At this point Morgan's crew again came to the fore, and the two boats were on even terms for a while.

The University crew was rowing about 32 and the second about two points higher. This lead was maintained for the next half-mile; but going under Harvard Bridge the second crew raised the stroke and gained on the first until their lead was scarcely half a length when the Freshmen picked them up. Starting three-quarters of a length ahead, the Freshmen soon increased...
