Yesterday afternoon, on Lake Quinsigamond, the Freshman crew beat the crew of the Worcester High School in a mile and a half race. The time was 7m. 57s., though there was some dispute on this point, and it was announced as 8m. 59s.

The first attempt at a start resulted in a foul by Worcester, but the crews got away in good style the second time. Nineteen hundred caught the water first and led by about a length at the half mile. On the last half Worcester pulled up, but the Freshmen spurted at the finish and won by half a length. They rowed about 36 strokes to the minute and kept well together. There was a tendency, however, to shorten on the finish. The Worcester crew rowed a short professional stroke.
