Men's crew: Yale schools on the SchuylkillYale's heavyweight crews go south to race Cornell and Princeton for the Carnegie Cup on Sat., Apr. 25. Coach Dave Vogel's, DC '71, varsity boat is currently ranked number one in the Eastern Assocation of Rowing Colleges (EARC) coaches' poll. The lightweights take on three EARC opponents this weekend. In their only home races of the season, coach Andy Card's crews face Dartmouth and Rutgers for the Durand Cup on Saturday and host Cornell on Sun., Apr. 26. Racing begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Sunday.On Sat., Apr. 18, both squads raced against Pennsylvania and Columbia in Philadelphia. Both heavyweight freshman boats won their races, but the JV oarsmen lost by three-hundreths of a second to Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, the powerful varsity eight took the Blackwell Cup with a time of 5:32.5 to Pennsylvania's 5:35.8. Host Pennsylvania was not a factor in most lightweight races as Yale and Columbia battled it out on the Schuylkill. In several races, the Lions challenged Yale early, but the Elis pulled out significant wins, retaining the Dodge Cup with a varsity win (5:40.3 to Columbia's 5:44.7). --Sharon Lin
