FIRST FRESHMAN CREW RACE HELD YESTERDAY

In the Freshman crew race held in the Basin yesterday afternoon, crew H, stroked by J. M. Byrne, won by half a length over its nearest competitor, crew B, stroked by J. W. Fox, Crew C followed crew B across the line at a disadvantage of half a length, with crews F and E only a few feel behind. There was a little open water between the stern of crew E and the how of crew E and the bow of crew D, the last of the six shells to cross the finish line.

Coach H. H. Haines said after the race that the rowing was good for fall practice, and that the time was satisfactory, in view of the slow stroke used at this time of year.
