Tickets for the cheering section at the Harvard-Yale Freshman boat race, which will be held on the morning of the University race, may now be obtained at the H. A. A. Cars 7 and 8 have been specially reserved for 1919's cheering section, and a large gathering of Freshmen is hoped...
...second and Freshman eights rowed to the Navy Yard, and on the way back a very pretty race was held between these boats. The Freshmen rowing four points higher than the seconds soon caught a slight lead and the race was neck and neck until the last drive, when Crew B raised the stroke and finished two lengths ahead of the 1919 men.
