...this point French, who had been stroking the yearling combination at an average of 30 over the course up to that time, raised the pace and the two shells settled down to an even rate of speed. Nearing the finish, the Crimson stroke again went up with the result that the blue lead was rapidly cut down and near the finish it looked like anybody's race for a moment. Yale successfully answered the challenge, however, and spurted to a half length's advantage as the boats shot across the line...
