Tune-30 Harvard drew first blood today by defeating Tale in the freshman and four oar races. Harvard won an easy victory oyer Tale in tbevart ity four-oared two mile race: the crimson iilade crew crossing the. finish line -five lengths .-ahead of the Tale oarsmen. The contest was rowed In a light rain and the rippled surface of the Thames caused slow time. The unofficial time of the win ner was 11 minutes and 53 seconds. Tale caught the water first but the Harvard crew soon put the noSe of their shell to the fore. The strong, even, stroke, of the Harvard men stead ily opened up a gap between the two shells so that at the-mlle mark Tale was two lengths behind.- This lead was increased to three lengths at the mile and three-quarters. Harvard flashed over the finish line five lengths ahead. The , Tale crew was in bad shape at the end of the contest, num ber two almost collapsing. .. . ' i Preparations for the freshman, eight contest were . started soon after the conclusion of the varsity four race. The two shells were brought in tow to the starting line , at the bridge while the observation train awaited the arrival of the -oarsmen. 1 The water was smooth . but . It was raining hard.

The crews of both Tale and Harvard Uni versities meet today in the forty- seventh regatta of the two New Eng land colleges. In point of cormpeti tion these crew races hold precedence over all other forms of dual sports in which the teams of Harvard and Tale are accustomed to match skill and en durance. Stretching back to the au tumn of 1852 the bistory of the inter- varsity races shows that with but a few exceptions during the infancy of the sport, the oarsmen have tested stroke and stamina each year. In point of antiquity, tradition and prominence these regattas yield to no college contest in American sporting annals. Antecedi ng the football, base ball and track meets now a part of the annual athletic curriculum, the boat races are in fact only overshad owed by the " historic series between the crews of Oxford and Cambridge which began in 1841. Added interest is also given the regatta because of the fact that the winning crew will break the tie of victories now existing as a result of the forty-six races that have already -become . a part of the boating history of Harvard and Tale. Since the first race was rowed on Lake Winniplseogee on August 3, 1852, the oarsmen of Tale and' Harvard have matched speed and strength forty-six times, and the total number, of wins for each university is twenty three, showing how evenly matched' the two universities have proved dur ing this period of sixty-one years. Vic tories, however, have not been so even ly apportioned in the matters of years for both Harvard .and Tale have won and lost races in groups-of three or more as a rule. Harvard, opening with, a victory tn the initial contest, appeared to enjoy the experience, for during the first twenty-three races Harvard won fif teen to Yale's eight. fThe Ells turned the tide in 1886, and from that year until 1908 the-regatta on the Thames, so far as the varsity eight oared crews were concerned, saw, the blue-tipped oars ! finishing first in every year ex cept in 1891. 1899 and 19. Then the pendulum swung to the Crimson again and for the past five years Har vard has led the way across, the finish line. " As ia result of this -string of -defeats Tale rowing authorities - decided' that a new system -was needed. It was de- I HARVARD VARSJTY EIGHT Position - . , - .. Age. Stroke L. S. Chanler.

Consequently Yale is found with an English shell, - an English stroke, and two advisory .English, coaches in the persons of J. R; Kirby and Harcourt Gold, both well-known Oxford University oarsmen. It will be seen therefore, that the two university crews came to New London this year after training sea sons of radically different character. Jim Wray, the Crimson coach, who has turned out five winning crews, re mains in charge of the Harvard boat, but the""varsity eight kas still to win its first race this year, having been defeated by both Princeton and Cor nell over short courses last month. Yale has not been tested in an inter collegiate contest this season. . The rowing activities at New Haven have been devoted chiefly to learning the so-called English stroke Whether the resultant greater backward' swing and long recover in the Yale shell will bring to the Blue her first victory in six years has been a subject for ani mated discussion among " oarsmen, both amateur and professional. Since the season's training began there have been many shifts in both crews. Al though the changes" in the Crimson's boat were the more numerous and radical. Harvard will have more vet eran oarsmen than Tale in the con test.: Because of the sluggish tide, the Thames course . is slow as compared with. the", intercollegiate course at Poughkeepsie. .The time of twenty minutes, ten seconds, made by Yale in 1888, still stands as the -Thames record, while the record for four miles lane on the Hudson River is eighteen minutes, fifty-three and one-fifth sec onds, made by -Cornell in 1901. As a marine picture, the Harvard and Yale regatta on the lower reaches of the Thames probably surpasses any thing of its kind in -this country. Be cause: of the -proximity of the Thames course to Long Island Souid, hundreds of steam, motor and sailing yachts are .able to obtain good observation ancmorages near the finish line, where for a day or two thej are aflutter with crimson and blue banners and with signal flags. Large excursion steam ers thronged with syectators crowd in behind the steam yachts; and observa tion trains on either bank keep other thousands abreast of the contest.
