wind that kicked up swell big enough
to dash water into the shells. buC yet
aid not dissipate the fog that shut out
both crews from sight a hundred yards
away, Yale won the freshmen eight
cared race today by scant half
length over Harvard.
in spite of the flying start the Grim
son crew were obliged 10 take, owing
10 the loss of their stakeboat, the
Cambridge lads caught the water first
at the pistol crack and forged half a
length ahead at the quarter-mile point,
rowing a stroke Of Sc. Once in the
race. however. the Yale crew hit up a
stroke of SO that sent their shell speed
ing through the water at a magnificent
rate At the half-mile post they had
overcome the Crimson's lead.
A Beautiful Race.
At the mile mark Harvard spuri d.
For the next quarter Harvard ran ahead
of the Yale crew. II was a beautiful
race at this point, each crew rowing
at thirty-four. and hardly ripping the
water, as they feathered the stroke.
At the mile and half Harvard was still
in the lead by a quarter of a length.
PEELED 20 raise their stroke TO thirty-six.
1t was evident that there was more
power and better form in the Yale shell.
Swinging into the finish the boats
were separated by hardly a nose The
Yale men began the last spurt Fer a
moment, in desperate effort 10 keep
her lead, Harvard struck up a stroke
of thirty-eight- The men were tired, and
nearly all in.
Even during the squirt the Yale men
held their own As they entered the
last quarter the Crimson stroke sagged
again 10 thirty-four. II was the fina.
rally, and Il had failed.
The Yale shell slowly but steadily
pushed its nose into the fore. and. every
man rowing like "A piece of machinery
flashed past the finish line a victor BY

Harvard ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1O;ZO:SO
The experts had picked Harvard TO
win the freshmen race until two days
ago, when they began 10 see better
chance for Yale. The betting closed az
even money. but very little was wagered
on the result.
II was generally understood that the
freshmen race would prove the first real
test of the relative merits of the Ken
nedy and Colson strokes. The Yale vic
tory is regarded not only as a victory
for the men themselves. but also as a
personal triumph for Kennedy.
After the freshmen race had been fin
ished the wind increased TO "A fifteen
knot breeze The mist on the course
became so thick that the regatta stew
ards held a consultation and announced
that the varsity eight-oared race has
been POSTPONED until 4.l5 p m. The
university four-oared race will be held
Immediately after the varsity race,
which viii take place two miles down
stream.
Attendance Kept Down.
The weather disheartened both oars
men and spectators before the race, ana
Iade fair to mar what promised last
nicht to prove one of the most crowded
. eeattas in the history of Tale-Harvard
aquatiGs.
Trains brought hundreds at every ar
rival and for mile above the finish
the river was lined with gay-colored
yachts. whose flags and bunting chung
soggy and Iifeless along the masts.
Frightened of by the threatening
weather thousands of fair weather en-
thusiasts who had planned 20 come 70
New London today decided 70 stay at
home. Regatta day arrivals always out
number the others
IN the few bets that were plated this
morning Yale ruled favorite in the major
event as high as TO / and as low as
70 TO in the freshman race which Har-
ward was early picked to win. The or
ders have eVcned almost to a parity
since yesterday morning.
