one all the way. The young Middies
secured lead of a quarter length in
the first few hundred yards of the
course. only to be soon overtaken by
the Quakers. In fact it was a contest
wherein first one and then the other
crew was in front by a fraction Of q

went to the front again. They set a
pace that was telling. and the plebes
made heroic but futile attempt to
overcome the lead of nearly boat
length that their opponents maintained
until the end. The winning time was
made by the Navy first crew.
In the four-oared event the Arun-
deis, by getting a better start. led the
Mddies for a short time. but they Were
soon overhauled. and after passing the
halfway mark the rest of the race was
virtually a walk away for the sailors

In the varsity event. the Middies took
the lead at the outset. and although the
Quakers put up gallant fight, they
were unable to overcome the fast pace
sci by the Sailors The Middies rowed
in excellent form. and when the half
way mark was reached they had estab-
ushed lead of over one and a half
lengths They gradually increased this
over the remaining distance. and their
fnal squirt counted for an advance or
more than three lengths at the hnish
line.

reverse of the varsity event. The Baiti-
Ynofeans got away In u good start and
