YALE AGAIN VICTORIOUS.

This was the only poor work done by Yale. At the mile and half Yale led by three lengths her time being s:53, Harvard's time was s.i2. At the two mile flag Yale continued to gain and led by thirty 1hree seconds. Her time at the flag was li;E and Harvard's 1920. At this point in the race the Harvard coxswain nnlscalculated the strength Of the ebb Hide and before he could prevent 1t. had brought the shell so close that one of the oars struck the pole. This made m big splash on the Harvard boat, but did not interfere materially with the speed. Harvard appeared badly pump I'd at the two mile flag. particularly Townsend, No. 6. At the two and half mile flag Yale was fully five lengths ahead. Harvard's boat was wabbling badly and in the last half mile she had dropped her stroke from thirty-six to ihirty-three. The Harvard oarsmen were certainly doing very poor work. Yale's time at the two and one half mile flag was 14:51 and Harvard's 15:Sl. Yale continued to gradually increase her lead and at the three mile flag was forty-two seconds in the lead. Her time was 17:E and Harvard's 1895.
 Harvard spurted bravely at the three Dmile flag. Yale was rowing beautifully, lhirty-six to the minute at his point. It was noticed from the press boat that No. 5 in the Harvard boat was not sliding on his seat and something was evidently the matter The same was the cause with No. 6. Townsend, the latter, braced up and rowed along ap- parently in good condition. The crews maintained this gait down the finish, Harvard with great pluckiness keep ing up her spurt. The crimson oars- men were badly pumped and probably ho Harvard shell ever contained an eight so badly used up. As the gun boomed at the finish line telling the Harvard men that once more her great rivals had defeated them, the Harvard men rowed for all they were worth and crossed the line nearly eighteen lengths behind, seventeen and one-half accurately. Nos l, 2, 5 gave out, while No. 6, Townsend, was all right and sat straight up in the boat. Stroke kales was especially pumped. The time was very poor It is hardly ex- plainable. When the crews were at the two mile flag quite breeze was blow Ing and this may have had some ef- feet in retarding the shells, Yale made the fastest time and greatest gain off the navy yard, when the blue shell tairly leaped from the water. The din at the finish was terrific and when the Yale crew rowed up to the referees boat and received from Refere Herman Oelrich the banner, the salute from The yachts, and the cheering from the observation train was tremendous Yale rowed up the river easily and went to their quarters to prepare for return to New Haven, where they were banquetted. Harvard's beaten parsmen were taken on to the launch md the heart-broken men were taken 10 redtop to mourn their defeat in pri- Yate. -' tsr5E4 -yssr--a ...tg
 The Men of the Yale Varsity Crew.
 The men of the varsity crew have rowed together steadily since before Easter, with one exception; Longacre, an old oar, fell behind in college work and was suspended. This might have been no small calamity had not Rog- lers, who rowed last year, a member of the celebrated Rogers family that has furnished more oarsmen to Yale than any other two families, been ready to step into his shoes and to do just as we'll. A noticeable feature is that six of the eight are sophomores, members of last years crack freshman crew. The only upper class men are Captain Johnson and Rogers.
 Captain Frederick A. Johnson is a member of this years graduating class in the Sheffield scientific school. He has rowed on the varsity crew since his freshman year, and was chosen captain upon the advice of Bob Cook, Yale's crack coach, whose word in rowing matters has been accepted as law for twenty years now in this city. But two other members of the scientific depart ment have had the honor of captaincy conferred upon them-Phil Allen, 20 S., of the go crew, and Josh Hartwell, 89 S., of the '92 crew, who came back to col Iege after his graduation, took up med Ical studies and pulled victory out of the disordered remnants of SIS defeat ed crew. .."*
 Captain Johnson halls from Norwich, Conn. He is 23 years old, stands feet Ii inches in his stockings and weighs 166 pounds. He is one of the most pop ular men in his class and belongs to the Book and Snake society. He was cho- sen to stroke the crew some weeks be- fore the race, having accepted the re- sponsibility upon Bob Cooks suggestion after several men, including Dater and Rogers, had been tried and found want ing. This was a great change for Cap tain Johnson, as in his two previous years he had rowed bow.
 R. B. Treadway of Sioux Falls, Iowa, was selected for No. ', which, next to stroke, is the most important place in the boat, for the man in that seat sets the stroke for the four oars on the port side. Treadway was on the victorious freshman crew of last year, played sub- stitute on the varsity football eleven, and is particularly well liked by his classmates. He has still two more years to row and may yet be selected Nor captain in his senior year if not be- Gore. He is 20 years old, six feet tall and weighs 174 pounds.
 w. R. Cross is one of the three New Workers in the boat. He sits at No. 6. Cross also shines in football as captain. of his class eleven and substitute on the varsity. He Is a sophomore, 20 years old, 6 feet 2inches tall and weighs.
