8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
New London, Conn., June 13.--Red Top interest today was centered largely in Philadelphia, where Yale's famous crew was winning its heat in the Olympic trials in record time--but slower by two and three-fifths seconds than the winners of the second heat, the veteran Navy Alumni Crew that went to Europe in 1920.
Yale won over the mile and a quarter course in six minutes, nine and three-fifths seconds, followed by the Annapolis varsity crew. The Navy alumni covered the distance in six minutes and seven seconds, still further lowering the record, with Pennsylvania grabbing second place. These four crews will meet tomorrow in the finals, and it looks as if Yale's wonder crew was about to meet its Waterloo.
Crimson Trial Spin Postponed
The four mile time trial for which the Crimson first crew was preparing was not rowed today, but will take place tomorrow, with both the Second and Freshman eights pacing the University outfit over two miles of the course. The seconds may get a chance to race the whole four miles. Practice today for the University boats was confined largely to sprints, with the first crew showing a slight superiority. The Yale Walters eight, stroked by Coach Murphy, made its debut on the Thames today.
On Sunday the eight University oarsmen will be entertained on Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt's yacht, the "Vagrant", while the rest of the camp will again sail under the "H" flags on Mr. J. P. Morgan's "Corsair".
