...rowing 39 to the minute, went into the lead on the second stroke. Columbia was rowing 38. After securing a slight advantage, Sargent dropped the stroke to about 35, and the University crew passed the quarter-mile mark a third of a length ahead. At this point Columbia was still struggling desperately at 36 to the minute. At the half-mile the University crew led by half a length, and, although the stroke had been lowered slightly, still drew away. A quarter of a mile further the lead had been increased to open water, and at Harvard Bridge the University...
