Bert Haines's prize package 150 pounders lived up to all hopes last Saturday as the first boat nosed out the Eli lightweight crew by a third of a length on Lake Carnegie to take the Goldthwait Cup. The Princeton crew was left three lengths in the wake.

With a superbly fast start, Vince Bailey paced the fifties out to a deek-length lead immediately at a beat of forty. From then on the Crimson crew gradually lengthened the lead until the half-mile mark at a 36, where it settled down to a stroke far lower than its opponents and kept its position to the end of the race.

Earlier in the afternoon the second 150's had trimmed the Yale lightweight Jayvees by a handy two and a half lengths, and at a time which puts both the Crimson Varsity and the Jayvees on a fairly even footing.

The dead water on the Princeton course makes the stroking for the race far more difficult than under ordinary circumstances.

The Varsity Boating: Bailey, stroke; Turner, seven; Pierce, six; Gifford, five; Hazard, four; Croker, three; Koenjger two; Gilkey, bow; and Larner, cox.
