...start, the Yale crew jumped slightly into the lead, heading the University for the first time in six years. After the first sprint, Yale managed to increase her lead slowly until at the end of the first mile it measured a half-length. Then Harvard gained a quarter of a length, and about in this same position the two boats traveled for two miles, Yale's edge varying from 15 to 35 feet according as one crew rested or spurted...
...These four, alternating in the lead, raced within five yards of each other for 1 3-4 miles. Coming into the last quarter, Clark opened up a lead which he held down the back stretch.

Halpin was unable to close up, and Bingham handed...
...University 780-yard relay team also set a new dual record in defeating Yale. E. Stone '15 started for Harvard and took the lead over Scotten for a lap. Then Scotten jumped ahead and Stone was content to trail until the fifth lap when he began a nicely timed sprint which enabled him to turn over about ten yards to J. R. Abbott '14. Abbott held his own with Bayne, and in the third relay the race was decided when W. J. Bingham '16 outran Captain Brown. F. W. Capper '15 was anchor man, running his second race...
