Yale Crews Change Practice Course

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Yale crew committee has announced that Yale crews will have their spring practice on the Housatonic River, below Derby, on a four-mile course which the committee has recommended. Temporary quarters will be erected for housing the shells and for crew dressing-rooms. The crews will abandon the harbor entirely. Should the Housatonic prove to be an ideal course, arrangements will be made to transfer by barges the George Adee boathouse, which cost $100,000 to erect. The need of funds to move the boathouse seems to be the only drawback to the proposition.

The course is less than half an hour by trolley from the university. Rough water here is exceptional, and the river is protected from wind from nearly every direction. It is not spanned by a bridge, and there is no obstruction of any kind. It is available not only for crew practice, but for, intercollegiate regattas.
