Both the Crimson and Blue shells have taken the wash from a rival boat once this season. But the only victor over Harvard was the Annapolis eight, generally considered the strongest crew in the country, and the probable winner in the Poughkeepsie regatta Monday. Yale's colors were dipped only to Princeton in an amazing upset on Lake Carnegie, in which the over-confident Eli eight was caught napping. Both of the rivals have beaten Cornell and Pennsylvania; Harvard has defeated M. I. T. and Yale has taken Columbia's measure. So for the first time in many years...
...open-water lead, the Elis conserving their strength until the last two miles, when they pulled ahead to win. If Yale gets behind tomorrow, they will find it difficult to catch up. Stroke John Watts '28, once his crew gets the lead, keeps his eye on the rival boat, matches every sprint, and strives to catch the oppoing coxwain napping.

...Combination eight was also out, but Coach C. S. Heard '25 has made a radical shift in the personnel of his boat and spent the morning coaching his charges. E. B. Hanley '27, formerly rowing in the number 7 seat in the 150-pound crew has been moved up to stroke the Combination eight, taking the place of B. J. Harrison '29 who has been moved back to number 6. D. R. Kroell '29 who has been rowing in the number 6 seat dropped out of the boat...
