HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Eight Crimson oarsmea, members of the third 150-pound University crew, and their coxswain were dumped into the Basin late yesterday afternoon when high winds raised waves which swamped the shell. The accident occurred some 100 yards beyond the other side of the Harvard Bridge on the Boston side.
After their craft capsized the oarsmen clung to it for some time, but despite their efforts the waves drove it against the Basin wall. Later examination revealed an eight inch split in the how and a large hole in the stern.
The lightweights were picked up by the Harvard launch, and carried to the Tech boathouse, where Coach Bill Maines of M. I. T. sent them back to Newell in a Tech launch. The Harvard shell was carried to the Tech float for examination, then towed by the Harvard, launch back to Newell Boat House. None of the men in the capsized boat were injured.
