STANDISH HOLDS SLOCUM CUP

The annual fall rowing regatta came to an end yesterday afternoon with races between the Freshman dormitory crews and the Thayer and Eliot Club crews. The dormitory eights competed for the Slocum Cup over the lower basin one mile course between the Cottage Farm and Harvard bridges. In a close, hard-fought contest, Standish won the race with a strong finish, one-half a length ahead of Gore, the leader over the first part of the course. Smith came in a good third, a length of open water behind Gore. Standish won the annual race last year, and thus will keep possession of the Slocum Cup. Individual members of the winning eight together with its manager will receive medals.

The last race of the afternoon took place over the same course between the Thayer and Eliot club crews of eights raced a week ago, when Thayer won by three-fourths of a length. Several men have left each boat during the week, however, and it was two revised crews that started from the Cottage Farm Bridge at 5 o'clock. Eliot pulled ahead at the start and held its lead until the end; Thayer threatened the leader once near the finish, but was unable to hold the pace, and fell back a length to the rear, while Eliot crossed the line a winner.
