In a rare rowing double-header on the Housatonic, Yale defeated the Big Green of Dartmouth and the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers to win the Durand Cup in the morning, but was unable to finish ahead of the Big Red of Cornell in the afternoon races. Both regattas were marked by fast conditions and stiff tailwind. Yale won four of five races in the morning, including the varsity race by 3.9 over Dartmouth and 5.3 over Rutgers.

Against Cornell, who had raced in the morning in Boston against MIT and Columbia, Yale was unable to win the 1V and 2V events, falling to Cornell by 2 seconds in a blistering race (5:29.4 to 5:31.4). On the freshman level, Cornell’s undefeated frosh came in with the #1 ranking but were handed their first defeat of the year by the Eli freshman by a scant 0.8 seconds. Full row2k results here.
