...Spring races at Yale took place on Wednesday afternoon. The single-scull race was won by Kennedy of the University crew in 15 minutes 21 1/4 seconds. Kennedy will pull in the single-scull race at Saratoga. The six-oared race was won by a crew from the Law School in 13.09, the Freshmen coming in second in 13.16, and the Junior class crew, with Cook and two other members of the University crew, 6 seconds later. The seat of the bow oar in the last crew came off its runners at the start, delaying the crew. Distance in both...
...past two weeks the various crews have done much in the way of improvement. Every boat, as it leaves the float, is subjected to the closest scrutiny, and as the time of the race draws near, as comparisons are made, and as "points" are discovered, the knowing ones begin to have settled opinions about the order in which the most important boats will cross the line on the 29th. Holworthy is, not without reason, looked upon as the favorite for first place in the six-oared race. Of the four crews this one alone has retained the stroke who pulled...
...boat on the river has shown more marked improvement within the week than Holyoke. The place of Mr. Wetherbee is well supplied by Mr. Mudge of the Medical School, but their misfortunes have been too many and too severe to leave the crew much hope of winning the race. The captain of the club has worked hard, and not unsuccessfully, to bring up the crew; it seems to us, however, that on the beginning of his stroke he gets more of a lift than the crew can carry through...
...condition of the Freshmen crew is very satisfactory. In another column we give the weights and the ages of the different men; for a Freshman crew they are unusually heavy, while their average age, by a singular coincidence, is exactly the same as that of the last Freshman crew we sent to the intercollegiate race...
...University has undergone some very important changes since we spoke of them two weeks ago. The positions of the men are now announced as settled upon; but (much as we long to see the crew made up) we trust that this will not prove to be the fact. That Otis is the best man for stroke we have little doubt, but we question seriously the policy of placing Wetmore No. 2, and changing two of the strongest men in the boat over to the side they are not accustomed to row on. Bacon and Taylor may be able...
