Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June Co.
cornell again swept the Hudson in all
three races, but Wisconsin with three
thirds made the next best showing OF
any OF the colleges because the sec
onds were scattered among the differ.
ent universities.
The varsity crew of Wisconsin did
not expect to win, but had expected to
get second. The remarkable racing OF
Cornell was expected when Courtney
gave out that his crew went over the
course in 10 minutes in practice. The
varsity would have given Cornell q
closer race had it not been for the de-
clded slump which the crews took
when they tried the new shell and had
10 row the most of the time without a
coaching launch. Considering these
hlndrances the men do not feel thew
have done so badly. Coach O'Dea had
nothing to say except,
THE toys rowed the race I taught
them, but they were simply not fast

than any Wisconsin crew was ever
worked and this hard work told on the
men at the end Of the two miles, when
several of the oarsmen were badly
tired and lacked the snap characters.

The men fought bravely to the end. but
were unable to hold Cornell and per.
mitted the speedy Georgetown crew to
gain the half length that put them in
second place. This was the surprise
of the day.
Georgetown JubiIant.
Coach Dempsey was greatly pleased
as he had good right to be. The Wis
consln men take little consolation in
the fact that he is the man who
coached the Vesper crew at Paris
Whlch made worlds record during
the fair.
Freshmen Do Well.
The freshmen rowed their race we'll
They did better than they had done in
practice since coming here, as did the
varsity. The Cornell freshmen as
well as the Cornell varsity was the
fastest ever seen on the river here.
The Wisconsin four did better than
was anticipated in the slow boat loaned
by Columbia and there was much re-
Joicing among all the oarsmen when
the western four finished ahead of the
college which furnished them their
shell.
Congratulate Wisconsin.
Last evening the Wisconsin oarsmen
were receiving congratulations from
all for their gritty rowing, but there
is inwardly a feeling of disappoint
ment in not getting a second in one OF
the races. The men cheered Coach
ODea as he came in to dinner at the
quarters and there is still the deter
mination to get first another year.
Jordan Elected Captain.
Immediately after dinner Ebert l.
Jordan of Berlin, Wis, was elected
captain for next year. He rowed oal
No. in the last three races and will
be senior next year.
