But 3 1-5 seconds separated vic- tor and vanquished at the end of What was one Qf the closest and most spectac- ular aquatic duels ever staged by the two ancient and famous collegiate Tivals. The official .times were: Yale, 20 minutes, 41 seconds. Harvard, 20 minutes 44 1-5 seconds. Tonight Yale adherents are celebrat- ing the victory with exceptional ferver for the blue once again leads in the record of wins, Today’s triumph placed the Elig ahead of Harvard by a margin of one victory. The score standing Yale 27 varsity conquests to Harvard's 26. Aadditional joy is registered for the blue; oarsmen emerged triumphant after a sea- son of reversals which included the sen- sational dismissal of Coach Guy Nick- alls just three weeks before the regatta of today and the installation of P. J. Corderry, who was Nickalls' assistant in the place of the famous Engiish coach. The exceptional showing of both the freshmen and varsity eights today and the thrilling and courageous manner in which Yale oarsmen answered every challenge of the Harvard sweepswingers lifted Yale enthusiasm to fever pitch. Friday night New London was witness- ing a revival of the famous scenes of cel- ebration which in recent years have been conspicuous by their absence. Conditions were almost ideal for a fast race when the eights appeared at the starting line shortly after 5 p, m. both wind and current were down stream. Blue Jumps Into Lead. ‘The water under the west bank of the| Thames was as smooth as a mirror when the Yale eight rowing 41 strokes to the minute leaped into a lead after a' few seconds of fiying drivers. Harvard opened one stroke lower and onee straightened out Yale dropped to a 32 beat while the erimson kept the stroke two motches higher. Nevertheless Yale led by a second at the half mile flags but lost the advantage for a short p jod in the iatter half of the initial mile. At the mile and a half the official ttmers caught the two shells absolutely even each being clocked in 7.50. Yale slowly forged ahead until at the two-mile flags the Elis were about an eighth of a shell length in the van and rowing powerfully but in rather ragged fashion. With a 31 stroke to Harvard's 32 the blue gained an inch of advantage with every heave and at the two and a half mile mark was a third of a length in fromt. FHarcard’s Great Spurt. This advantage was increased to al- most a length at the end of three miles and Yale cohorts on trains, shore and river craft were cheering wildly, but they counted without the fighting spirit of the Harvard crew for it was here that tha Cambridge combination cut loose with a spurt which for a moment appeared like- ly to turn defeat into victory. Without materially increasing the stroke, which was .averaging about 32 the crimson oarsmen put an additional heave and lift into every beat. The Harvard shell began to creep up, the knife-like prow passing first the stroke and the number seven, six and five in the Yale boat. Stalls Off Crimsen Drive, It wag the crucial moment of the race but the Yale crew rallied and with- in a few seconds was under full headway again. FExhausted and spent as they were every challenge and spurt of Har- vard was answered by a similar dash and smash from the Flis. bridge drive ‘resulted about a half length but the effort took much of the reserve power from the crimson oarsmen and soon Yale was leading by three-quarters of a length agah. This distance separated the two eights at the three and one-half mile flags and this was approximately the margin of victory when the two shells slid under the raiflroad bridge at the finish line. Crews Waver Near Finish. The closeness of the race and the efforts to hold or regain the lead told | heavily upon the individual members of the crews. Both were rowing in ragged form during almost all of the last mile and the shells at times apeared to lose headway only to come forward again with another desperate spurt, The stroke in 2 net galn of near the finish was maintained at 34 by Harvard and one beat less by Yale but| much of the force was gone and the stroke and recovery more or less me- chanical. Captain Hord, at No. 4, in the Yalel shell, was the first to show the strain of the struggle and wavering and swing- ing on his slide completed the final half mile in a semi-conscious esndition to col- lapse completely at the finish. Stroke Haldeman and Carmen at No. 2 also showed the effects of the long battle but all were soon erect on their slideg again after a moment's rest. In the Harvard shell the stratn told equally and it was a wobbly eight that dropped their sweeps at the boom of the finish gun but Tike Yale, they were soon ready to step Into the coaches' launch for the return trip to training quar- ters. The final two miles of the river coarse was brilliant with bright flagged yachts, in which the blue of Yale and the crim- son. pennants of Harvard formed the chief decoration. More than forty ob- servation cars crowded to capacity fol- lowed the crews, while thousands of au- tomobile parties and spectators afoot gathered near the fimish and at other points o¢ vantage along the shores. While the great majority of the spee- tators did not arrive until afternoon, and missed entirely the forenoon races, in which Yale won the freshman race and Harvard the two mile junier varsity con- test, the late influx was perhaps in ex- cess of recent regattas. There was very liftle wagering on the result, and what few bets were made were between friends and at even money. The official times of the two crews in the four mile varsity race at every half mile point follows: Yale.

