...other factors contributed to the Crimson's present supremacy, both upsets. Mighty Cornell, the only crew to best Harvard in the last two years, was scuttled by the Navy, and Yale, whose sprint record is usually unblemished, finished an humiliating third on the Schuylkill's muddy waters...
Sprinter Doug Pirnie was again Harvard's chief tape-breaker, winning the 220 in 22 seconds flat, his best time of the season; tieing Crusader Charlie Gillis in the century sprint with a 10.1 performance; and anchoring a victorious sprint relay which covered the 440-yards in 43.2.

Powers and Bus Curwen will be favored to sweep the 220, and Curwen will...
