...over the 1 and 7-8 mile course from the Union Boat Club to Longwood bridge. The winning eight will be awarded their class numerals and the names of the men will be inscribed on a silver platter. The crew will also be sent to compete in the Henley regatta at Philadelphia on May 26. The officials have not as yet been appointed...
...Beacon Cup has been a College rowing trophy for almost 50 years, although it has been several times neglected for a number of years. It appears to have been first offered in 1858, as a prize for the "Beacon Cup Regatta", in which a Harvard crew won from seven others in a three-mile race. In 1866 the cup was made the annual challenge prize for the winners of the spring class races. The cup is a large silver goblet covered with the names of the first nine winning crews, from 1866 to 1874 inclusive. In the three years following...
Work for the majority of class and Freshman crews reached a climax on Saturday in the Annual Spring Regatta. Twenty crews took part in the events, the class championship being won by the first sophomore crew. In the race between the Yale and Columbia freshman crews the latter were defeated by two lengths, the official time being 4 minutes, 43 seconds for the 7-8 mile course. The University crew gave an exhibition row, but no time was taken...
Arrangements have practically been completed to send two crews to the American Henley regatta on the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia, on Saturday, May 26. The winning crew in the interclass races on May 18 will row in the race for university class crews and the University second crew will row in the race for second university crews. Several other universities will probably be represented in these races. The two crews, with one substitute each, and G. Whitney '07, assistant manager of the University crew, will leave Boston on the Federal Express at 7.45 o'clock on Thursday evening, May 24. While...
Last year Harvard was represented for the first time in the American Henley regatta. Then the 1908 Freshman crew which had previously won the class races won the race for second eight-oared crews and the University four-oar finished second in a race for four-oar shells. By entering the University second crew instead of a four-oar this year a strong eight-oar crew, in addition to the Freshmen, will be kept intact for the University eight to row against after the Cornell race. This will somewhat retard the selection of the University four-oar to race Yale...
