Three Crimson Crews Trim M.I.T.; One Eight Defeated

Three Crimson crews showed a clean and rippling wake to a like number of M.I.T. eights during informal races on the River Saturday afternoon, while at the same time the Engineer first 150-pounders out-stroked the Harvard 150's to cross the finish line of the Henley in 7.16 and eight seconds ahead of their rivals.

Due to the rather inhospitable condition of the water during the races, all times were rather slow, but still good considering the handicaps under which the oarsmen worked.

The 1937 150-pounders out-pulled their Engineer rivals by some four lengths, turning in a time of 7.20, while the Freshman second crew beat out the Crimson '37 thirds by two lengths and, at the same time, the M.I.T., men by three, in a time of 7-18. In the final splashings, a mixture of Crimson second and third 150's trimmed the Tech second-light-weights by 16 seconds in 7.22.
