For only the third time in 86 years
Harvard's happy hosts today hailed
a stroke-oar great enough to drive
its varsity crew to three straight four
mile victories over Yale in this Oldest
of American intercollegiate compete
tions.
The Crimsons third stalwart son to
gain a rowing triple is Capt. James
Fletcher (Spike) Chace. whose mighty
eight last night climaxed the most
successful season any Harvard major
sport has enjoyed in many years by
defeating a splendid, hard-fghting
Yale crew by length in an upstream
race. That degree of success has been
attained by only two others in the
Crimson's long history, William A.
(Foxy) Bancroft, back in the late
'70s, and the doughty Gerry (Killer)
Cassidy Of five years ago.
Three Wins for Crimson.
Chace, described by Long Tom
Bolles, his Vashington-trained coach,
as the greatest stroke ever saw" is
q prospective bridegroom, and his
mates presented him with a prema-
ture, but highly acceptable, wedding
gift, a clean sweep over the Ellis water
forces.
Before the Chace crew qualified as
the greatest in Eastern college ranks,
the junior varsity, regarded as the
weakest unit in the Crimson fleet,
gained surprising length triumph
over what was regarded as a much
superior Yale eight.
The two-mile success followed the
decisive three-length victory Harvard's
powerful freshmen gained over the
Yale youngsters and that brilliant
performance seemed to indicate that
