CLEAN SWEEP FOR HARVARD

Crews Defeat Three Yale Boats In Shell Races —Latter Struggle Gamely in Varsity Event. New London, Conn., July 1. —Harvard’s day of victory on the Thames culminated with success in the varsity eight.

Harvard’s victories were the most decisive that ever marked the opening of her annual rowing regatta with Yale. The Crimson freshmen eightoared crew beat the youngsters from New Haven by three lengths, and the Harvard ’varsity four bettered this performance a little later by rowing away from Yale in the last eighth mile of a surprising race and finishing four lengths in the lead. .
