AMERICAN HENLEY
Harvard Features the Eiuhth
Annual Regatta of A. R. A.
WINS PRINCIPAL EVENTS
Finishes First in the Junior Col
legiate and Carries Away
Stewards Cup.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May 2l-Har-
ward University featured the eighth an
nuai regatta of the American Rowing
Association on the Schuylkll river this
afternoon. The Crimson first won the jul
nior collegiate eight-sared event, defeat
ing Columbia and the University OF Penn
sylvania. This performance the Harvard
youngsters followed up an hour later by
winning the race for first Fights, the
prize for which was the stewards cup.
In this race Harvard triumphed over two
freshman crews. the Georgetown varsity
and the Wanderers of this city.
BY today's double victory Harvard
equals the record previously held by Cor
nell and Yale, the only other crews to
win both races in single afternoon.
New York and Philadelphia divided
honors as far as the number of first
places is concerned. Each city won five
firsts. Boston was the only other city to
take a first, Earvards two victories go
ing to her credit.
Harvard and Columbia looked to be
pretty evenly matched for the junior col
iege event. For the first half mile the
Crimson had trouble to keep ahead Of the
Columbians but when the halfway point
was reached the Harvard shell went to
the front and gradually drew away from
Columbia, whose crew had all it could do
to keep ahead of Pennsylvania. Harvard
finally won by length of open water
Pennsylvania made pretty squirt in the
last 100 yards and managed to get dead
heat with Columbia for second place.
The freshman race between Columbia,
Yale and Pennsylvania was a walkaway
for Columbia. The New York youngsters
rowed in ragged form, but they had a
most powerful stroke and cut through
the water at tremendous clip.
In the race for first Fights Georgetown
gave Harvard a battle all the way. For
two-thirds of the distance the Cambridge
crew was leading by the narrowest Of
but in the last quarter mile
hit up the stroke and finished
almost length in advance of George
town. whose crew was three lengths
ahead of. the Wanderers.
The best struggle among the cluo crews
came in the special event for second
Fights open only to club crews The Wah-
netahs of Flushing, y. Y, assumed the
lead at half the distance and crossed the
line half a length in advance of the
a heavy rain just before the start kept
down the attendance to about 1000. The
course was slow, no records being broken.
