cared Varsity race by three and one
half boat lengths, the freshmen eight
cared race by by two and one-auarter
lengths and the Varsity four -oared
race by one and one-half lengths. In
all three races Harvard put up a mem :
orable fight and went down to defeat
after gallant struggles in which hey
boys rowed out the last ounce of their
strength. The officials times OF the
races were as follows: Varsity race.
Yale, 20:10 As, Harvard. 20:29 3-5.
