Harvard was a nose in front at the start last week on the Thames in New London, but little Gillespie, the Yale coxswain, was shouting less often into the face of Woodruff Tappen, the big stroke.

At the Railway Hole he played into Principal's Nose, famed bunker. Suddenly Jones found his putting touch. Needing a long putt for a half at the 17th to avoid going home one down, he sank it.
