WEIRD SURPRISES.
For the first time in years there were
distinct surprises in the intercollegiate
races here to-day. Two crews OF prac-
tically unknown quantities, and whose
coaches had not predicted or had not
hopcd for them anything better than
fourth or fifth places IN their respec-
tive races, each finished second in tho
two most important races Of tho day.
The Syracuse University crew took such
close second honors In the freshman race

s,ty In the varsity race, while flnlsh-

crew MT IN tho race by Cornell Unlver-

crews in the race. oldrtimers, with the
exception Of Syracuse, IN q manner That

lead of Cornell. showed their superiority
over all the other crews In the race.

was practically conceded to BIO Pennsyl-
yanas because her four was th sno ntI,e to
and to have shown better form. but Cor
nell beat her out BY thru o OF en ns
of the great surprises Of the day, Cor
nell did not disappont her adherents.
rho Ithacans finished first. breaking the
intercollegiate record by second and n
half, while the Syracusans jumped from
last place, awarde, them by public opin-
ion, TO a good second place, losing the
race only In the last quarter mile upon q
terrific squirt by Cornell.
