Rutgers crews row with the same shorter reach and layback that Bolles has introduced here, and reports say they space well, have clean blade work and in the Manhattan race they finished with a powerful sprint at 34 strokes to the minute. It will be an interesting race, but although we can't tell too much it doesn't appear that the Scariet boat can have much of a chance against a Crimson crew that starts easily, swings along with smooth powerful 32 and can spring up to 40 at the finish...
Most famed marathoner in the U. S., Clarence DeMar has not yet shown himself the most enduring. That distinction belongs to Peter Foley, 83, who was so much pleased by finishing 12th in the Boston Marathon of 1906 that he has run in it almost annually ever since, finished 48th four years ago.

Their confidence waned as they watched a Harvard Jayvee boat plow through sloppy water to make up a deficit of more than a length and cross the finish line in a blaze of glory...
...Northrop was pulled out of the mile run and saved for the two mile relay, leaving the field open for Bowdoin's Bob Porter and Rhode Island's Stan Holt, who ran to the tape together in a spectacular finish with the first Crimson runner, Bill Wright, well back in fifth place...
