...playing of Crickard on Saturday has created a problem in the backfield, but quite a pleasant one. With the veterans, Devens and Mays back it would not be unlikely that Harvard's lateral pass twins of last year would be split up and paired off with Crickard and Schereschewsky, giving Coach Horween two sets of Team A halfbacks. In this event it would probably be Devens and Crickard in one pair and Mays and Schereschewsky in the other. Then there still would be Batchelder and Record or Forbes for a third combination...

...Shamrock V timed the start better, had his boat over the line in the windward berth ten seconds ahead of Enterprise which had come up too soon and lost way delaying. They had raced a couple of miles on the windward leg before Skipper Vanderbilt caught up. Thrice they split tacks. Then Enterprise in the weather berth slid into her first lead. Her mechanical devices for sail-control again made her quicker coming about. Still, it was a good race, the closest yet, and on the Erin Sir Thomas Lipton was enjoying it. He was standing on the bridge, looking...
