The second crew was given a start of 20 seconds, and although it led throughout the entire distance, the first gained steadily and at the finish there were but a few feet of open water between the two boats.

Neither crew rowed with much life or vigor. Coach Higginson, who directed the work, gave particular attention to getting a clean, firm catch...
