GORE CREW WINS INTERDORMITORY GRIND

The Freshman dormitory crews had their brush yesterday afternoon over the three-quarter mile course in the Basin, Gore Hall leading its nearest rival, Standish, over the line by about a length and a half. These two eights were rowing neck and neck for the first half of the distance, but towards the last the race developed into a contest in which it was a matter of which crew could keep up the pace they were going for the longest time, and Gore pulled in ahead. The second Gore boat had third place, and Smith lurched across last. The winning Bore eight will race tomorrow afternoon against Middlesex.

Coach Haines sent his University eight out yesterday with Terry at stroke and the seating just as it has been for the last few days. On the river the men showed up better in the new combination than they have before and the coaches are well satisfied with the progress. Further experiments will probably continue for some days.

Dr. Howe, not satisfied with the one they have been using, tried out a different shell with his Freshman yesterday. The present shell is of the same make as the other, a Davy, built in Cambridge, but it is much lighter and is expected to aid the Freshmen in doing even better than they have so far.
