JAYVEE AND FRESHMAN CREWS IN TIME TRIALS

Red Top, Conn., June 13--While the Varsity eight contented itself with the light paddles which are customary on the days just before the four-mile race, the Jayvee crew ran over the two-mile course in 9 minutes, 36 seconds, despite a strong wind and a heavy sea. Coach Haines' two crews also raced over this distance, the Freshman Boat covering it in 9 minutes, 55 seconds, and the Combination crew in 10 minutes, 16 seconds.

A noticeable improvement in the coordination and in the run of the boat has been apparent this week, and the cool weather today enabled Coach Whiteside to practice a few racing starts and sprints without fear of taking off weight, as was the case last week. Cassedy's crews in the past have shown themselves capable of smooth racing starts taken at a good stroke, and although this phase of the race is not so essential in a four-mile brush, neither is it to be ignored as the psychological advantage of holding the lead at the start is great, and it is not unlikely that Coach Whiteside will devote at least two more paddles to them. The Varsity also paced the Jayvees over the first half mile of their trial today.

At Gales Ferry, Coach Leader has also been calling rows of a similar nature. The Varsity outfit, still clicking smoothly to Barnsey's stroke, sprinted over the half mile, while the other crews went out for two or three mile rows.
