eager freshmen were early at the start and
were almost ready for the word by the time
that the four cared crews had finished their
race. Both Fights looked fris6y, but Harvard
was especially happy and encouraged over the
four cared victory. The wind had increased and
the water getting a bit lumpy. A few
whitecaps showed down the course but not
menacngly. and the conditions all looked fairly
favorable. Harvard this time had the west
course and Yale the eastward one, where is

got the better start. In a bakers dozen of
strokes they had shot half their shells length
ahead of their rivals. But It was costing a
stroke at the rate of thirty-six TO the minute
which, even in a two mile race is too high for
safety.
The Harvard graduates who were gazing anx-
iously at their young pets shook their heads a

There is a general belief among the crews that
there are some advantages in having the outside
course on account of the tide. but in case OF
rough water the inside course is preferable. When
the races are rowed Saturday afternoon the
tide win have been running down about two hours.

hair raising and nerve rending contest for three
and one-haf miles that ever witnessed on the
Thames and the Cambridge men naturally feel
that had they not been badly handicapped the
last half mile would have been equal
" as exciting.
Coach E. c. Storrow said that he had nothing
to say beyond that the outcome of the race showed
that his fears, expressed earlier in the day, had
been well grounded. This morning Mr. Storrow
had announced to newspaper men that several of
the varsity crew. especially those in the stern of
the boat, had been utterly unable to get over the
Ill effects of the changes made necessary by Hig
ginsons injury.
Another old Harvard rowing man said: 1--WE

The Yale freshmen had been strong favortes
for this race. They husky lot of oars
men. and were said TO be the strongest freshman
crew that Yale had turned out for years. They
had received the most careful coaching all the
year and almost every on the river con-
ceded them as victors. Yet Harvard turned
their calculations topsy turvy, and. what was
worse did not give them even look in at the
finish. Al the very pistol shot Harvard got
away with a grip the water that made the
frsn shell jump. and Yale never overcame that
lead. The freshmen from New-Haven spurted
again and again, but the Harvard class OF '03
went them one better each time The Yale boat
rowed in beautiful form. but the speed not

the stroke that made the difference, and when

there are not a few rowing experts here who
are declaring that Harvard's stroke as at pres
ent rowed is superior to Yale's Yales catch is
not so hard, and IT is at this point that these
rowing wiseacres declare that the Yale stroke
is weak. This theory certainly seemed to be
borne out in the four Dared and freshman races,
but another year must roll its way around be-
fore the question be decided between the
varsity oarsmen AS it was the big race was
the most exciting struggle for three miles and
half that the course on the Thames has ever
furnished, and not only the partsans OF the
TWO crews but disinterested onlookers went wild
over the superb struggle which spread out

AT THE HALF MILE.
At the half mile point Harvard was two
lengths ahead Her stroke had dropped a peg
to thirty-four but the boat was still gaining
Yale was rowing very pretty thirty-two, but
was not going fast which. after all, is the chief
point in race. The New-Haven oarsmen on
the starboard side were beginning to splash
badly and the boat did not travel we'll between
strokes. From this point TO the mile nag 1aie
settled down to a dogged hammering, whlcn,
however. was not of the slightest avail, for at
the halfway mark the leaping Crimson shell
was five long lengths to the good and the race
virtually over.
1t degenerated into procession, but the
plucky in blue were determined that it
should at any rate be a lively procession At
the mile flag their coxswain howled to his men
for a squirt and they responded with a terrific
effort They held Harvard for a time and then
cut into the Crimson margin by little.
But the finish was too close at hand now to
leave any hope for the Yale youths. The big
bridge that lay athwart their path just below
the finish already looming close at hand.
Down the broad lane of water sped the two
shells Yale squirting desperately time and again.

Gales Ferry Conn, June 2S-The victorious Yale
varsity crew returned TO their quarters in iubant
mood Although they felt that their success was
something of which they should be proud. the re-
membrance Of Harding's collapse and of Higgin-
sons accident tempered their feelings to a great
extent. The first thing on the programme was
food, and after this Captain Allen called his crew
into side room for the election Of next years
captain. In few moments the sharp Yale veil
announced the result, and later came a cheer for
Augustus 5. Blagden, of Washington D. c. who
was unanimously chosen captain OF the 1901 var
sty. Then came cheer for eX-Captain Allen
Captain Allen said that the reason his crew won
was that they pulled steadily and confidently
throughout. The stroke was thiTty-one at the
start. and this was kept up until near the end Of
the course. when his crew took on a small sized
squirt.
Coach Gallaudet stated that the result had been

Feelings that had been pent up broke loose now
and a howl of delight sounded out as the
cheerers caught first sight of the struggling
crews. For the third time to-day Harvard had
caught the water first. and in a dozen powerful
strokes had swept the shell almost length
ahead. She could not maintain such an advan~
tage however and Yale began to hold the
Crimson boat and then bit by bit TO cut down
the lead. Both crews were doing about thirty
two strokes to the minute, but Harvard appar-
emily had the longer reach. 1t seemed hardly
moment before the first half mile was reached.
BY that time Harvard was still half length to
the good, but Yale was settling down to steady
work.

conscious at the time.
There is no doubt that the Harvard stroke
rowed himself out completely and is in a some
what serious condition tonight. Harding re-
members nothing Of what happened after the
second mile, and it seems plain that he must
have rowed mechanically after that time. When
ii is remembered that from the second to the
third mile was the period Of Harvard's greatest
squirt and fastest pace. it can be understood the
condition in which Harding must have been at
the time of his collapse.

Thermometers had dropped twenty degrees. making
the evening most pleasant for crew practice.
All the crews except the Pennsylvania oarsmen
were on the water tonight. The Wisconsin crews

then returned to their boathouse. The freshman

The Georgetown crew went out for a short time

and started down the course at a speedy clip They
