...first race, the first Weld, which is also the first Freshman boat, took the lead at the start and held it all through the course, rowing a splendid race until near the end, when it showed poor form. It nevertheless beat the second Weld by about three lengths. The second Weld rowed well, however, and was an easy second. The second and first Newell finished third and fourth respectively with a length of open water between them. The members of the winning crews of each grade received individual cups...
Princeton, N. J., November 1, 1911.--The longest and hardest practice of the year was held on Osborne Field this afternoon, when the Princeton football team was put through a scrimmage of over an hour in length. Baker played a wonderful game in the backfield, but the line with the exceptions of Captain Hart, Duff, and Bluethenthal was again weak.

The weather conditions were fair, although there was a light head wind...
...Hampden-Dunster passed it and was not headed throughout the remainder of the distance. The real interest of the race was in the struggle for second place between Randolph, Weld, and Mt. Auburn street. At Harvard Bridge Randolph and Weld were almost even, with Mt. Auburn street a half-length behind, rowing a much slower stroke, but in the last stretch there was not enough power in either the Weld or Mt. Auburn street boats to keep them up. The Randolph men had a great deal of power, but wasted it rowing a high stroke against the head wind. After...
