Push for club crew makes waves in rowing ranks
Riley Ford ’11 rowed with the Yale lightweight crew team last fall, but he was not with the team Monday when Yale’s crews practiced for the first time this spring at the Gilder Boathouse in Derby, Conn.
“I finished out the fall season and loved it, but there were a lot of other things that I wanted to try out while I was here,” Ford said.

Hello Yale Daily News reporters. Please note that it is incorrect to use the term 'crew team,' notwithstanding the fact that many rowers do so. The crew is the rowing team, so to say 'crew team' is the equivalent of saying the 'rowing team team.'

When I was an undergraduate back in the 60's, each college had its own rowing team and it was part of the Tyng Cup competition. The inlet in West Haven on the way to the Bowl was the venue.
Men’s heavyweights’ struggles continue
Hey if the kids want to row as a recreational club then I say let 'em row. What's the problem here? Have we forgotten that rowing at Yale was started by students? Club rowing has a lot of history here. Let it continue.
