HARVARD WINS ALL,
Crimson Oarsmen Victors In
Every Race at New London.
THREE TR1UMPHs IN THREE HOURS

Boys of Cambridge Taste Sweets of
Victory After Eight Years of Calling
Defeat-Land the Varsity by Over Six
Lengths In 2O:52.
New LONDON, Conn.,, June s0.-Har-
ward won all of the boat races yesterday
three victories over Yale in three
hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson last stevening, when the Harvard
varsity crew pulled over the finish line
six and a half lengths ahead of Yale.
After eight years of defeat, the students
of Cambridge are tasting the sweets Of
success. Harvard $ university eight won
from Yale, over q 4-mile course, by six
and half lengths, in 20:52.
Harvard s freshmen eight won from
Yale over a t,Ho-mile course by two. and
half lengths in $685..
Harvard's substitute four won from
Yale over two-mile course by six
lengths in 1851.
The Harvard crews rowed modifica-
ton Of the English stroke, coupled with
some features of the stroke pulled by
Wisconsin, and Coach MConville of
Wisconsin, who saw the race, said: eff
Harvard s crew in yesterdays form had
been at Poughkeepsie, am afraid they
would have given us all a hustle for
first place."
The course was badly policed, boats
setting into the lane and steamers kick
ing up swells after the race had started.
Harvard in the varsity race very nearly
collided with number of small boats
at the finish and a heavy swell impeded
Yale.
The varsity race was prettily rowed,
but the defeat was crushing. Yale,
however, rowed gamely to the finish
and neither crew showed signs of dis
tress.
The contest between the substitutes
constituting the varsity fours was, like
the varsity eight, procession, with
Harvard six full lengths ahead at the
finish. The freshmen effort was
mighty and splendid one up to the last
eighth Of mile, when Haryard's S supe-
rior staying powers, coupled with an un-
fortunate obstruction Of the course Of
the Yale youngsters by large steamer
worked for Harvard's advantage and
sent the 1909 men of Harvard across the
line two lengths ahead of Yale.
