HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Two of the upperclass crews collided late yesterday afternoon as they were rounding the bend in the Charles just above the Cambridge Boat Club. The bow of one of the shells was broken completely off just forward of the combings, and the other boat had a gaping hole stove in its side. Fortunately for those rowing, Head Coach Brown, and Coach Heard of the 150 pound crews were both nearby, and succeeded in getting all the oarsmen into their launches and towing the shells the short distance to the Newell boathouse before they sank.
Both of the Coxswains were coming downstream, and cutting the corner too closely. In the gathering darkness it was impossible for them to judge distances accurately; otherwise the accident might have been avoided.
University boat builder, W. F. Lutz has already started to repair the shells, and he expects to have them ready for use again within ten days.
