...Yale stroke, set at a much higher beat, makes little use of the long lay-back favored by the Harvard oarsmen, with the result that the Blue tipped oars, while at a higher clip, do not pull the length of water handled by the Crimson sweeps...
...production. California has a State Oil Umpire (F. C. Van Diesne) to curtail production. Potential production is estimated by a general engineering committee of the oil operators and from these estimates Umpire Van Diesne prepares his orders for allowable production. His most recent order is calculated to clip some 200,000 barrels per day from California's oil flow, bring production down to around 600,000 barrels per day or less. The California method of production limitation may well prove a starting point for the discussion at Colorado Springs...
After the Southern trip where Coach Mitchell's charges walloped the ball at a fast clip in the face of ragged early-season hurling, the team has slowed down and batting averages have gradually fallen to their present position...
...first-year race was even less of a contest, for the rough water conditions proved too much for the Tech oarsmen. Harvard jumped them at the start and drew away easily at a 30 stroke-per- minute clip, with their rivals trailing at a-28, until there were two lengths of open water between the boats at the Harvard Bridge. After the mile mark was passed, the engineers started catching crabs which proved fatal to their chances of winning, and a quarter of a mile from the finish the stroke man caught one which temporarily disabled the entire crew, although...
...Saturday. Watts held the beat four or five point higher throughout the race yesterday than he did three days ago, but Swaim's crew were prepared for a close contest, and made a much better showing. The crews rowed down the course at a 32 stroke-per-minute clip, little hindered by a light head wind, which had less effect than did the cross chop from several launches which had passed over the course. Crew X had a slight lead as the two eights passed under Harvard bridge, but Watts forced his shell ahead to a position almost a length...
