...former event, G. W. Ryley '10 and H. Guild '10, running from scratch, caught up with the other men some of whom had 75 yards handicap until in the last 100 yards they came to Bowles, who was leading. Bowles, however, sprinted and the other two were unable to catch him. The time, one minute 56 4-5 seconds, was slow on account of the wind. In the two-mile race, W. A. Perkins '12 with a 100-yard handicap led during the last five laps. He ran with good judgment and an easy stride. During the last half-mile...

When Stratton, who is sick, returns to the boat at 2. Nelson will move to 7. replacing Parmenter who will occupy that position on the second crew. Abeles was temporary coxswain yesterday and will continue so today. The third boat is showing quite good form: in fact, they have been getting together as eight men better than the second crew, though individually they...
