large crowd is evidence of the unusual
interest manifested in this years re
getta, fact due in large part 10 the
unexpected victory Of Syracuse las
year which overturned the Speculatlons
Of all the experts and resulted in one
OF the most interesting races ever seen
on the Hudson.
Inc regatta committe had every,
thing i'll readiness before noon today

faithfully for the contest for month:
| past. he unexpected victory Of tht
Syracuse crew last year has upset al
speculation and the betting shows T;
wide divergence Of opinion regarding
the result of the contest today. There
are many who hold that the victor.
| Of the Salt City eight last year wa;
little more than "fuke," and tina
there Is little chance of its repeating
1.-The trick this year. Others are Of tfi
opinion that Syracuse is composed o
frst-class material and will give tn,
Cornell crew hard tussle for tn
decision even though it fails of victory
with Syracuse out of the calculation
cornell remains the decided favorite al
in past years. Wisconsin is. something
of an unknown quality. Columbia i
hardly expected to finish better thar
third and Georgetown is counted OF
to come in about the same as in prev
