SECOND CREW TRAILS FIRST BOAT IN UPSTREAM PADDLE

In a ten minute upstream race on the Charles yesterday afternoon, the University Crew triumphed over the Second Crew by three-quarters of a length. The race, rowed in slow time because of rough water, ended at Watertown.

At the beginning of the race, the Second Crew was given a one and one-half length start on the University eight. The seconds held their lead for more than one-half of the distance to be rowed, and was then overtaken by the University rowers, and left behind at the finish.

R. W. Ladd '27, who rowed 7 on the University Crew last Saturday, was absent yesterday because of Divisional examinations. Guy Murchie '29 moved from his berth at 5 to replace Ladd at 7, and he was replaced by Oliver Auies ocC, whose position at bow was filled by J. H. Perkins '27. This same line-up will be used in another race to take place tomorrow afternoon.

On the return from the race Captain Geoffrey Platt '27, who is slowly rounding back into form following his long illness, rowed for a few moments in number 3 on the Second Crew.
