This was the way of the afternoon's other five races, all of which Harvard won except the freshman lightweight race, when the Yardling oarsmen held off their sprint until too late and lost by two lengths to M.I.T., after having beaten this crew the week before. Dartmouth, as in the other lightweight races, finished third. Times were: M.I.T., 7:41; Harvard 7:49; Dartmouth...
Thereafter the race became a matter of withstanding a late and unsuccessful sprint by M.I.T., as the Terriers faded badly. The Crimson oarsmen finished stroking 34 and 35, without great effort and with some power still in reserve. Times were: Harvard 9:45.7; M.I.T. 9:54.4; B.U. 10:05.7, five lengths off the pace...
...then 35 to pull ahead of the Technicians and win by two-thirds of a length over the Henley distance. Dartmouth held on tenaciously during the early part of the race, when the Harvard and Tech crews were nearly bow to bow, and only dropped back during the sprint. Times were: Harvard: 7:29.6; M.I.T. 7:32.1; Dartmouth...
...half lengths ahead of M.I.T. and B.U. The Crimson shell was never headed. Stroke Carlo Zezza dropped his opening 42 beat start to 32 which he held for most of the race. With each stroke, the shell edged away over the calm river, finishing with a 36 sprint, as M.I.T. and Boston University were strung out behind. Times were: Harvard 10:04.4; M.I.T...

Paced by Mark Hoffman, and never led by the opposition, the Yardlings made most of this advantage during the last third of the race. Their power was evident as they put on a handsome sprint with a closing beat of 37. Times were: Harvard 10:19.7; M.I.T...
