The annual Harvard-Yale boat race was rowed on the Thames June 28. Yale won easily in 21 minutes and 30 seconds; Harvard's time was 22 minutes, 5 seconds. Yale went to the front with a good lead almost in the first twenty strokes which they continued to increase up to the two-mile flag, where Harvard began to close up the gap a bit. Harvard made another attempt to catch the Yale boat at the three-mile flag, and succeeded in gaining a few seconds, which they held to the three-and-a-hald-mile flag. Thereafter Yale continued to pull away steadily, notwithstanding Harvard's desperate spurt toward the finish. An occasional break between four and five in the Harvard boat was about the only fault to be seen in either crew. The winning time was not fast considering the conditions. Both crews rowed in excellent form from start to finish, Yale excelling in blade work and Harvard in body work.
