July 01, 1989|Associated Press

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England — Harvard's lightweight eight, which shattered the Thames Cup record in the Henley Royal Regatta Thursday, followed by losing to Williams (Mass.) College Friday.

Williams, which took an early half-length lead, held on through the middle of the race, when Harvard closed within three feet, then eventually eased away to win the race by three-quarters of a length.

Williams' time was 7:03, 37 seconds slower than Harvard's record time the day before.
