Crews

Harvard's varsity crew weighs 1480 pounds. It is the beefiest crew that has been put together by any college for a long time. Last week in Philadelphia the Harvard cheering section sitting in a temporary grandstand built on the edge of the Schuylkill River yelled themselves hoarse and the student band boomed and whooped as that beefy crew pulled past the judges' barge three quarters of a length ahead of Penn, with the Navy third. "Beat Yale at New London and then try for the Olympics!" cried Harvard old grads.

At Derby, Conn., the Yale crew, rowing beautifully, beat Princeton and Cornell without drama to win the Carnegie Cup. Cornell was four and a half lengths back at the finish and Princeton two lengths behind Cornell.
