The Yale-Harvard university crew race which will be held on the Thames River, near New London, on Friday, June 19, is to be rowed upstream instead of down, it was announced at the recent Harvard-Yale regatta meeting in New Haven.

The junior university and freshman races will also be rowed upstream, and over the last two miles of the course, which they have not heretofore done. These races will as usual occur in the morning, with the university race to take place late in the afternoon. Winds and tides are the reasons for this change in the arrangements of the regatta. Everything else will remain approximately the same.
