New London, Conn.,, June 29.-Yale
won the eight-oared varsity shell race
Yesterday, beating Harvard by about
six lengths. With the four-oar and
freshmen races won, and handsomely
won, too, and with a lead, when near
ing the finish in the big varsity event,
defeat came to Harvard in sudden
and unexpected manner. Harding, the
stroke, who had replaced the disabled
Captain Higginson, collapsed before
the three and a half mile flag was
reached. and Harvard finished with
seven oars. So that Yale won hol-
low victory.
The four-oared race, as was expected,
proved rather an easy victory for Har-
ward. The crimson subs took the lead
at the snap Of the pistol and had no
dificultyin keeping it. Haryard's time
1922; Yale. 1885 2-5.
The freshman contest was some
thing of disappointment to the New
Haven men, for the Yale youngsters
had been picked as winners. Instead
Harvard showed them the rldder toi
two miles, and the event was some
thing in the nature of procession
Harvard crossing the line five and
half lengths in the lead. Harvard
time, 1901; Yale. 1919 rs.
In the university race poor Harding
the boy who was under the strain o
the responsibility placed upon hi
shoulders by the Higginson mishap
rowed himself out in that last heart
rending effort to pull up on the YAH
shell. The young Spartan, disregard
ing the fact that during the last thre
days he had lost five pounds, had pull
his last ounce, and lay helpless pas
senger in the shell. Yale crossed tn
line "a 3-5 seconds ahead of Harvard
Yale's time, 21:12 As; Harvard, Il
