In its first official time trial since the Princeton-M.I.T. regatta, the first varsity eight finished two lengths ahead of the seconds over the 1 3-4--mile course in the basin yesterday afternoon. The Varsity was clocked at 9 minutes, 33 3-5 seconds, the Jayvees at 9 minutes, 35 4-5 seconds.
Throughout the heat, stroke Cassedy of the first shell was able to keep his beat down to about 30, while the Jayvees, steadily falling behind, kept up a good 32 or 33 until the end. The first shell reached the mile mark in 4 minutes, 56 seconds, with the Jayvee boat trailing by a little over a length, and easily widened the gap of blue water to a length in the remaining 3-4 mile.
Conditions for the race were excellent; only a slight breeze was blowing, and almost absolute calm prevailed. It was Coach Whiteside's first opportunity to test out the crew which he rehabilitated last week. Since the return of Bacon to number 6 after the triangular regatta a fortnight ago, Varsity practice has consisted only in easy paddles designed to reorient the crews and to get Bacon back into shape by easy stages.
