...first crew gave the second about five lengths start which they reduced by a length in the first quarter of a mile, rowing a slightly higher stroke. At the Longwood bridge the first had gained over a length more and hardly two lengths of open water separated the boats. From there to Harvard bridge, both crews raised the stroke slightly and took occasional spurts, but the first was unable to gain. If there was any difference in the relative positions of the boats at the bridge it was in favor of the second crew...
