An article in Monday's New York Herald on Yale "Athletes at Work" says that Harvard has in the past maintained greater secrecy in her methods than has Yale:
"The Harvards train in a room where no outsiders are admitted. Yale men complain that everything they do becomes public property too quick. To illustrate this they cite the fact that Harvard's having a professional trainer was not known until a few days before the race."
To be sure no outsiders are admitted to the rowing room itself, but the uncurtained window in the door has never been an obstacle to any outsiders' view of the men at work. The statement "that Harvard's having a professional trainer was not known until a few days before the race" looks the important basis of truth, for the fact was known to the undergraduates and all men in Boston, and vicinity interested in our success on the water. Last year's victory was hardly due to professional training no matter how important it may have been.
