was on the whole better tnan that Of the

Cambridge men was noticeably lacking in
power. Both crews caught the water in
fine form. though Harvard plainly had the
better Of the start Harvard had a trihe

gradually drew ahead and at the mile
there was open water between the shells.
At the beginning of the last three-quar-

The blades Of the Harvard oarsmen cut the
water keenly and swiftly and the boat
