raised the count almost to 40.

Light work will engage the Harvard oarsmen for the remainder of the week. There probably will be no more time trials before the eight paddles out to the start against Yale on-Friday.

Coach Edward Leader made a shift in the seating of the Yale boat in the light workout today. Warren, who has been ill, was set at No. 3, taking the place of Paschall, who has rowed in that seat since the Blue crew came to the Thames. It is likely that this change will establish the permanent lineup of the Eli shell.

Today the Harvard oarsmen had a cruise on J. P. Morgan's yacht "Corsair." Tonight the Harvard and Yale eights were the dinner guests of W. A. Meikleham, referee of the race, at the Griswold Hotel.
