HARVARD CREWS
 WIN FIRST RACES
Sweeps to Victory Over Yale in Freshman and
 Junior Races Today

New London, Conn, June 2S.-- (UP)-Harvard's crews swept the Thames this morning in their an- nual race against Yale with the Crimson winning both the Fresh man and Junior Varsity contests. At 7:15 p. m, EDT, the varsity crews will go out for their race and a flood of late money made Harvard the favorite.
 The junior varsity race was close almost all the way, but Harvard turned on the heat near the finish and pulled away to victory.
 Harvard's margin of victory in the Junior Varsity was 8 length and half. The Crimson won the freshman race by litle more than two lengths.
 Harvard's freshman crew rowed the two miles in 10 minutes, 20 sec onds; Yale's in 10:30 4-5.
 The Harvard Junior Varsity did the two miles in 9:35; the Yale Junior Varsity in 9:39... :. ;. .. ..
 Sprinting Start
 Both boats were off to a sprinting start in the junior varsity race. Harvard in the east lane, rowing a 37 stroke, slowly built up length lead over the Lii Jayyees who were a stroke higher at 38.
 At the half--mile Harvard held tightly to its early lead. As Har- yard dropped to a 32 beat the Yale crew even and then forged about 70 feet ahead at the mile, using a stroke that ranged between 34 and 36.
 But the fast pace began to tell on the Ellis. Harvard, showing remarkable mechanical precision, upped it's stroke a beat to B to draw even and then take the lead by length at the mile and a half. About quarter of a mile from the fipish, the Crimson put on a terrific sprint that saw their slender shell draw length ahead. In the last pull they increased this margin to 1 1-2 lengths over the rapidly-tir- ing blues.
