The Yale News appears to be seriously alarmed at the indications of a "brace" by Harvard in athletic matters. "When Harvard braces...

...will succeed in getting places in the 'Varsity boat if they have the better chance which a longer rest will give them to recuperate from their training and to grow, as most rowing men do in their first summer vacation. As for their not having rowed in a shell except for two weeks before the class races, if it were an understood thing that the class races were intended to prepare the Freshman oar for the 'Varsity, with such advice as the rowing authorities should not hesitate to give, the Freshman shell could be in use, in a year...
