In the most exciting finish of the fall sculling regatta finals held yesterday afternoon, Richard G. Ames '34, rowing in the half-mile narrow comp race, nosed out John A. Carley '36 by a margin of a scant two feet. Farley got away to a poor start, but soon made up the ground he had lost: 15 yards from the finish he was leading by a quarter of a length, when Ames, in a sudden sprint, shot ahead to take the race. The time was 3 minutes, 45 seconds.
