JUNIOR CREW OUTCLASSED SOPHOMORES ON CHARLES

The Junior class crew defeated the Sophomore eight in the one and only race of the interclass season on the Charles yesterday afternoon. The water was smoother than had been expected from the high wind earlier in the day, and the crews were able to use the one-mile course down-stream between the Cottage Farm and the Harvard Bridges.

The boats started rowing a 28 stroke, but this was quickly dropped to 24. From the beginning the Juniors pulled into the lead, and at the quarter-mile mark were ahead by a fourth of a length. The 1918 crew were smoother, and, rowing a higher stroke, put more drive into the shell. At the half-mile they had increased their lead to three lengths, which they maintained to the finish. The Sophomores did not put their stroke up until the last four hundred yards, and then it was too late to cut down the open water between the boats. The time of the winning crew was five minutes and 56 seconds. Medals and possibly numerals in an oval will be awarded to the members of the Junior eight.

The boats raced as follows:

Junior.--Bow, Jordan; 2, Briggs; 3, Storer; 4, Poor; 5, Burr; 6, Weld; 7, Williams; stroke, Balch; cox., Hawkins.

Sophomore.--Bow, Baker; 2, Canfield; 3, Greenough; 4, Parker; 5, Chase; 6, Batchelder; 7, Gaston; stroke, Coleman; cox., Mitchell.

Mile Race For University Shells.

There was also a short one-mile race between the first two University shells which the second won by a quarter-length, although it rowed a slightly lower stroke. By the return of D. L. Moody '18, who had been out with an attack of the measles, and of A. Coolidge '17, the first boat took on a more normal appearance than it has shown during the confusion of the last three of four days. F. B. Whitman '19 and R. R. Brown '17 were shifted to their old positions at 2 and 6; Coolidge took his former position at 7, and Captain H. B. Cabot '17 was moved forward to his regular seat at 3. The improvement in the boat was marked, in spite of the recent distractions. In order to keep the men up to the mark in anticipation of a possible race with Princeton during the Easter vacation, the squad resumed training today, and will continue to practice for a contest. The three boats are seated as follows.

University A.--Bow, Potter; 2, Whitman; 3, Cabot; 4, Franklin; 5, Moody; 6, Brown; 7, Coolidge; stroke, White; cox., Cameron.

University B.--Bow, Darling; 2, Wiggin; 3, Fisher; 4, Culbert; 5, Parkman; 6, Pope; 7, Brazer; stroke, Emmet; cox., Read.

University C.--Bow, Thorndike; 2, Hall; 3, Allen; 4, Machado; 5, Richardson; 6, Brewer; 7, P. Cabot; stroke, Leighton; cox., Derbyshire.
