Cambridge Crew Whips Yale's by Four Lengths

Englishmen Take Lead From Starting Gun

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Cambridge crew far exceeded the expectations of even its strongest supporters last Saturday, when it soundly beat the Yale eight on the Housatonic River in Dorby, Connecticut.

Cambridge, the first English crew over to appear in American waters, got off to an amazingly good start, and pulled away steadily from the Yale boat to win by four length. The winner's time time was 8:22.4, while Yale was clocked in 8:36.

The crowed, held down to 10,000 by the christening weather, was in a continuous uproar and cheered for fully five minutes at the completion of the race. Robert Hall, Yale's athletic director, gave tie pins to each member of the Cambridge boat. The gifts were from the Eli oarsmen.

Meanwhile, the Crimson third varsity crew beat American International College by several seconds in a mile race on the Charles River. The distance was shortened because of the choppy conditions due to high winds. Both crews experienced a great deal of difficulty in the rough water. American International pulled a crab about the midway mark of the race but recovered quickly.

The J.V. 150-pound crew also won their race on a three-quarter of a mile course by several lengths.
