...boat race between the Freshmen crews of Yale, Cornell and Harvard will be rowed on the Thames at New London this afternoon over the two-mile course. The Cornell crew is considered faster than last year's, and from the recent practice has given evidence of more speed than either the Harvard or Yale Freshmen.

FROM THE PRESS BOAT, NEW LONDON, June 22.- The intercollegiate boat race between Harvard, Yale and Cornell which was to have taken place this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock has been postponed until 12.30 tomorrow on account of unfavorable conditions.

There can be no doubt of the men's ability to last, and they have in Dobyns a tried stroke...

The Weld got an excellent start and almost immediately gained a length over their opponents. Both crews rowed a fast stroke but soon settled down to steady work. At Sumae's Point the school eight had pulled up even...
