The featured race, cheered
by large crowds which lined
the banks Of the river, was
faultlessly rowed by both Cor

Cornell spurted to the front
at the start and maintained the
advantage although once Yale
pulled within inches of the
Cornell bow. Yale put on sew

by a length in the Carnegie
Cup Regatta and by a bare
foot in the Eastern sprint

Sanford praised his boys per-
