BOWDOlN ATHLETES.
Breaks an 0ar--Boat Cap
sizes--Sophomores Easily Win.
The Field Day eyents-Five College Records
Broken-Ihe Winners.

Dh' Ne"ihs Juutf CT 'Ptcidi - OF
nearly score of years the class boat race
has been a prominet event among the spring
sports Of Bowdoin and this morning large
crowd was gathered on the banks of the
Ansiroscoggin to witness the struggle be-
tween the sophomore AMI freshman four
oar crews.
| 1t was perfect day for the race. and the
crews were in fine condition. They were
made up as follows: 80 crew. Philip D.
/ Stabbs, stroke; Alfred Mitchell, Jr.,
Brunswick; A. l.. Dennison, Jay; f. l..
Mead, Bridgton, captain; 81 crew j. II.
Bates, West Sumner stroke and captain;
{. T. Stone, Bridgton; Robert New begin,
Defiance, Ohio; G. +. Baker, Alma.
All were lusty looking young athletes.
and the air was vocal with various class
yells as the crews carried their shells down
the slip into the river
The race was over the regular course, q
little over mile in length. from a point
down the river straight up the railroad
bridge near the boathouse. In rowing
down to the starting point the % crew
broke an out-rigger, and over an hour was
consumed in repairing il. After the tire
some wait the crews pulled down the river
again and at about II o'clock the start was
made.
The freshmen Oarsmen caught the water
first and few seconds after starting lead
by length, then the '95 men settled down
to business and it was handsome race up
the river. The freshmen kept their lead,
however, though having the poorer course.
AT l59 or 200 yards from the bridge the
freshmen lead by two-thirds of a length
and as they were just beginning handsome
spurt it looked as if nothing in the world
could keep them from winning.
But suddenly something happened; some-
thing serious, and at the same time ludic-
rous. The strap holding Stones shoe in
place gave way under the strain as he bent
to his oar, and quick a flash as he fell
backward the freshman shell capsized and
all four men were plunged into the river.
The 95 she'll shot by, and the sophomores,
easing up in their efforts, passed under the
bridge, winners in the very slow time of
m, % s., while the freshmen towcd their
shell up to the shore.
1t was rather an unsatisfactory ending to
an exciting race, and the sophomorcs and
their friends could not take much pride in
their victory.
The annual field and track sports of Bow
doin College were held on the Sagadahoc
Fair Grounds in Topstam this afternoon,
and it was the most successful field day the
college has had for years. Five college
records were broken and three new ones
made, as is shown below.
The was much rivalry among the four
classes, each wishing to score the most
points. The first prize counted five points,
the second three and the third one At the
