A powerful and fast-finishing Boston University freshman crew defeated the Yardling eight on the Charles Saturday by half a length. M.I.T. was third, two lengths behind the Crimson.
Rowing against a heavy headwind that churned the Basin, all three crows turned in slow times for the mile and three-quarter course. BU's winning time, 10:26.3, was three seconds faster than the BU varsity time. The Crimson was clocked at 10:30.0, and M.I.T. at 10:47.0.
