HARVARD LOST RACE
.ClMRIDGE WON BY Two Lengths
IN HARD CONTEST
Americans Finished Strong, While
Britishers Were All ln-cambridge
Got Better. Start-Harvard Had Fin
est Crew Physically Ever Seen in
England, but Lacked Training.

Putncy, Eugland.-Saturdays boat
race between Harvard and Cambridge
universities, which was won by the
Englishmen by two lengths, was prob
ably the most surprising eve rowed
on the Thames, not so much because
of the result, but the way in which it
was rowed.
Cambridge, as had been feared by
Harvard and hoped for by English
men, got away the better, securing a
lead which they increased to three
lengths before Hammersmith bridge.
Both crews, as they went under the
bridge, were rowing steadily at rs
strokes TO the minute, neither appar-
emily exerting itself. Evidently Har-
yard commenced to use more power
and although Cambridge already had
the race won and had the advantage
Of water conditions, the E~nglishmen
we're compelled to increase their
stroke to 80 and finished a tired out
crew. Donaldson was ready to col
lapse and Brookes in the bow was
nearly as bad. The remainder Of the
crew padded the boat to the landing
stage.
Harvard men, on the other hand,
were apparently quite fresh and took
their boat across the river at a brisk
rate. English sports say there is but
one explanation of the resultant of
superiority of Craftsmanship and he
E%nglishmen's stroke. Harvard was
one of the finest crews physically ever
seen on the river, but was unable to
overcome that training which English
oarsmen receive from childhood. The
Cambridge crew, too, had in Stuart
one of the best strokes England has
ever produced. 1t has also had the adj
vantage of choice of side, but those
who know the river best say this was
little in their favor with the tide and
wind as they were.
Comment on Race.
Stroke Stewart Of the Cambridge
crew said:
"Filley and his crew rowed a mag
uiicent race. We are glad We won,
but sorry to defeat such good fellows
CdpLdlu Ellcy VI Iue IIdiFdlu pOa'
laconically declared that his men had
been beaten fairly and s%quarely. Coach
Wray was gloomy and had nothing to
say except that he had no excuse to
offer. Coach Mattlebury of Cam
bridge said:
"The Harvard men made up the best
crew ever sent out from the United
States. With another year and a little
more English style the Harvard men
will be dangerous rivals. l hope the
Americans will favor us with another
visit"
The crews dined t'gether at Princes
restaurant.
