CRAY varsity crew scored another victory over Darien in their
annual four-mile race yesterday afternoon. After one of the most
brilliantly rowed races in the history of this colorful regatta, the sons
of Gray drove the nose of their slender cedar shell across the finish
line three lengths ahead of their exhausted but still fighting Darien
opponents, amid the thundering plaudits of thousands of spectators.
Gray covered the distance in 21:53, a
figure that was 1 minute and 51 seconds BARIU  HALTS BIG LINED
