1916 MEN SUPERIOR ON WATER

DEFEATED JUNIORS BY SCANT LENGTH, SENIORS TAKING LAST PLACE.

The Sophomore crew defeated the Junior crew by about 3-4 of a length and the Seniors by almost 4 lengths in the annual interclass crew race in the Basin yesterday afternoon. At the start of the race the Seniors gained about half a length on the other two but soon lost it, and before the mile point was reached it was clear that the race would be between 1915 and 1916. Throughout the greater part of the race the crews rowed a very low stroke about 32 to the minute. The time of the winning boat was 10 minutes and 47 seconds with the Juniors 3 seconds slower and the Seniors finishing in 11 minutes and 7 seconds.

On Saturday, May 16, the Sophomores will race the Yale class crew which wins the race to be held at New Haven tomorrow.

Following is the order of the boats:

1916--Stroke, Wilson; 7, Jeffries; 6, Foster; 5, Curwen; 4, Boyer; 3, Emerson; 2, French; bow, Whitmarsh; cox., Packard.

1915--Stroke -- J. J. Storrow; 7, Osborne; 6, Apollonio; 5, Fisher; 4, Reynolds; 3, Bacon; 2, Wilkinson; bow, Grace; cox., Davis.
