Harvard oarsmen Beaten In Great
Event at New London.
New London, Conn, July 2. - The
Harvard regatta has been con
cluded, and again Yale has taken the
premier event. In the big varsity race
the Yale men crossed the line winners
by seven lengths. The time was: Yale,
21;41l6; Harvard, 22,O7. Throughout
the race the Ellis were never headed,
and from the crack Of the pistol the
result was never in doubt II was a
case Of superiority in rowing strength
and rowing fundamentals.
Within a quarter of mile from the
start Yale had established herself in "A
comfortable position length ahead.
This had been accomplished I'm spite Of
the fact that Harvard was fully two
more strokes to the minute than Yale.
The New Haven oarsmen increased
their lead steadily until two and one
half miles had been Travelled. Then
their shell suffered from the eel grass
section of the course. Harvard pulled
up a length, but when the Yale shell
reached clear water again the supe-
riority of the blue became more than
ever evident.
Gradually the contest became a pro
cession, and Yales victory was as de
cisive as the most ardent Of her sup
porters could wish.
The race was rowed with a strong
fida and a etrono wind fu favor Of the
crews There was too much wind
however, for good shell racing, and the
time was correspondingly slow.
Harvard won the four Dared even
by something over a length after {
race unique in the history Of thii
course. Yale led practically throughou
the race only 10 go TO pieces within
the last half mile, while Harvard in
grand spurt crossed the line.
