AMES WINS CLOSE RACE IN FINALS OF SCULLING

Leads Carley by Two Feet -- Mather, Ward, Roemer, Hallowell Also Take First Places in Regatta

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the most exciting finish of the fall sculling regatta finals held yesterday afternoon, Richard G. Ames '34, rowing in the half-mile narrow comp race, nosed out John A. Carley '36 by a margin of a scant two feet. Farley got away to a poor start, but soon made up the ground he had lost: 15 yards from the finish he was leading by a quarter of a length, when Ames, in a sudden sprint, shot ahead to take the race. The time was 3 minutes, 45 seconds.

The summary:

Half-mile wherry race: First L.W. Mather '37, second. Frederick C. Lawton '36. Time--4:22.

Half-mile novice singles race: First, John L. Ward '34; second. Andrew Marshall, Jr. '34. Time--3:36.
