The Freshman second crew lost to the Springfield High School eight over the mile and a quarter course in the Charles river basin Saturday afternoon by two lengths and a half. The Freshmen were handicapped by the fact that they had been together only a week and had been trained for the slower stroke of a two-mile race. The times were 6 minutes and 10 seconds and 6 minutes and 17 seconds.
The race started at 6.18 o'clock. The Freshmen caught the water first and began rowing a 32 stroke to Springfield's 34. They gained slightly, but at the quarter-mile Springfield, was drawing ahead. At the Harvard bridge the Freshman coxswain had to steer so close to the other shell to avoid, a raft that Jose at 2 in the Harvard boat struck his oar against that of Hicks, Springfield's number 7, and caught a slight crab. From this point the superiority of the Springfield crew was apparent, and they finished well together, with a strong spurt.
The orders:
Freshman second--Stroke, Hurd; 7, Beard; 6, Davis; 5, MacLeod; 4, Waide; 3, Hadden; 2, Jose; bow, H. Morgan; cox., Warren.
Springfield High--Stroke, Alstron; 7, Hicks; 6, Parsons; 5, Wilson; 4, Bennett; 3, Read; 2, Mathison; bow, Foster; cox., Lincoln.
