Three Crews First In Great Annual
Regatta.
WISCONSIN'S FINE ROWING
POuRhkeepsie Course ThrOnged With
MuItitudes of SpectntOrs-NO Rec
Orda Broken Pennsylvania
Makes Il Poor showing.

POughkeepsie, y. y, June 23.-COr-
nell won all three ui the events in the
Intercollegiate AMATEUR association re-
| gatta. The four Dared race was bit
of easy work for hek but in both the
freshman and varsity Fights she was
SO closely pressed thht she really had
to win them in the list half mile by Il
| display Of reserve forge which none OF
the other crews could bring to bear.
The finishes in tie various events
were as follows:
| Varsity eight Cornell, first; N'iScon-
sin, second; Columbia, third Varsity
tours Cornell, first; Pennsylvania. see
ond; Columbia, third. Freshman eightH
Cornell, first; Wisconsin. second: Co
lumbia, third.
| COrneIps Greatest Triumph.
Cornell won the greatest triumph o.
her history in boating. The lthacans
| literally swept the Hudson.
| In only one of the three races, that
for varsity tours, aid the ithacans dare
at any time to let down on their speed.
| The Wisconsin boys won the second
honors OF the day, and TO them belongs
| great credit for the splendid fights
which they made in the varsity and
| freshman races, in both of which
| events they finished Il strong second
to the Ithacans. In all three races Co
lumbia finished third. In the four
Dared Pennsylvania was second, but in
the varsity race the Quakers finished
in fourth place, and in the freshman
race they We're fifth. The University
of Syracuse beat the Quakers out for
fourth place in the freshman event
and in the varsity Syracuse fought
Georgetown out in tn, last few lengths
beating the boys f. IN Washington by
less than yard jnotle finish line.
In none of the Fill | were the records
touched, but in -. three events the
time was not 4 "'bove the fastest
that have been ,Algn on this course.
The races vationlll rowed under
splendid condition~~ The crews had a
fair wind with them and a ripping
tile to help them ON, Courtney says
that his varsity eight had power
enough to have lowc.ed the record of
Ism. 81 -5s., made by Cornell year
ago, if his crew had only been harder
pressed.
Ithacnns' Speedy Trial.
The Ithacans now make public the
fact that week ago they came within
four seconds of the record and that
they are sure they would have done
even better if they had to fight a lit
tie harder on the last mile. They ad
NIT that the freshman rt-e was a sur
prise. but they say they were confident
of winning the four cared event The
Badgers, plucky as usual. make no
complaint They are satisfied that the
fastest EIGHT won I'm both the varsity
and the freshman events, while Colun- |
bia is thoroughly satisfied with the
showing made by her light crews.
The New Workers did not expect to |
win the varsity race. They We're doubt
full about the freshman race, but they |
did believe they would win the four
cared race and perhaps would have
done so but for the breaking of an oar
lock.
sy's most conservative admirers did |
not expect a much better result. and |
they have no excuses to make.
The Georgetown boys We're greatly |
disappointed in the varsity race, for |
they were betting that they would beat |
Columbia
The Battle Of the Flights.
The story of the blg varsity race is |
the record of hard struggle for all |
six crews for four long miles. For |
almost mile thu long, graceful shells
were Tapped. over the second mile
Cornell began to gather her lead. but
Columbia hung to Wisconsin for sec
ond place with Il deadly grip, while
Georgetown WAS almost nose and noS..
with the New Workers, with Prnnsyl |
wanna and Syracuse only a few feet l""
hind. This WAS the order of the boats
right up I" the last half mile. where
Pennsylvania ~purtrd, ana finally Syrn
cuse jumped ahead of Georgetown only |
a few yards from the finish.
Over the last two miles of the race
Cornell widrnch the gap between her
and the BADGERS little by little. but
twice the boys from wisconsin spurtrd
and pulled the Ithac;ns back. Column
bia hung to Wisconsin up to the three
mile flag. and even ut the beginning of
the last half mile WISCONSIN was lead
ing the New York bot 1t by only length
and a half GEORGETOWN held fourth
place in the race ND to the last half
mile, when the Quakers pulled away.
The Washington boys struggled hard.
but finally dropped back to sixth and
last place in the struggle.
