The final regatta of the fall rowing season begins this afternoon. The four crews race over the mile and seven-eighths course in the Charles River Basin from the Cottage Farm Bridge to the Union Boat Club, C and D leaving Newell at 3.50 o'clock and A and B at 4.40. The winners of these contests race over the same course tomorrow.
The club crew races for the Filley Cup are also scheduled for today. The third and fourth Eliot and Thayer boats row over the mile course, starting from the Cottage Farm Bridge the same as the University boats but finishing at the Harvard Bridge. The third club crews race at 4 o'clock and the fourth boats at 4.45 o'clock. The seconds race tomorrow.
The point system used in the Filley Cup competition is as follows: a winning second crew, four points; a winning third crew, three points; a winning fourth crew, two points. If, however, any race is so close that at the finish there is no open water between the boats, the loser in a second crew race is awarded one point and in a third or fourth crew race one-half a point. In every case this credit is subtracted from the winner and given to the loser.
