How Yale Stood When the Foul

The Daily Press Of New Haven comments in this
way
The result seems to have been quite unsatlsfac-
tory, as Yale, who was expected TO win, was put
out OF the race at an early period by foul with
Harvard, by means OF when the rudder and an
oar were broken. From all the reports that have
come to hand It would appear that the Yale crew
were well 10 hand and were rapidly gaming on
their opponents when this unfortunate AFFAIR took
place, thus putting end to their chance OF WIN
