YALE EIGHT FIRST IN THE
ANNUAL UNIVERSITY RACE

show itself, and little more go APP
peared in the New Haven craft.
Slowly, but surely, Yale gained, and
in the next half mile cut Harvard's lead
down to scant ha length. Both crews
We're rowing like clockwork, and there
was every indication that each eight was
able to stay out the entire four miles.
Passing the mile and half, Yale low
cred her stroke and Harvard followed.
and for the rest of the race, with the
exception of beautiful spurts upon occa-
sions, the crews hardly varied from 80 to
81 Yale's pull seemed to be the more
telling. AS the shells approached the
navy yard there was a perceptible gain
for the blue. and when the two-mile flags
We're passed Yale was leading for the
first time in tn race.
The margin, however, was dangerously
| narrow. Harvard was one second be-
hind, but in the next half mile she again
wrested the lead away from Yale, and
at the two and half miles Harvard led
/ by just two-fifths of second.
Those on the official yachts, some of
whom We're oarsmen of former days. al
this juncture began to talk about the
race with enthusiasm. Thus far it had
been magnificent. and the performances
finish. The Yale men pulled like giants.
but Harvard was working with just as
much power and skill. AS a result. Yale
was unable to creep up, and Harvard
actually drew ahead still further one
fifth of second. passing the three mile
station three-tifths of second ahead
The lead of the crimson oars was to be
estimated not in lengths, but in mere
feet and inches The shells entered the
finishing mile between long lines of
yachts, and it remained for this las.
mile to afford the most spectacular scene
seen on the Thames for many a year.
With guns booming and whistles
shrieking the two boats swept down the
line. Harvard was still in the lead, but
Yale was clinging to her close. 1t was
not until the three and half mile flags
We're within haiing distance that Chit
tenden. the Yale coxswan, called on his
men for. mighty effort.
Up went the Yale stroke, and up crept
the Yale shell. Harvard tried to re-
spond, and her men answered the cal,
heroically. But the sons Of Eli tore
along in a style that was maddening for
Harvard supporters. The three and
half mile point found Yale again in tho
lead. She was never headed.
Indeed, with Harvard never letting
down for an instant, Yale took on added
strength and began to steal away by
feet. 1t was nothing but Yale after this.
1t was the old story of a Yale crew with
skill and endurance to stay in the last
stages of the long journey. Yale's vic
tory was one of a scant two lengths.

leans have a chance as is evidenced by
the following London dispatch:
The Daily News in an editorial dis
cussing foreign entertainments upon
British supremacy in the various forms
of sport, expresses the fear that the
grand challenge cup may be carried
away from Henley by either an Ameri-
can or Belgian crew. and argues that,
with the very best disposition toward
all foreign sportsmen, Henley ought to
be excepted from the risk of losing this
cup"
Should Pennsylvania win at Henley
it will simply be a case of demonstrate
ing that America is ahead of her Eng
lish cousin in just one more branch Of
athletics. Let it be hoped that Penn
sylvania will win.

Overland Club Will Attend.

Members of the Overland club have
decided to attend the opening of the
saucer track tomrrow night in a body.
Their visit will be in the nature of show

and courtesy Of Manager King. who
materially aided the club in making the
proposed street fair possibility. Mr..
King is credited by the club with hav-
ing given the largest individual cash
subscription to the carnival fund.
Some of the club members are inter-
ested to know why the services of two
we'll known surgeons are needed at
the track. They are anxious to see If
the riding is SO perilous that a rider is
liekly at any time to fall to pieces, or
so seriously injure himself, that medical
aid must be right at hand. The ply
sicians are much amused at the idea
as they well understand that though
their services may be required once, the
probability of such thing is very SLIM
