"GRADS" BEAT 'VARSI1f.
The Breaking of an Oar RESPONSE
bIe for the Victory.

Eight Columbia graduates proved yesterday
that they had not forgotten what they learned
about rowing while In college, by defeating the
Columbia varsity crew by over length. An
accident that happened TO the varsity crew had
something TO do with its defeat. but notwith-
standing this the crew OF old grads showed
splendid FORM and put up great race for a
crew that was not IN training and whose MEM
bsrs had not rowed together more than half a
dozen times.
The race took place at Columbia's spring re-
gatta, which was held yesterday the Hudson
River with the finish opposite the Columbia
boathouse.
The graduate crew was made up OF the stars
of the crews from 1901 to 1905. The start took
place one mile below the Columbia boathouse,
and the crews rowed with the tide in their
favor
When the gun was fred both crews caught
the water together and hit up a lively stroke
The varsity had gone only few lengths when
Ferris. VINO was rowing at No. D. broke ms
oar, and the blade went floating up the river.
with only seven men TO row, the varsity made
a desperate effort to hold the pace set by the
graduates, but It was not equal to the task.
When the line was reached there were seVere4
feet Of open water between the two boats
The graduate crew was boated as follows;

Guiding the preliminary heats and the finals
Nearly all of the finishes were close, and though
no times were taken ohlcially. several Of the
crews went over the course at fair speed. There
were q few accidents that marred the sport Of
the afternoon In the open race for fours In
which the first and second varsity fours were
entered, the second varsity collided with pair
oar. The two boats were nearing the dnish with
the first varsity leading by a length, when

his boat in the way. After the accident the
first varsity composed Of Norris. bow; Ken
dali, No. 2; Tonelle, No. 3, and Taylor, stroke,
won easily.
The Harvard graduate crew that was ex-
pected did not arrive. and consequently the
interuniversity race could not be held. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon proved to have the strongest fra
ternity four, and in hot final heat defeated
Alpha Delta Phi. In the prelimfnaries Sigma
Alpha defeated Delta Psi and Phi Gamma Delta
and Alpha Delta Phi defeated Sigma Chi and
Delta Kappa Epsilon.

in a shell with coXswain, while the others
were In four-oared gigs. Phi Gamma Delta gave
the other crews two lengths handicap. Near the
finish the scratch crew was fast pushing to the
front, when she found herself running into the
