Some Surprises.
For the first time in years there were
distinct surprises in the intercollegiate
races mere today Two crews Of prac-
ucally unknown quantities and whose
coaches had not predicted or had not
hoped for them anything better than
fourth or fifth places in their respective
races, each finished second in the two
most important races Of the day The Sy-
racuse university crew took such close
second hOnOrS in the freshman race that
for the last half mile IL was a serious
question whether her boys would not pull
70 victory. Georgetown university IN the
varsity race, while finishing a very bad
second 70 the phenomenal crew put in the
race by Cornell university. walked away
ofd-timers with rhe exception OF Syracuse,
in a manner that made the rowing sharps
simply throw up their hats for JOY.
Columbia's Poor Showing.
The Columbia university crews. from
which much had been promised, finished
~ the worst possible shape, although in
the betting, in the general predictions
and in the representations of her coach

out by even Wisconsin, which university

II the freshman race she was the fourth
crew. and a very poor fourth; Wisconsin,
was third, with Pennsylvania, from whom
nothing had been expected, as her crew
mad been materially changed in the last
fcv days, a close fifth.
In the varsity race Columbia finished
last, being at least six lengths behind
Syracuse the fifth crew in the race and
at least four out of her eight men col

It was. as it has now been for the past
four years, Cornell day.
Easy For Cornell.
AS in last years regatta, Cornell won
All three races, and while only one rec
ord was broken, It is the concensus OF
varsity crew been pressed, the record
would have been broken even in that race
me varsity race, as a matter of fact
was miserable WalkOVer. Cornell took
the lead before the mile point had been
reached and rOWed away from ner com
petitors in a manner so easy that at no
time was she ever pressed for the first
place The result was Nhat IN the last
mile, where, II pushed, she would have
roWed from thirty-OnS to thirty-thrCe
strokes per minute. she held a twenty
eight clip almost to the finish crossing
the line at not over thirty strokes Der
minute and fClly nine lengths ahead of all
competitors.
