...failed to appear at the start. The Weld crew led past the Harvard Bridge down to the three-quarter mile mark; then the Riversides forged slightly ahead and kept their lead to the end, although a spurt by the Weld crew cut it down to ten feet at the finish. The Weld crew was somewhat put out in the last quarter by a senior crew of the Riversides, which crowded them out of the inside course and coached their opponents...
