New London, Conn., June 19—By the | narrow margin of four inches Yale won the varsity four mile crew race on the | Thames river here late this afternoon after a struggle which will stand out | in rowing history when the competing | oarsmen are mythical heroes of a for- | gotten decade. Through a long four mile lane of steam yachts and motor Dboats the 16 crewmen . toiled at the Crimson and Blue tipped oars as no galley. slave ever labored under the | lash while thousands of spectators on shore and observation trains shrieked with the falsetfo note that comes with fear or hysterfa. And when the knife- | 1ike prows of the racing shells had cut past the final line of flags and the oarsmen dropped with ghastly distort- ed faces, heaving chests and sweat- dimmed eyes, few of the thousands knew whether the heartless goddess | of victory had perched upon the bow of the Yale or the Harvard racing ! craft. Frantic Waving of Flags. /| On board the judge’s boat at the fin- | ish line could be seen the arbiters of | the race frantically gesticulating in | conference while first a black-flag and | then a Crimson one %m-ed at the end of a long pole. y a black | instead of a blue one should h.l\v‘ai been displayed has not yet been ex- plained. On the white canvas covered gondals of the observation train the | clans of Yale and Harvard, cheered. and yelléd by furn catching hope and | inspiration from the waving flags of those aboard the yachts clustered | about the finish line. ~ Slowly the Har- | vard colors begain to sink as the | judges flnally resorted to the mega- | phone and screamed across the water | that Yale had won its first varsity | race in seven years by a foot or less | in 21 minutes 16 seconds with Harvard | erossing the line one-firth of a second | later. Yale Legions Lost All Restraint. | Then with certainty taking the place of hope the Yale legions lost all re- | straint and the Blue so long furled at the end of these annual dual regattas, flashed forth in the hands of thousands Yale's athletic fortunes. Shore and Yale's athletic fortunes . Shore and water appeared to be buried under the mass”of fluttering color and the sharp Yafe cheers drowned out the long drawn out Harvard rahs. On the roads parallel with the river the sirens and gigantic buzzers of the automobile added to the din for Yale had come into its own again after a period of rowing reverses that tried the hearts of even the most loyal. | Victors and Vanguished Saw Litile | But the victors and the vanquisied saw or heard little of the celebratitg, for they had given t physical all for the time being and exhausted na- | ture was taking her toll. - Drifting | slowly upstream with the tide,’ went | the two shells side by side just as they | lay during the 21 minutes of battle, ' the stress of which is go little appreci- | ated by those who have never sat in| a racing shell.

In the waist ' of the boat Sheldon, No. 4, was doubl- | ed over until his head touched the ! planking while Titus and Sturtevant | struggled with almost powerless arms to revive him with splashes of water.

Great Exhibition of Grit. And well they t, for never in| the history of intercollegiate rowing | has there been a greater exhibition of | bulidog determination and grit on the part of the 16 oarsmen seAted in rival | shells. Once the r pistol had sent them away they rowed side by | side with Yale always setting the pace and Harvard responding stroke | for stroke while one prow slipped ! away a little in the lead only to be partially overhauled by the other. Never Was Open Water Shown. From railroad bridge to Bartlett's Cove the battle of the oars continued and never once was there open water showing between the shells. The Blue h.w advantage by from a quarter ew made its bia for victory a few hundred | drove question as to the right of Yale to the slight margin that musf always go to the winner. It was only the ques- tion of the distance that &eparated the prows of the shells that caused the discussion. The three officials differed as to the inches but after carefully comparing notes cfficially decided that Yale had crossed the line about four inches in advance of the Crimson. Coaches Declare It Closest Race Ever. stated emphatically Both coaches {that they had never seen a closer racée ! in all their rowing experience. Guy Nickalls the Yale coach and former ! Oxford University oarsmen said that he had never heard or seen such a close finish in a race of such a dis- it was a great victory for latest rowing mentor and he showed his pleasure by praising his pupils and their gameness and at- tempting to avoid any mention of his part in the race and its resuit. At Red Top, the Harvard training quarters, there was®nothing but praise for the winners and losing eight that ‘them so hard, Harvard Oarsmen Believed They Had Won. Coach “Jim” Wray said that his crew had rowed a perfect race, holding to form even under the stress of a contest which surpassed anything in his experience. From other sources it was learned that the Harvard oarsmen believed that they had won, even after the blue flags began to wave in ascen- dancy. It was not until the judges told them personally that Yale's shell | was four inches ahead at the four inile mark that they lost hope of the ulti- mate award. The explanation appears to lie in the fact that Yale, according to rowing-experts right at the finish line, that the blue crew swept across at the height of their stroke, while Harvard's shell lost headway as the eight oarsmen were reaching forward for another grip on the water. Blue Led All the Way. The statement was also made in un- official quarters that the Harvard crew was. under instructions to let Yale set the pace, and while there is prob ably littie basis for the report, the fact remains that the blue tipped oars did lead the way up the Thames for vir- tually the whole four miles. As seen from the shores, the shells were &o close that many were misled into naming each in turn as leaders, but the official times show that the New Haven sweep-swingers kept the prow of their shell slightly in advance of Harvard's except near the three and one-half mile point, where the crimson showed in front for a few seconds. Yale Quicker at Start. The wind coming out of the south- east was rippling the waters of the Thames as the rival crews drove their oars into the flooding tide a few min- | utes before 5 o'clock. Yale appeared to get the quickest grip on the .water | lane, ! and shot forward In the west whick she drew in the toss for posi- tions, with Harvard, on the east side of the course, just a few feet in the rear. Both sirokes set a pace of close to 40 to the minnute for a short dis- tance and 'then settied down for the long race ahead. One hundred yards from the start Coach Nickalls' pupils were Jeading by one-quarter of a shell length.. At the half mile mark Yale, rowing 28 to the .minute, was half a length ahead of- the Harvard shell, where Stroke Chanler was pasing his ‘crewmates 30 to the minute. ‘Blue Leads at Mile, 3-4 Length. As the first mile flags slipped behind Yale had increased her lead to three- quarters of a length, using a 30 stroke | to Harvard's 32. Both. shells were traveling fast and the watermanship of the oarsmen was smooth and clean cut. Tho blue put a little more leg drive into their work near the one and one-half mile mark and staved off a Haryard challenge, although the Cam- bridge men cut down the distance by a quarter length. Wray's crew was row- ing a perfect uniform stroke, but did between strokes as their opponents. (Continued on Page Eight) . MISSOURI CONGRESSM;N UNSEATED BY HOUSE. L. C.

Salesmanship is the Power of persuading others to accept you at your own estimate upon which you can continue to make good.” This is as precise a defini- tion of\salesmanship as I dm able to frame says John Lee Mahin, and as applied to merchandise it needs only a change of terms, not of essence. Salesmanship is persuading your man to buy what you have to sell at price which means permanent satisfaction to him ang a profitable compensat'sa for your own labor. Salemanship is service. What is true of salesmanship is likewise true of advertising. Ad- vertising is service. It is one of the most satisfactory and convinc- ing methods of presenting the merits of every salable article for com- parison with the existing household calendar of needs. There is no lost motion. Its action s positive and while it is rendering a service for the advertiser it is performing an equally valuable service for everyone of its readers. It is in fact a most impertant forerunner of salesmanship. Their mission is the same but advertising renders the first and necessary appeal. Unless you are using the advertising columns of The Bulletin with its well-established and thereugh cireculation you are not getting the service vou need and, which awaits your call.
