Yale put another varsity race to
her credit at New London today,
winning the tours, while the fresh
man eight was captured by Harvard
as sort of consolation prize for her
defeats yesterday and today. The
Fights was the more exciting of the
two races. Harvard just won out in
a hard finish. In the varsity race
Yale made it a procession, winning
by ten lengths.
NEW LONDON, Conn. June 2s.-Harvard
won the freshman eight by one and half
lengths, and Yale the varsity four-oared
race by perhaps ten lengths on the morning
tide on the Thames river today, and the
result confirmed predictions. Coming with
the great victory of the Yale varsity eight
last night the win OF the four today was
a source of qualification to Yale men. and
an evidence Of the efficiency of Coach Ken
nedy's training. 1t was an easy race for
the Blue to win, while the freshman race
was a hard one for Yale to lose, and cor
| respondingly a triumph for the Cambridge
| ing although a mere remnant of the host
| of Yesterday had the courage to stay over
| for them.
Both races were upstream on the incom-
| ing tide in smooth water, and both were
| rowed in slow time. 1t was Harvard
| strength in the freshman and lack OF 1t

| they were. ~

Fine Freshman Race.
| The freshman race a splendid
struggle a fight from the pistol to the
last 100 yards, in which Harvard always
| had tantalizing advantage, with
| enough reserve power to hold aer boat
| lust in the lead. No freshman crews
| ever fought it out better, although the
time was slower than for several years
| in this event. The start was at the
| dra wbridge and both crews broke water
| the instant the pistol flashed, 4 pretty
sample of perfected racing start
| Harvard sent her oars in with hard
| Jerk, which brought just a little lead. The
| stroke seemed little higher than was ex-
| pected. going fully to thirty-four for Har-
| ward and thrty-two for Yale. The pace
| of Harvard told: and nearly length TO inc
| good was hers before the first flag on the
course was passed. Yale tried to even
| matters, but the Crimson could not be
caught In the half mile, right at the navy
| yard bend, the Harvard boat seemed to
| fairly skim along. Yale still had lots OF
strength and spirit. and fought it out good
and hard, but the Crimson's lead was too
| much to overcome. and the Harvard fresh

Yale Gets Revenge.
! AS the freshmen rowed their shells in
| shore to transfer to the launches the four
| cared crews went out to their positions for
| the other race After few minutes delay
| this crew was sent away. The story is
| quickly told. as Harvard rowed itself out
| within a mile and after that Yale was con-
! tent to keep up a steady stroke. which
! slowly added more lengths to the lead she
| had taken at the very outset. Yale at the
finish appeared to have fully fifteen lengths
| to the good with her men as fresh and
| smiling as when they took position. The
Harvard men appeared to be well rowed
| out.

| congratulations came to them for their
pluck. So few Harvard men were about
| that the freshmen winners did not get the
| rousing reception which would have been
| theirs yesterday had the race been rowed
and won as II WIS.
