CRETs GATHER on THE HUDSON.
All kept Wisconsin VIII He There Surely
This Week Preparing for Regatta.

The Columbia crews, alone on the Hudson
at Poughkeepsie the early part Of last week,
will have plenty OF company from now on.
Coach CouCtneyis party from Cornell was
scheduled 10 leave Ithaca yesterday and
probably will spend to-day getting things
to rights In the house at Highland. Penn
sylvan MA is supposed to be due at Pough-
keepsie on June II and Georgetown will be
there on that day or soon after. The Navy
crews also will arrive at the end Of this week.
Syracuse will be on hand on Thursday next.
Just when Wisconsin will be there IL doubt
ful.
From Syracuse comes the following: Coach
Ten Eyck believes that this years is any
hody's race. lie has seen the Wisoon-
stu crew. row and appreciates the fact that
his son Ned has turned cut an excellent boat.
The syracuse. alumni who accompanied their
crews to Madison for the race there are con-
fdent that this years Wisconsin crew will be
a contender for first place in the varsity race. 4"
Coach Murray Russell of Georgetown after
picking his crew for the %regatti on June 20

etter than fourth. The Navy he fancles

for third place, with Wisconsin and Syracuse
after them. ln To- date there have Peen no

stephens, Trainer Sam Wright and others.
will leave for poughkeepsie next Wednesday
evening. II cannot be stated that the SYRIA
cuse crews are in particularly good form fo5
this time Of year starting our as they did
various reasons the different boats have not
improved as they should and Coach Ten
EyCk is not at all satisfied with the condition
OF things. Several pieces OF hard luck have
initiated against hts success this year.
At the present time Capt. D. 4. Davis is
greatly under the weather and IL Ia doubtful
whether he will be able to row in the boat al
PoIghkeepsie. Davis has been under great
strain this, spring owinG> to sickness, in his
and other duties. Al of this with his rowing
has worn upon, him until he is no longer the

and the record on the Hudson. Coach Ten
Eyck has laid Davis OF for the present. but

The coach had chosen his freshman crew
aud il was, working In splendid shape when
Peterson, No. 3. received an appointment
TO West Point which necessitated his going
there at once. There We're a large number

few oarsnen, ard the loss OF Peterson has
been greatly felt, His position is now being
filled by Grape, who weighs only las pounds.
While he is willing and u hard worker, he
cannot fll the position OF his predecessor.
The weather this spring has been exceed
ingly bad and II is safe to say that no bunch
OF oarsmen ever left Syracuse of late years
so far back in their training; Coach Ten Eyck
expects, however, Indl WNeD lneV get TO
Poughkeepsie he will be able to whip the
men into shape for the race.
The Syracuse four will row every foot OF
the way for all there is in them. The men
are working hard together. and although
they are light they. get speed out of their
shell. II the races this year should be rowed
on rough water the chances Of the Syracuse
varsity crew viii be considerably injured
owing 10 the fact that the shell is TOO small
