new JERSEY STATE NEWS.
Boy, 1s, Elopes With Girl, II.

Believing his chum, Raymond g.
Weeks, seventeen years old, was mar
ried secretly the day before, Wesley
H. Ritter, eighteen years old, son of
e. p. Ritter, of New York City, who
is living in No. 204 Allen avenue, Al
lenhurst, for the summer, was mar
ried to Helen Apologize, seventeen
years old, daughter of Theodore Ap-
plegate, of No. "a Mount Carmel way,
Ocean Grove. The couple, accompan-
led by Weeks, who is a son of Joseph
H. Weeks, of Newark, and Miss Ber-
tina Irons, nineteen years old, daugh-
ter of James J. Irons, of Lakewood,
went to Belmar and were married by
the Rev. E. c. Hulse, a Methodist
minister. Ritter and his bride re-
turned to their respective homes, in
tending to keep the news secret until
the bridegroom became of age.
Weeks, however, told that Ritter was
engaged, and when Ritter was asked
about it he thought his chum had re-
vealed the secret and said Weeks also
was married. This Weeks denied.

Varsity Four-oared Race.

New London, Conn.=Harvard car.
ried every honor away with her from
the Thames when her three splendid
crews beat Yale's three in three az
clean-cut victories as has ever been
seen on this historic course.
Her varsity crew led from start tc
nnlsh and won by six lengths in
21:50. Yale's time was 22:1O.
By this victory Harvard won her
second consecutive boat race from
Yale in twenty-eight years.
The greatest crowd that has ever
assembled here on the Thames poured
into New London to witness this race
Harvard's growing confidence in hel
boating system brought double and
q~uadruple the number that usually
follow the crimson to the Thames
while Yale's determination to win
back her glory on the river brought a
record-breaking Yale crowd. The
railroads could not furnish enough
cars to accommodate all the people
who fought and struggled for seats
on the observation trains. 1t was es.
timated that at least 10000 people
witnessed the spectacle from trains
every kind of vehicle, and from a
1otilla of the grandest floating craft
tnat graceS American waters.
Although Harvard won by a hand.
some margin and administered a
crushing defeat to Yale the race was
nevertheless a contest right up to the
last half mile. All the way up the
river the two Fights rowed with al
most equal precision, and a slip of
any kind in either shell would have
turned the victory into defeat within
a few seconds. But there was nc
break in the Harvard boat, Rowine
all the way two strokes and some
times three strokes to the minute
thai Yale, the Harvard eight
crept away from Yale little by little.
For two and a half miles Yale kept
within a scant boat length of her
Cambridge rival. Then Harvard put
on her power and increased her lead
to three lengths, then to four, and
finally to five and six lengths. Yale
spurted with her old-time determine.
ton, but it was in vain.
The explanation of YaIe's defeat is
not difficult. Harvard, with a crew
thai averaged almost six pounds tc
the man heavier than Yale. was able
to row right through the race at a
gait that averaged two strokes to the
minute faster than Yale and still get
out of this stroke her maximum OF
speed.
Any crew that can row in the form
that Harvard OF Yale rowed in and
still row on an average two more
strokes a minute than its rival, and
not exhaust it's men by so doing, is
bound to win, and the margin at the
finish will only be measured by the
physical endurance of the men in the
winning boat.
