The first division was topped by the crew of Emil Mosbacher and Warner Willcox of Dartmouth, who garnered 78 points.

In the second division, the Crimson crew of Bob Sherwood and George O'Day ammassed 60 1/2 points to gain fourth place. The victorious Indian skippers took a first in the first race and third in the second race to total their high score of 141 points.
