...fare as well. A valiant effort, but unrewarded with the tangent, visible manifestations of victory. No trophy to reward the long hours of work at Red Top. Humiliation and shame is the immediate legacy of their race. The sickening feeling of failure felt in the muscles when the Yale boat passed them and hung ahead out of reach...
