Cornell won the greatest triumph OF
her history in boating. The Ithacans
literally swept the Hudson. In each
race the crews, coached by Courtney,
had to fight all the way from start to
finish for victory. In only one of the
three races did 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
freshmen races, in both of which events
they finished strong second to the
Ithacans.
In all three races Columbia finished
third. In the four-oared Pennsylvania
was second, but in the varsity race tbs
,Quakers finished in fourth place, and II
the freshman race they were fifth. Thu
University of Syracuse beat the Quak
ers for fourth place in the freshman
event and in the varsity Syracuse
fought Georgetown out in the last few
lengths, beating the boys from Wash
ington by less than yard at the finisl
line. In none of the races were tn
records touched. but in all three event.
