HoNoRS EVEN IN MORNING;
EACH VICTOR WINS EASILY
b. Associated Press.

6y Assocldteu Fress.
NEW LONDON. Conn.,, June 25.-
With honors evenly divided, two of the
Harvard Yale boat races were rowed
today Yale winning the four-oared
varsity substitute race and Harvard
finishing in front in the eight-oared
event. Enthusiastic crowds viewed the
races from the river banks and from
the myriad of pleasure craft which
lined the course and greeted each of
the victors with tumultuous demon
strations OF approval.
Secretary Taft did not come from
New Haven for the early races, reserv-
ing his visit for the varsity eight
cared race this afternoon. The presi-
Dental yacht was anchored near and
Mrs. Roosevelt and the Roosevelt chill
dren stood on the deck. waving their
greetings to the triumphant crews.
There never was a doubt as to the re-
suit of each race from the start to
finish. In the four-oared varsity SUBJ
race Yale forged ahead soon after the
start and at the half-mile flag Yale
was leading by a full length. Another
half mile had opened q gap of clear
water between the boats. Steadily
Yale maintained her lead and crossed
the line an easy winner amid scream
ing steam whistles and booming signal
guns.
The eight-oared freshman race fol-
lowed Immediately, with Harvard this
time the victor. The Harvard shell
was sent we'll to the front early In
the race and there 1t stayed. Early
in the first half mile, Yale spurted
and drew up few feet. but again
Harvard responded and drew away un-
til clear water showed between the
boats. Thus they fought 1t out. with
Harvard crossing the line we'll In the
lead amid tributes OF the assembled
fleet and multitude lining the shores.

''rah, rah, rah, Harvard! came from

GriswoId was helped from the Yale
boat and, tagging far behind the Har-

made their appearance, half mile be-

ovation for their pluck under such dis
heartening conditions. :.

enthusiasm Is Great
There was a scene of tumultuous
as the Harvard sup
porters welcomed the victors and cele-
brated their triumph. 1t was twilight
as the great din moved sho- lard from
the river banks, turning from the
fleet, sparkling with electric lights, to
the streets of this old shipping town,
which is, indeed, hot town tonight.
Soon the college men began to move
to their home colleges, the outgoing
trains taking crowds to New Haven
and Cambridge, Secretary Taft being
among those leaving early for New
Haven. A little later the Mayfiower,
with the presidential family aboard,
moved out toward the sound and
headed toward Oyster Bay, the other
yachts and the throngs of visitors
scattered, and the Harvard-Yale boat
race of 1908 was a memory.
At the Yale quarters 1t was found
that Griswold, whose home Is In Erie,
Pa, simply suffered a complete ner-
vous collapse. He was quickly revived
but his grief was pathetic to behold.
Captain Ide stood loyalty by him, as
did every man at the Yale quarters,
and there was nothing but sympathy
for him, even from the wearers of the
crimson. Griswold was not over
trained nor was he out of condition.
He simply suffered an utter nervous
breakdown. BY the time the Yale
launch reached Gales ferry he was able
to walk to the dressing room.
