The championship Sophomore crew overwhelmed the Yale Junior Class crew at Derby Saturday by six lengths. Rowing in rough water with a following wind the Sophomore eight jumped into a lead at the start and steadily pulled away. The Crimson eight set this year's record for the mile and three quarters distance at Derby, turning in a time of nine minutes, 13 and two-fifths seconds.
At the same time the Freshman 150-pound boat triumphed over the Yale first year lightweights, coming from behind in the last stretch of the Henley distance to win by a third of a length.
