1916 AND 1917 BOATS LOST

Junior Crew Defeated by Second Freshmen and Sophomore Crew Beaten by Union Boat Club.

The second Freshman boat and the Junior class crew raced over the regular Henley distance yesterday afternoon, from the Union Boat Club to the Cottage. Farm Bridge, the Freshman crew winning by a length. The 1918 boat jumped into the lead at the start, and at the halfway mark was a length and a half ahead of the Junior. In the final spurt the Junior boat gained about half a length, finishing a length behind.

As the result of a race held Friday between the third and fourth Freshman crews, only three Freshman crews are now retained and two substitutes, Knauth and Putnam.

The Sophomores rowed against the Union Boat Club crew, losing by less than a length. The older men were able to maintain a lead from start to finish, even though they pulled at a somewhat lower stroke than the Sophomores, who were rather ragged.
