 The New London Boat Race

or Yale-Harvard Boat Race is

an annual contest between M8+

crews of Harvard University

and Yale University. First rowed

in 1852, it is America's oldest

athletic competition.

 The coloured drawing shows

an incident during the 1890

race when the Yale stroke

broke his oar and dove over-

board. Yale still won the race.
