Sporting Events.
New LONDON, Conn.,, June 2S. - The
fourteenth annual four-mile straight-away
eieht-oared race between crews representing
the universities OF Yale and Harvard, was
rowed this evening, over the Thames river
course, and was won by Yale by six boat
lengths. Official time-Yale 21:30; Har-
ysrd 21:55.
The series OF races between these colleges
now stands: Yale 8 Victories, Harvard 8
victories. Yale also holds the record for
the fastest time over the course, 2O:1O,
made last year.
The crowd which saw the race was un-
unually large, there being several thousand
more strangers in town than for several
years. All the desirable points along the
course were packed with people. The ace
was originally set for IL O'Clock, but was
postponed until evening on account OF
rough water.
TIE START.
The crews were promptly sent away at
7:20. Harvard started of with stroke 81,
and Yale BE-. At the end Of the quarter
Yale took the lead about ten feet. Both
crews were in excellent form, and the next
quarter OF q mile neither could gain an
inch. Just after passing the half.mile flag,
Harvard took the lead by about ten feet.
This Harvard held but a lew seconds. As
the crew neared the mile flag, Yale spurted.
gaining a quarter length and passing the
mile flag, in AT, pulling 30 strokes, with
Harvard two o behind, pulling 81.
The squirt by which Yale took the lead at.
the mile settled the race az, after passing
that point, Yale gradually increased her
lead, and Harvard was unable to prevent it.
Yale passed the one and one.half miles
in 7:15, pulling 81, and Harvard in 7:19,9
stroke to 80, while Harvard increased hers
to 80.
TIE EFFECTS OF THE HARD RACE
for one and one half miles were plainly
visible in the Harvard boat. Finally No.
s and Tilton No. 6 were losing form and
finally was slow in getting his oar out OF
the water after each stroke. Yale, however,
was pulling in perfect form every man in
the boat striding as one man and
all lifting their oars in perfect time,
At two miles Yale showed q boats
length Of clear water, and the race was
finished, so far as Haryard's chances were
concerned. s |.
At that point, two miles, Yale was pull /,
ing 80, and Harvard 80. -
After passing the two mile flag Nos. 3
aRd z in the Harvard b~oatsplashed badly, ]
and their body movement was bad.
YALE's srReKEs
sent her further and further ahead, and at
the tw~o.and-a-half mile flag they had q
lead OF full four lengths.
From the two.and-a-half mile flag to !
the three-and-a-half mile flag the position !
remained the same. After passing the ]
three-and-a-half mile, Yale gradually in
creased their lead with no apparent ef.
fort.
In the Harvard boat things were dii- ,
ierent. l.
At three and three.fourths miles Yale '
struck smooth water close under the bank '
and two additional lengths were quickly I
added to her lead. Harvard made q final 4
effort to lessen the distance, but to no pur- =
pose, as Yale crossed an easy winner by six q
lengths. '
Harvard lost because they were not so 7
we'll taught as Yale and because their i;
stroke, even at the rate Of thirty.four, was :
not 30 effective az Iale's at thirty. /;
