Brown, Pas new first baseman, acts like

JTeLASSES THE WHOLE VARSITY FIELD

POUGHKEE n. Y, June 2S.-Cor-
neil regained her prestige in intercollegiate
rowing affairs today by winning with ut
most ease the varsity eight-oared and
freshmen eight-oar races in the intercol-
legiate regatta. Syracuse was given the
decision in the Varsity four-oar race, after
a sensational and exasperating 'mix-up"
in which even. the judges boat gave out
conflicting decisions, the victory being
given first to Cornell. although Syracuse
came in first.
The hesitation over the decision was due
to two facts; first, that some of those on
the judges boat were in doubt as to the
identity of the leading crews as they passed
the finish mark; second, that at the out
set of the race, Syracuse is declared to
have passed out of her course in front
of Columbia, and there was claim of a
disqualifying foul against her, After a
long delay the decision was reversed and
declared in favor of Syracuse.
Cornell OutcInsses the Field.
In the varsity race the feature of the
day, Cornell never pressed after the first
quarter of a mile had been covered, rowed
across the finish line dozen lengths or
more in front of the crew from Syracuse,
which surprised the aquatic world by
winning this event last year. Thoroughly
beaten, but struggling to the last limit of
endurance for the honors of third place,
Georgetown and Columbia swept by the
Judges boat almost together, Georgetown
having the slightest of advantage. Back
in the ruck came Pennsylvania, and last
of all, finished Wisconsin, whose chances
had been favorably considered by the row.
ing experts.
Cornell won the freshmen race for eight
Dared shells almost as easily, again hav-
ing Syracuse as her nearest competitor.
The order of the finish in last years
freshman race was just the reverse, Syra-
cuse having won and having been consid-
sprint.
In the four-oared varsity race Syracuse
won, with Cornell second Cornell and
Syracuse thus almost evenly dividing the
honors of the day, the former getting two
frsts and a second and the latter one first
and two seconds. Wisconsin furnished
big surprise by finishing last.
Harvard Wins First Event.
GALES FERRY, Conn, June 2S.-Harvard
