Blue Wins Victory in Fresh
man Fights, but Crimson
Wins Sub Varsity Fours !;
Varsity Fights Late.

New London, Conn, June 30
Harvard break even in the two races
on the Thames river today prelimin.
airy to the great varsity Fights strug-
GLE The blue oarsmen pulled out a
victory in the freshmen Fights, by a
superb squirt in the last half mile.
while the Harvard sub-varsity fours,
leading from the start, defeated Yale
by two lengths. Both races were well
rowed, but contrary wind and a
slack tide made the time slow in
each race.
Official time of the freshman race:
Yale. 1888; Harvard, 11:591s.
Official time of the varsity fours:
Harvard, 1897; Yale, 1852.
While the four-oared race was al
ways in Harvard's command the fresh
man race was a good struggle and full
of excitement.
Although last in order for the days
program, the first in Importance is the
varsity eight-oared contest. The bet
ting favored the crimson oarsmen,
among the hotels and along the water
front this forenoon and the odds,
which were ten to nine on Harvard
increased to ten to six before ten
o'clock today. No one could give a
definite reason for this confidence in
the crimson crew, but 1t was noted
that there was comparatively little
Yale money in sight.
The river was filled with yachts, all
gaily decked with flags and bunting,
the spectacle they afforded being one
of the most attractive that has been
seen here in many years.
Anchored UP the east side were the
three white CARRIED revenue cutters
and the derelict destroyer Seneca, on
which Captain p HI Uberroth. the
commander of the squadron, gave his
orders to the flotilla OF small boats
assigned for patrol duty
The Freshman Eighths.
The freshmen oarsmen stepped into
their shells from the two launches
John Harvard and Elihu Yale, and at
10: 40 o'clock were ready for the sig
nal.
After the crews got near the starting
mark, just under the bridge, the Yale
crew protested against starting the
race on account of the strong wind
and water. Harvard wanted to row
at once but consented to a delay until
1870 o'clock
The starting pistol sent the fresh
men away on their mile struggle at
1925 o'clock. In the first dozen
strokes Harvard pulled out one length
in the lead, but Yale came up strong.
Yale won the freshmen Fights race by
two lengths. The official time of the
freshmen race was: Yale II: SO; Har-
ward 11:59h.
Varsity Substitute Fours.
After the cheers from boats and
shore that greeted the freshmen crews
at the finish, had subsidized. the varsity
substitute tours lined up for their two
mile stretch still farther up the river,
with the rowing conditions in good
shape, 1t took some little time to get
the tours into position but at 1888
the pistol shot sent them away. Har.
ward jumped into the lead at the start
by half a length but Yale quickly drew
up almost on even terms.
Harvard won the varsity substitute
tours race by three lengths. The Of.
fetal time Of the tours race was:
