After having trafled for more tk half of the four mile course the Elis came through with a splendid rally that quickly pulled them into the lead Once in front they never were headed and they swept up to the finish line a length and a half in front of the Harvard eight. Yale's time, 21 minutes 42 1-5 sec- onds, was 1 minute 40 1-2 seconds e- hind the record for the e down stream, set by the Harvard crew in 1916. The difference between the Blue's performance vesterday and the ' course mark was equal to about thirty boat lengths. Harvard was caught in 21 minutes 47 2-5 seconds. s victory put it the Crimson in ter of successes in varsity races s they inaugurated their Lake Winnepesaukee, New Hamp shire, in 1852. Fach institution now has twenty-six races to its credit. Harvard’s crews went out on the Thames with the cherished ambition | to duplicate the remarkable feat of | the eight og 1916 who swept the ! river. By unoon that ambition had been tansformed not merely into a strong threat, but into a direct | menace. But in the cool of the| evening it was balked in no uncertain | fashion. - Harvard needed only mae; | on tk equal | mat- nce meetings on | | ‘varsity race to make good its threat, for in the morning, in two mile con- tests that developed truly homeric struggles, Harvard had won both the freshman and second varsity events. Late Start for Varsity Race. The varsity race was marred by a | lot of insufferable delay, first be- | cause of jockeying by Yale and then | because the water became too rough | for a race. For a time it was thought | that the contest would have to be postponed until today. William | Meikelham of New York and Colum- | bia, the perennial referee of the gatta, went out time and again look over the course and always came the disappointing news that he re- | garded the river as being a trifle too | rough for an even and interesting | race. In this opinion he was not un- enimously supported. But at last at 7:51 p. m. to be exact, crews were sent away. From the | Ty start it developed into a race of decade and ®on the 7,000 in the | observation trains on both sides af | the river and the 10,000 or more on craft in the river and at points of | vantage on the banks forgot their chagrin over the repeated postpone- | ments in their zest for a great centest | and their eagerness over a struggle, | the winner of which promised to be | in doubt until last strokes had been pulled. re- | to | | | £y ve: Yale Eight the Better. “Harvard’s varsity proved itselt a | great crew even in defeat, but it was not equal to the smoother power, the better finish of the Yale eight. Nor did Harvard's crew, in spite its having been coached by a profe sional, Bill Haines, prove the equal of, Yale’s in the matter of general- | ship. And that too in spite of the Elis having been taught by a faculty | coach, Prof. Mather Abbott of the | English department. | It was a wonder race every foot of | the four miles, but what a battle it | was in the last two miles, after Yale | had taken the lead. Harvard was | firgt to catch the water, and for the | third time yesterday one of Haines's crews gained the lead right at the| tart. It looked like anothet victory | fror Harvard, and even before the mile | Jhad been reached considerable Har- jard money came out of hiding. And | arvard stayed in front, never lead- | ng by more than an eight of a length, | ut always leading just the same. | Harvard Leads at Two Miles. bighth of a length as they passed the pigth of a length as they passed the | havy yard, the two mile e eemingly was having trouble holding s own and there was many a suspi- | fion that the Flis might be playing bossum. Del Leighton, the Harvard | roke, Wwas setting a great pace for | s fmen and he was setting it in a eat way too. He practically was Iling his crew along. Then the crews dug into the second 1f of the gruelling contest.
