Eliot's crew broke the inter-House three-quarter mile record yesterday with a 4:06 win over Winthrop and Lowell. The previous inter-House record was 4:07.
Two factors prevented the Elephants from increasing their margin of victory. Two varsity eights near the finish line forced the shell to swerve out of line before the end of the race. Also, there was a strong head wind.
Winthrop's time was 4:00, while Lowell completed the course in 4:17. In a second race, Kirkland's first boat beat the Eliot's second by one deck length.
