G. W. G. | July 7, 1881 issue

add to cart   close window

A race, despite its closeness, was won in the first quarter-mile, for the lead, which Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut took in that distance was the amount by which she showed in front at the finish. Yale's forty-two strokes gave her a decided advantage in the first minute, and before the Harvard University men could recover themselves their rivals had opened clear water between the boats. For the first two hundred yards it looked as though Yale would win as they chose and the prospect of a repetition of the dreary processions of past years was alarming.
