It appeared from his information that Harvard started fast, dropped to a 34 for the body of the race, and rose to a 36 or 37 at the finish. He dismissed briefly suggestions from others that they might be rowing at a more leisurely rate, urging the information that in a race a crew has to maintain a beat of at least 32 to stay in contention...
