However, the men from Ithaca were weak at the start and were outdone by a withering forty sprint from the Blue at the finish. There is reason to believe that the Crimson is capable of duplicating the Yale strong start and finish race...
Kirkland's powerful eight swept the Charles yesterday in the finals of the inter-House crew regatta, leaving Eliot, last year's champions, by a length and a half, and thereby earning the right to race a Yale boat on Saturday...
