CREW WON BY THREE LENGTHS

WITH LOWER STROKE, UNIVERSITY OARSMEN LED THROUGHOUT ANNAPOLIS RAGE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University crew won by three lengths over the Navy on the Severn Saturday afternoon. The time, 6 minutes, 53 seconds, for the regular Henley distance of 1 mile, 550 yards, was 10 seconds slower than last year.

Under ideal weather conditions the University oarsmen jumped into a lead of several yards at the start, and when a third of a mile had been covered, they led by more than half a length, pulling a stroke of 35, while Annapolis was working at 40 strokes to the minute. When the course was half covered Harvard had raised the stroke to 36 and there was open water between the shells. The Midshipmen tried to pull up but failed, and when the University found Annapolis unable to hold its place, it dropped to a lower and longer stroke, but continued to gain. From the three-quarters point both crews again spurted, but the University still gained and crossed the finish line three lengths ahead.

The crews rowed as follows:

University.--Stroke, Lund; 7, Cabot; 6, Parson; 5, J. W. Middendorf; 4, Harwood; 3, Stebbins; 2, Morgan; bow, Murray; cox., Creger.

Annapolis.--Stroke, Holcombe; 7, Clarke; 6, Emerson; 5, Harrison; 4, Dillon; 3, Rhea; 2, Schlossbach; bow, Ward; cox., Tarras.
