Something happened at the mile mark
that could not quite be explained. Cornell
lowered the stroke and Immediately sped
away. At 80 to the minute Cornell pulled
out and for the first time took the cad.

way for nea rly a mile with the Corneihans.
The long hoo ra his OF the Qua ker rooters
went up ~shriekingly to hea ven while they
did their best in the roofing, line to make
Pennsylvania win. Cornell began to slip
away and away again and when the two
mile mark vas rea ched had an open length.
There was no race for the winning position
from that place onward. The Ithacans
& a long lightly. Syracuse had crossed
over the stream and was making Tor the
side of Cornell In order to race the Ithacans
down.
Pennsylvania was three-quarters OF a
length In front Of the Ten Eyok contingent.
It was q remarkable thing how the Syracuse
men swung back and forth. They rowed
was what killed them.
At the Pennsylvania boathouse, half a
mile above the bridge, Syracuse made q
leap. Cornell was still holding the length
lead. Syracuse ran up and passed Penn-
sylvania and was a half length to the fore
at that point. Wisconsin was about five
lengths In the rear, with Columbia two
lengths and a half still further behind
Georgetown was nowhere, and still dropping.
Pennsylvania seemed to fail badly be-
fore the bridge was reached and 1t was no
gay sight from the Quaker float to see
the Syracuse men row away until there
was a length difference between the yellowS
wasted coxswain and the red and blue
striped n
It was not until the boats were of the
Cornell float, a little more than half a mile
from home, that Syracuse began to jack
knife. The Pennsylvania ooxswain be.
gan to call for tens and the Quakere sicked
II home and kept on picking up. Syracuse
had two convulsive spurts that did only the
minor service OF delaying the final de-
feat. Less than one hundred yards from
home Syracuse was less than half a length
to the good. Pennsylvania spurts caught
the bold boys from the north and took
them from their high estate. When the
red ball rose and fell the second time, it
was for Pennsylvania and not for SYRIA
ouse. The first time 1t dropped Cornell
was crossing the line.
