| eight in the phenomenal time of 1922: Har-
ward second. Pennsylvania third and CO.
| lumbia fourth. Cornell won the freshman
race. two days ago. i'm which the order OF
| finishing was strangely the same. The race
| was a hard one for two miles, but after
| that Cornell had 1t their own way Har-
ward tried its old scheme OF firing out Cor
\ nell at the start but 1t failed. Cornell
! rowed a clean race and without break OF
any kind. Pennsylvania splashed and

known reason. was not I'm the race after
the first quarter mile. Harvard rowed
pluckily. but was outclassed. The condi-

some moments and then the crews were

got stroke. Cornell and Harvard were
both fully prepared and got the advantage

well. All had started with a forty stroke.

CORNELL WORKED STEADILY
1t was noticeable that the Cornell men
never changed their stroke. but worked
steadily at thirty-eight and thirty-seven
| strokes, with good back work and beautiful
| clean blade action. and as they neared the
| two-rnile mark this work was noticeable In
| its effect. Harvard's men had put all their
| hard work in their arms and legs. and io
was beginning to tell, for they could noe
