HAMPDEN-DUNSTER WON

The Hampden-Dunster crew had little trouble in defeating the five other boats on the Basin yesterday, thereby winning the Filley Cup for dormitory crew racing. Randolph finished second, about three lengths behind Hampden-Dunster and a length ahead of Weld. Mr. Auburn street, Russell, and Claverly finished close together in the order named. The weather conditions were fair, although there was a light head wind.

Shortly after 4 o'clock the crews took their positions below the Cottage Farm Bridge in the following order from the Boston bank: Weld, Randolph, Mt. Auburn street, Russell, Hampden-Dunster, Claverly. Claverly caught the water first, and took a short lead, but within a few strokes Hampden-Dunster passed it and was not headed throughout the remainder of the distance. The real interest of the race was in the struggle for second place between Randolph, Weld, and Mt. Auburn street. At Harvard Bridge Randolph and Weld were almost even, with Mt. Auburn street a half-length behind, rowing a much slower stroke, but in the last stretch there was not enough power in either the Weld or Mt. Auburn street boats to keep them up. The Randolph men had a great deal of power, but wasted it rowing a high stroke against the head wind. After Harvard Bridge was passed Russell and Claverly had a close race for fifth place, Russell winning by a few feet.

Graded Crews at Newell and Weld.

The next two weeks will be devoted to the forming of crews at the Newell and Weld boathouses in preparation for the graded crew races. Every man will be given a seat in one or another of the boats, and members of the winning boats in each grade will receive cups.
