...Sophomore and Junior class crews met over the mile and seven-eights yesterday in one of the closest and best rowed races of the season. Leading at the finish by about a quarter of a length of open water the 1923 men won the right to represent the University in the class race with Yale on May 20. In view of a slight head wind the time for the race--10 minutes and 32 seconds--was very fast and Coach Brown was well satisfied with the showing and the prospect for the contest with Yale...
...small margin, but Chase, who has developed remarkably this year, and won the event against M. I. T. should give him a hard battle. Chase is a masterly runner, with perfect form, and a complete knowledge of racing. As a rule, he starts slowly, but comes through at the finish with a rush, as he ably demonstrated by overcoming a lead and winning the event from Poole of Technology last Saturday.

Dr. Howe has proved that he can develop a crew which, if it cannot win all its races, will at least always make "a creditable and sportsmanlike showing...

The finish of the quarter-mile was very close, the three men who placed all starting with a 15-yard handicap. H. F. Colt '22 and Curtis forged to the front at the last...
