that would have done credit to a
famous Yale or Harvard crew. the
& Richmond eight swung easily into a
safe lead.
Past the, bridge they came with
& Washington and Lee faltering. But
the latter crew responded nobly to
e Coxswain Hogue, entreaties. and re-,
gained some of their lost ground. They
were unable to hold it. however. and
the Virginia Boat Club eight swept
passed the line, working easily. two
lengths to the good And with ap-
1 plause from the gathering and cheers
by the victor ana viTnquished. the
best regatta ever held ON the James
came TO an end.
Great praise is due both crews, the
showed. and the visitors for the game
race they put UP. Ii wasn't until !
TNesoay that the visitors rowed as an |
eight. At home. owing to the rivers |
condition, 1t is impossible for an eight /

the Washington and Lee boys came
here they We're forced TO combine two
four- cared sac members ana shape
them into an eight Hence under the
circumstances they did Well.
BY winning yesterdays race. the
Nirginians set permanent possession
OF the o.. II. Berry cup. offered to the
crew winning three consecutive eight
cared races on the James Two years
ago the local club secured it for the
of Washing ton. They Won it again
last year, defeating the Richmond Coll
lege crew. This years victory gives
them the cup outright.
