"""+ Power and Fighting Spirit Drives Blue Boat Over Fin- nish Line a Scant Three Lengths Ahead of Crimson— Harvard Made Desperate Effort to Win But Lacked the Power at the Critical Point—Yale Maintained a Steady 32 Stroke Throughout the Entire Gruelling 4 Miles— Yale’s Time Was 21:53, Harvard’s 22:06. (By the Associated Press) Rowing a steady sustained atroke of 32 to_the minute for the full four miles, the Yale varsity crew defeated Har- vard's eight by close to three lengths n the featurs race of the 55th regatta of the rival universities on the Thames river at New London late Friday after- soon.

Power in Ell Blade Work. The contest which savored more of & well ordered procession rather than a battle of blades was without particular thefll other than the perfect form and oarsmanship shown by the New Haven crew coached by the English oarsmen, George and Jim Corderry. In this T spect Harvard was mot so far behind but the final application of power so notice- able tn the Eli blade work was missing to & greater extent in the beat of the Crimson. The superiority of Yals crew is well Mgstrated by the official time for the race which was won in 21 minutes and 53 seconds to Harvard's 22 minutes and six seconds.

W the race of today lacked the ¢hriliing climax that came some twelve months ago when the Elue, after a long t overhauled their rivals and beat them in a driving finish by a few feet, this absence of thrill was more than made up for by the smoothness and perfection with which today’s honors were won. From the very first catch us the water in what New London rowing vetarans elatm was one of the best starts in Thames river rowing, Yale rowed with the perfection and precision of a machine, Yale Boat Ran Smoothly. Repeated count of the strokes as the various half mile flages were passed found the Elue blades dipping in and out of the water 32 strokes to the minute. The reach, catch, leg drfve and recovery of the eight carsmen was made with an sction 2s of one man, and the Yale shell iraveled forward on the caim, unrippled waters of the river without the slightest ndication of check between strokes. It was a triumph of perfect mechanical ac- ton synchronized in a human machine, Against this tireiess and space-devour- ing sweep Harvard offered a stroke that varied from 32 to 33 and occasionally Jeaciwd 34, but even at the higher beat did not propel the Cambridge craft for- ward with the same speed and evenness that marked the progress of the New Haven boat.

Whils there was no pronounced distress evidenced by the oarsmen of either crew #t any period of the race, or after the fnigh, Harvard's men appeared at times to swing_slightly out of line and the Crimson boatmen, particularly those to- ward the bow, failed to maintain perfect rhythm with the stroke set by Brown. This perfeet synchronism was much more pronounced in the manner in which Stroke Ewing's swing went down through the Yale araft from stern to bow.

Harvard gave,all it had in the long race up river, but the best that the Red Top crew could throw into its work to- day was not sufficient to hoid the Yale eight from victory and the steady man- ner in which the Eli shell drew away from the Crimeon as the half mile flags were passed left no doubt as to the better combination, and Harvard supporters had no excuses or alibis to offer for defeat tonlight. Perfect Weather With Eainbow. The race was rowed under perfect weather and water conditions and in marked contrast to the morning contests. when rough water and squally winds handicapped the forenoon contestants. When the varsity eights appeared at 5.30 at the stake boats under the railroad bridge there was scarcely a ripple on the Thames and though the sky was overcast occasional rays of late afternoon sunshine brightened the course.

P.)—Harvard colors swept to the front in the forenoon races of the annual regatta with Yale here this morning when the crimson freshmen and junior varsity eights defeated their New Haven rivals in two races over the two-mile course. ‘Rowing conditions were far from satisfactory, rough water causing the Yale freshmen eight to swamp near the finish line of the first race, while in the second contest between - the junior varsity eights the Harvard combination was so superior that the most from the start. Gray clouds overcast the sky and Harvard, rowing 32 to the minute, was almost half a shell length in the lead at the half mile, with Yale beat- rhythm quickly overhauled their ri- vals and at the end of the first mile had jumped into a half length lead, still rowing with a long steady 30. Harvard moved up the stroke to 34 and the effect was shown when the two shells hit rough water. The Har- vard boat moved forward with even- ness and headway, but the Yale shell began to slow up and was shipping water in large quantities at the 1 1-2 mile flags, where Harvard, rowing 33, was almost a length ahead. Spray rose in clouds from,the Yale oars and was swept into the shell by the wind and as the craft became waterlogged, the Blue slipped further back until about 200 yards from the finish, the oars- men were forced to jump overboard to prevent.the shell from sinking.

Yale was beating a 32 and dropping slowly as- tern, as Harvard, with long reach and snappy recovery, sent the shell ahead on an even keel and with little loss of headway. Both crews dropped the stroke near the mile, but Harvard continued to gain, especially as Yale on the east course found the water rougher than }; ard, partly sheltered by the west sl The Crimson appeared to feel that the race was won and dropped the beat to 31 at half a mile from the finish and Yale, by raising her stroke | to 33, managed to creep up again, un- | til there w: separating the two eights.

PALITZ AT MYSTIC Now that the boat races are over and the summer visitors are flocking in fans can again turn our attention toward Mystic where they have been staging some real boxing shows. The Mystic A. C., have arranged a pip- ping card for next Wednesday night which should pack the Willow Point Casino up to the rafters. Matchmaker Danz feels sure he has brought to- gether four bouts that will give the fans the best run for their money. For the star bout, Ted Russell, who is a great favorite with the local fans after his knockout over K. O. Miller and a 12 round draw with Billy Car- ney at the Mystic Club, and has been going strong this past season having fought along with the two mention- ed such good hoys as Silent Mike Do- ran, K. O. Palmer at Providence and he has had only one set back at the the hands of. Nate Seigel at Boston to whom he lost in four round will box K. O. Palitz of New oLndon. Rus sell has no alibi to offer for his de- feat at the hands of Siegel but is anx ious to box him again at the Mystic Casino.

An official of the commission said that issuance of the ultimatum to Dempsey does not ta- citly give that body's permission to hold a mixed bout in this state and that the commission “won't cross that bridge until it comes to it.” If the two are matched, however, Dempsey Wil be permitted (o go through with whatever bouts he has already arranged but he will not be allowed to enter into any boxing con- tract until after he has disposed of the Wills' challenge, this official said. After waiting three days after the time originally set, irrecoably the commission vacated the middleweight title held by Johnny Wilson, of Bos: ton, when informed today that efforts{ have failed to match him with Harry |3reb, light-heavyweight champion who had challenged. In addition, the commission revoked Wilson's license to box in this state. Should Johnny featherweight champion, ask for per- mission to box in New York, he must first post a challenge and a money forfeit with the commission, virtually admitting that he is not the cham- Kilbane, deposed pion, the commission official further explained.
