Surging into the finish stroke for stroke, the Varsity and Junior Varsity 150 pound crews rowed a dead heat over the Henley yesterday afternoon. The trial was the last one of the season scheduled by Coach Bert Haines, but if he hoped it would prove which of his two shells was superior, he was sadly disappointed...
...Varsity was clocked in 6:55 over the Henley, with Cornell crossing at 6:55.8. There was no sweep of the Charles, though, for the Ithacan Jayvees led the Crimson to the finish by three seconds, or three-quarters of a length.

I. T., Boston University, Syracuse, and Cornell away from the stake boats at 5:30 o'clock...

Timetrials are funny things; as anyone who has laid any money on a crew only on the basis of a single clocking will probably ruefully admit. In spite of their apparent worthlessness, however, the Crimson coaching staff is as jealous about the Varsity's latest clocking over the Henley as Dick Harlow is about some of the darker secrets of his latest illegitimate T formation...
