Weld Beat Newell in 17-8 Mile Row

In the graded crew races yesterday afternoon, Weld easily won from Newell. Neither crew had the advantage at the start, but half way to the Harvard bridge, Weld led by a length of open water. Just before reaching the bridge, Newell spurted, but Martin also raised his stroke, and prevented Newell from gaining. At Harvard bridge, Weld led by two lengths, and continued to increase this lead, finishing three and one half lengths of open water ahead of Newell.

The order of the crews was as follows:

Weld--Stroke, Martin; 7, Weston; 6, Maxwell; 5, Platt; 4, Haines; 3, Howe; 2, Robins; bow, Wiggins; cox., Faxon.

Newell--Stroke, Newton; 7, Coe; 6, Hill; 5, Wood; 4, Frye; 3, Metcalf; 2, Morgan; bow, Williams; cox., Cox:
