OF With Three Victories - PENN
sylvania Freshmen Win.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 4.-The in
tercollegiate boat races over the Hud-
son river course were decided yester-
day as follows:
Varsity Eight-Cornell first; time,
1885 1-5. Columbia second; time, 1888.
Wisconsin third: time, 1906 As.
Georgetown fourth: time, 1921.
The best previous record for varsity
Fights was 1874 3-5. No time was
taken for Syracuse and Pennsylvania,
who were many lengths behind.
In the varsity tours Cornell was
first; time, 1889 3-5. Pennsylvania Sec
ond; time, 1924 2-5. Columbia third;
time, 11:51 3-5. The best previous
record for this distance was 1881 is.
In the freshman race Pennsylvania
was first; time, 1920 1-5. Cornell Sec
ond; time 1923. Columbia third; time,
1886 1-5. Syracuse fourth; time, 1914.
The previous record for freshmen
Fights for this distance was 9:19 1-2.
Not only was a new record for var
sity Fights made, but it is more re-
markable that the four leading crews
in the race each broke the old record
by many seconds. The race was rowed
in water that was phenomenally ad-
vantageous, and while this may have
helped the time, still it did not seem
to assist the freshmen who rowed I'M
der almost the same conditions. The
varsity race was the most exciting of
the day, although the other two, with
much
Uncertainty Over the Winner,
caused a furry. The fact that Penn
sylvania had been picked as a sure
winner Of the foar-oared event, but
that Cornell beat her out easily,
whetted the appetite Of the thousands
upon the shore and observation train
for the other contests. The phenome-
nal feature of the races is that had
not the Cornell freshmen boat broken
in the last half-lnile, Cornell would
have three victories to her credit.
Columbia is happy for her oarsmen
have gone UP from very bad place to
second place in six-sided contest
after giving the winners a hard fight.
Georgetown, a new rival for llonors,
and to whom little attention had been
paid, got inside the time record and
hung on to the leaders with a tenacity
that surprised everybody. Pennsyl-
vania was never in the race with its
second crew and Syracuse with its
light oarsmen was outclassed.
The varsity race was one of the
fiercest struggles ever witnessed in
college aquatics, and had any one of
the crews in the lead displayed any
weakness the tailenders were ready to
take their place and make good time
at that. AS it was, although the race
was one of the most severe ever roWed,
there was not sign of distress in any
boat.

Prof. r. 3. Forbes, acting state ento-
