boat race Of the three that will be held to-
morrow over the intercollegiate regatta

i generally regarded A. likely 10 win, At
| least by those who formulate betting odds,
| There are private opinions that diner from
these. but not a great deal Of wagering 70
back up these views. Columbia h a good
second choice, with Pennsylvania and
Syracuse about horse and horse for the
third position. Wisconsin u the outsider.
There h not N much doubt about the
two other races apparently. for the majority
Of folks appear to conCede that Cornell wtil
win the four cared and freshman races.
The Cornell crews in these races are very
stylish. Columbia's hopes Of victory IN
the race ior the varsity Fights are several
For one thing. II there Is rough water ColaIn-

Cornell Although Il was In rough. water
on the Charles that the lthaoans defeated
Harvard, tho Columbia folks say that they
are vastly more formidable thap Harvard
and the same sort of rowing won't do 70
beat them.
The New WORKERS have shown trtter blade
work IN rough water than Cornell has here.
Then again there are no breaks In body
work In tho Columbia she'll ne there are In
the Cornell eight. and Columbia expects
that form will count ~ a saving factor IN
a hruising race They expect 10 SEQ the
breaks get worse when Cornell tires.
Furthermore columbia folks believe that
Ilapp j. a far better stroke for the needs
Of their crew than Murphy was last year,

a man AZ was NJ Weed. who strOked the
victorious Ithaca eight last year.
The disadvantage from which Columbia
suffers b. lack Of weight The crew aver
AGES about Ise pounds now and may be q
trlne heavier by the time Of the race. That
