Red Top Conn. June 20 - Although a
strong northwest wind made the Thames
rough and choppy this evening the Har-
card varsity eight rowed down stream
over the four-mile course in 2o:26 which
under the conditions was considered ex-
tremely fast.
II was after o'clock when the crew. ac-
companied by the freshmen, started over the
course. At the two-mile mark the fresh
men were two lengths behind and dropped
out. There was a strong ebh tide flowing
and for the first three miles the wind
helped the boat along. but for the last
mile the water was so rough that at times
there was danger of laundering. At the
finish the boat was half full of water. the

The fours were left TO their own devices
and padded around quarters wherever

The return was made IN easy stretches.
Kennedy took the second varsity and
freshman tours up stream for a mile and
a half. while the first varsity four was
