Worcester H. S. Defeated 1909 Crew

The Worcester High School crew defeated the Sophomore eight on Saturday afternoon by half a length, over a 1 1-2 mile course on Lake Quinsigamond. At no time during the race was there open water between the shells and the Sophomores showed much better form than their opponents. The High School crew, however, rowed a higher stroke and maintained it the whole length of the course.

While in Worcester, the Sophomore crew stayed at the Quinsigamond Boat Club, where they dined after the race.

The order of the crews was as follows:

Sophomore crew--Stroke, Wentworth; 7, Ellis; 6, Crandall; 5, Rackemann; 4, Williams; 3, Wood; 2, Butler; bow, Roche; cox, Simons.

Worcester High School--Stroke, Nylen; 7, McDermott; 6, Warren; 5, Fitzgerald; 4, D'Ewat; 3, Kinney; 2, Williams; how, Goe; cox., Burns.