GET THEM NEXT YEAR, SAYS HARVARD CAPTAIN Red Top, Conn., June 24.—At a dinmer of the Harvard crew at their - training Quarters here after the Yale-Harvard boat race tonight, Coach Haines said: ‘Of course the result was not as we would have wished it. However, my statements before the race show that we realized that Yale was improving very rapidly and that the race would be very close. It was an exhibition of clean, hard rowing on both sides.” Captain McCagg said: “We came near beating them and we will get them next year. We will have the old Harvard fight backed by better oarsmanship.” YALE FRESHMEN AND HARVARD JUNIORS WIN The crews divided honors in the morn- ing races, when Yale won tne freshman event by five lengths in 12.-3 3-5. Har- vard's time was 32 1-5. Harvard won the junior varsity event of two miles by 6 lengths in 12.29. Yale's time was 12.53. In the freshman race which started at 10.55 standard time, Yale toox an early lead and was three-quarters of a length ahead at the mile. The final half-mile was a ‘heart-break- ing ore for Harvard. Slowly and stead- ily the blue-tipped oars forged ahead. Clear water showed between the two Shells about 250 feet heyond the three- quarter flags, and after that it was only a question of gameness. And Yale was the gamer. The shell fairly lifted from the water at every stroke, which was deep long and full-powered. Harvard battled hard ,and the stroke was just as deep and just as powerful, but in the final suarter-mile ,something happened to the Harvard shell. It faltered a mo- ment and the crew seemed to have slip- ped a cog, but it picked right up again and kept on. It was A fatal siip, for Yale gained an advantage which it nev- er lost. In the junior varsity race, got away to an unusually Harvard fast start. granted divorces in the superior court here Friday morning by- Judge- Gardiner Greene.

NORWICH MAN HAS LEG BROKEN IN STAGING PALL Alexander Warajonski, 70 Spring street, Norwich, and Daniel Blake, 3v Oneco avenue, New London, were badly injured when 4 staging on which they were engaged in painting a sign at Sta- tion 16, near Flanders, collapsed Thurs- day afternoon at about 2 o'clock. The two men, who are in the employ of the Norwich-New London Sign Co., were working at an elevation of about 15 fe When the staging gave way Blake was thrown into a pile of rocks, and the staging fell on top of him. Fortu- nately, however, he fefl in such a posi- tion that he was partially protected by the rocks# from the full weight of the staging, and his injuries include severe bruises and a general laceration. Warajonski was not as fortunate and received a fracture of his right leg in addition 1o bruises and lacerations about the face and body. Dr. Emanuei A.

Yale made a des- perate attempt to come up abreast in the first half mile, but there appeared to be something the matter in the shell, and at the first half mile Harvard led by two and one-half lengths. Still fighting, and rowing the best form of the entire race, Yale struggled to overcome the tremendous advantage held by Harvard, which nothing short of a miracle could cut down to even terms. Still Harvard gained, and despite the pleading and rageing of the Yale stroke plainly heard by those in the obser- vation trains, the Yale shell dropped backinch by inch, and at the half-way | mark Harvard led by threg full lengths, i which it increased to three more lengths {in the next mile. YALE ATHLETIC COUNCIL BACKS CREW CAPTAIN New Haven, Conn., June 24.—An- nouncement was made tonight that the Yale University board of athletic con- trol has endorsed the position of Captain Stephen Hord of the Yale varsity crew in the controversy over the resignatidn of Guy Nickalls as Yale rowing ecoach. The action was taken after a letter from Mr. Nichalls was read to the board. HARVARD BALLOONS FARED BADLY IN NEW LONDON The Yale boys after the race on Fri- day evening took New London by storm. and for several hours the city was ap- parently theirs for the asking. Groups of Yale undergraduates and more staid graduates went through the streets sing- ing and shouting derision at the support- ers of the Crimson. One group went up State street and near the Mohican hotel they encountered a vender with a load of toy balloons | which were red. This color was appar- ently very offensive to the sons of Kli and they surrounded the vender and with lighted cigars and clgarettes broke every one of his offending toys. Then they tossed him a bill and went their merry way. Another vender who rad both red and blue balloons saw an opportunity to make some money and put his blue toys in a doorway and then paraded out into the street with the red balloons waving Iy over his head and crying “Harvid bloons! Harvid b'loons.” Just as he arrived in the middle of the street a car loaded with Yale boys came along. The vender nonchalantly turned his wares toward them with the desired results. “Pop, pop, pop, bang!" went the frail and the vender turned with out- stretched hands, but alas the car was far down the street. A disgusted and irate vender went back for his blue toys but arrived just in time to see them go sail- ing up the streets in the hands of a crowd of youngsters. Another crowd of Yale students en- countered seven or eight Harvard boys decked out in straw hats with red feath- ers in them. The feathers, standing straight up in the air, fairly shrieked de- fiance at the Blue boys. The two groups glared at each other a second and then one burly Yale lad drawled to the Har- vard boys, “Say those feathers ought to be drooping instead 6f ntanding up straight, hadn't they? Now 1e's see them droep.” There was nothing stirring ameng the “Better droop 'em, son- ny,” drawled the big fellow. ‘“Nothing doing,” said one of the Harvard lads. “Well, let's go!” shouted the big fel- low to his crowd. There was a jump, eight straw hats were snatched from eight Harvard heads, and eight hats hit the sidewalk simultaneously and eight pair of feet were planted in the middle of the hats—two feet per hat. One little fellow in the Harvard crowd waved his hands frantic#lly ™ the air and shouted “Officer ! Officer but apparently the burly arm of the law who stoefl only a short distance away was deaf in the ear toward the boys.

PRESTON MAN FINED FOR SHOOTING DEER For shooting a deer in the woods near Preston, Arthur Parks of that town was arrested and fined Wednesday afternoon on complaint of Count” Game Warden Robert B. Chappell oi New London.
