Annual Regatta Is Attracting More

POIJGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July q
The blue and white of Columbia, the
carnelian and white of Cornell the
orange of Syracuse, the cardinal OF
Wisconsin and the red and pfue OF
Pennsylvania comprise the gay color
scheme which Poughkeepsie has had
thrust upon it by the thousands OF
visitors who poured into the city TINS
morning. Thus decorated and embel-
lished. Poughkeepsie enters upon the
great day of the year, the date OF lne
annual intercollegiate regatta on Tue
Hudson Always safe and sane at otnef
times and on other days, the people o.
Poughke epsie are enjoying to the ut
most the yearly outburst of summer
madness which spreads like conta-
gion over the city and sends haif Ink
population to the river side TO WITNESS
the grilling contest of the crack oars
men of the nation.
as was to have been expected, Co.
lumbia and Cornell have the larges'
delegation of rooters and are IN con-
seouenca making the loudest claims o.
victory. Syracuse and PennsylVanis
also have many followers, ana VIVA
the Wisconsin adherents lack in mum

Incidentally the race demonstrated
that Wray is a great coach. Less
than two weeks ago Wray deposed
Sargent, a man considered a great
stroke, and put in his place Roger
| Cutler, whose physical proportions
| caused many great fears about the
wisdom of the change. 1t was this
change, however that saved the race for
| Harvard Sargent rowing in the form
| in which he had been pacing the
Crimson eight could not have won for
Harvard yesterday.
/ The race was rowed up stream with
| the tide In the Harvard crew sat
Eliot Bacon, son of eX-Secretary Ba-
con, whose two brothers had preceded
| him as Harvard oarsmen, as had their
| father Former Secretary Bacon, lean
| ing against the rail of the referees
launch, watched the race. On the
Mirage was Postmaster General
Hitchcock. while Secretary Meyer saw
the contest from the u. S. S. Dol
phin.
Crews Get Alvey in Fine Form.
| 1t was just 9 minutes past 6 o'clock
when the crack Of Referee Markham's
pistol started the crews in the race.
Both crews got away in fine form.
| Over the first ha7f mile the struggle
was practically even up to within
few lengths of the flag, when Har-
ward began to push the nos~ of her
| shell to the front.
| Just beyond the two mile flas Yale
made her fist determined effort to
cut down Harvard's lead. Wallis, the
Ellis stroke, raised his gait to "a
strokes to the minute and for a few
seconds it looked as though he would
| be able to over take the Cambridge
boat But Roger Cutler also hao
something in reserve and also raised
| his stroke two points.
Harvard passed the 2 IL mile flag
still leading Yale by three seconds
.lYale was compelled to drop her stroAe
back to 80 but Harvard was strong
enough to keep hers at SO.
This was the crucial point in TIE
race. 1t was. on this sixth half mile
that the Crimson first really got away
from Yale.
The Harvard crew tonight elected
Jesse Edwin Wade 1910, Of Denver,
captain for next year.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-07-02

at least 10000 people witnessed the
race from trains, and every other kind
of vehicle and from the yacht flo
tilla.
Race Bitterly Fought.
Although Harvard won by hand
some margin, the race was bitterly
contested UP to the last half mile
All the way up the river the two
Fights rowed with almost equal pre-
cision. Rowing all the way two
strokes and sometimes three strokes
to the minute more than Yale, the
Crimson eight crept away from the
Blue little by little. For two and b
half miles Yale kept within a boats
length of her rival. Then Harvard put
on her power and increased her lead
first to three lengths. then to four
engts and finally to six lengths.
Yale started with her old time de-
termination but it was in vain.
The official record was:
Harvard-Half mile 2:26; mile $40;
two miles 1O:45; three miles 1910;
four miles %: so.
Yale-Half mic 1927; mile SIP;
two miles 10:4S; three miles 1920;
four mics 22:10.
Winning distance, six lengths.
The stroking of the crews by miles
follows:
Harvard-Start 80; one mile "a;
two miles "a; three miles 80; finish
IS.
Ya'e-Start So; mile 81; two miles
So; three miles "a finish So.
Weight Gives Advantage.
The explanation of Yaie's defeat is
not difficult Harvard with a crew
which averaged almost six pounds
to the man heavier than Yale, was
able to row right through the race at
gait witch averaged two strokes to
the minute faster than Yale's and
still get out of this stroke her maxi
mum Of speed.

ALGONQUIN CLUB TO
ROW FOR SEATTLE
Under Coaching of Trainer Conibear,
Exposition City's Four Hopes
to Pull Down First Honors
With Ease.

SEATTLE, July 2.-Under the
coaching of Trainer Conibear of the
University of Washington crews, the
Algonquin club will represent Seattle
kon- Pacific exposition regatta on July
10 and II, are rapidly rounding into
form.
The Algonquin club four will be
composed of some of the best men whit
ton eight this year. A number of Uni
versity oarsmen are in Seattle this
by their former coach to enter the
races
on Union Bay of Lake Washington di-
rectly in front Of the exposition
Vancouver, Victoria and Nelson will
represent British Columbia and the
San Diego and Portland.
The Seattle crews are working out
every afternoon on Lake Washington.
AS the men have roWed together all
season with the university, there is
little to do to put them in racing form
Two tours are being trained by Coach
Conibear and it is also planned TO
have an exhibition eight-oared crew
to show the exposition visitors this
form of racing.
The races will be held over a course
which finishes directly in front of the
exposition water bleachers. These
bleachers furnish ample seating ca
pacity for a large crowd of spectators.

tation to the cars at Ravalli for ship
ment to Canada, there was stampede
as a result of which one horse was
gored to death by an Infatuated bull
and his rider, whose name could not
be learned, was seriously injured.
The animals rebelled when an at
tempt was made to drive them through
the loading chute, and one buffalo
charged the horse of rider Catching
the animal upon his horns, he tore
the horse almost to pieces and serious
ly lacerated the rider. Medical AID
mas been sent from Ravalli to Roman
to the injured man.

Rowing sharps are touting Cornell as
the probable victor in the two minor
races, but the varsity Fights, the big
race of the day, still appears to be
anybody's contest.
Columbia Confident.
Coach Rice of Columbia is wearing
a confident smile this morning and ex-
poets his Morningside bunch to give a
good account of themselves. Cornell
shows up we'll and there are some who
believe that the Ithaca crew will sweep
the board and carry off all three events.
Wisconsin has a wonderfully fast
crew this year and the Badgers are
hopeful of breaking the "hoodoo" which
has seemed to follow their crews for
some years This year it looks as if
the junior Ten Eyck would have a fast
crew to represent the west against the
pick of the eastern oarsmen.
Though lighter than usual, the
Badgers are reported as being fast.
Coming from the west, Wisconsin is
something of dark horse. But for
NE unfortunate crab at the bridge
when leading last year the westerners
might have carried off the honors in
the big race of 1873.
Pennsy Once Victor.
Pennsylvania comes to Pough-
keepsie this year with the credit of
victory over Yale early in the spring,
and Syracuse with a victory over An
apolis. Both crews are said to be up
tn the standard of last year, and
Pennsylvania is reported as being, II
ANYTHING, better than the varsity eight
which represented the Red and Blue
last year.
PENNSYLVANIA drew the inside berth
in the varsity race, which gives the
Red and Blue crew a slight advant-
age Columbia has the outside course
in the same event, but was more for
tunate in the other two races. The
Morningsiders take the center In the
Freshmen race and will be the second
crew from the shore in the four-oarec
contest

wisdom of the move. White was be-
