Only four of the 109 oarsmen who were scheduled to run yesterday from Newell Boathouse were afraid to brave the storm. But it took the rest of them twenty minutes longer than usual to cover their two miles.
The intrepid 109 left the boat-house at 5.15 o'clock, crossed Anderson Bridge and followed up to the Cambridge bank of the Charles. They stumbled through the slush almost to the Brighton bridge. In crossing the ice several men fell down, but the pack continued cursing on its way back along Soldiers Field Road to the Newell boathouse, where they were clocked in 37 minutes from the starting time.
