ATHLETIC HISTORY Frank Harris and Sherm Wing were awarded numerals in Freshman year in that tough grind, cross country. C few Long Ned Wilson handled the No. 4 oar and Frank Hunt coxed on a strong Freshman crew that defeated all competition, with the exception of the Pennsylvania frosh. Fitz Quarrier, carry- ing on a family tradition, pulled a lusty oar on the second crew. Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Kent, and Harvard succumbed to the superior power and precision of Captain Ben Taylor's 247 nn. 9 ay fi ,Jizz I' H4 f l S hcl? Zl'LlCk.S'lEl'.

During the summer the Na- tional Intercollegiates were held at Long Beach, Calif., and Yale sent her Varsity, one of the greatest sprint crews in the country, to compete. In the pre- liminaries Yale won over Cornell and Cali- fornia Qwhose crew men. At New London the Blue stroked over the course in 8:16, 14M seconds ahead of the Crimson, to a new Freshman record. The Freshman ISO- pound crew, which had for years been a Sheff monopoly, did not include any of our men in its ranks. As Sophomores we saw the Varsity again but lose the four-mile Winter sport.

ATHLETIC HISTORY 249 had won the Olympics the year beforej. In the finals Yale com- peted against Cornell, Harvard, and the powerful Washington eight. The four-boat race rapidly took the aspect of a race between Yale and Washington, Washington winning by the very slight margin i of 53 second, Cornell and Harvard finishing third and fourth, respec- tively. Iunior year again showed Ned Wilson at No. 4, in a boat that this year did not take the wash of any crew. The Blackwell and Carnegie cups were won by Yale, and in neither race was the Blue pressed hard to win. On Iune 22, at New London, this great crew fulfilled the promise of the early season, by stroking to a decisive victory over Harvard in the fine time of IQISITQ, a margin of victory of 9472 seconds. y This was the first victory over f Harvard in a four-mile race our Class has seen, but with such fine CUPWZIV1 Kl'UP01 1f- oarsmen as Captain Kilborne, Pills- bury, Wilson, and Taylor back for this spring, we may hope with some degree of confidence that we may see another before we leave. ' Yale sent her ISO- pound crew to com- pete for the Thames Challenge Cup at Henley in England, but had the misfor- tune of meeting the ultimate winners in the second trial. Baseball Iohn Dugan, Bob Wheeler, and Ted Gardner helped to loe. make up one of the Clyde.
