...started to pull away gradually as rougher water was encountered, until it had a length and a half margin over Sturges' crew just beyond the Harvard Bridge. The strokes dropped to 29 and 28 as the water grew more troublesome, and the three boats continued downstream and across the finish line with the Sophomores three lengths ahead of the Junior eight, and Lawrence's Sophomore crew another length in the rear. The winning crew covered the course in 9 minutes, 50 seconds. This crew will row the winning Yale class crew on the Basin Saturday, afternoon...
