in the large amount of betting done
this forenoon Cornell ruled the prime
fayoriie. The critics base their judg-
men on the fact That the ithieln crew
won the race last ye3r and that sever
al uf last years crew have been dis
placed for seemingly better men. The
Cornell crew has also made an eX-
ceHcnt showing in its practice work
here and in endurance is beieyel to
be superior TO the other n.estants.
Second place in popularity seems to
be a tie between Columbia and Wis
consin. both being considered excel
lent crews.
