For the second time in eight days, the freshman crew out rowed MIT by about half a length. This week, however, the time for the mile-and-three-quarter course was 9:4, almost one minute better than the 10:19 registered by the same crews April 23."
Boston University, the third entry in the race, finished better than three lengths behind Harvard and Tech.
BU jumped to a quick lead at the start with a "windmill" 40-beat stroke. Harvard and MIT began with a 36 cadence and overhauled the inexperienced and disunited BU boat within a quarter of a mile. Then Harvard stroke Louis MeCagg eased the count to 31.
As the boats passed under Harvard Bridge, the Crimson led Tech by half a length.
