ces will be rowed over the same course
ON the Hudson river that has been used
for many years past for the intercol-
legiate contests.
Cornell Big FaVorite.
Tomorrow's regatta promises To be
more interesting than for several years
owing to the reputation of at least
four OF the crews entered in the vars
ity race. ON past performances Cor
nell was naturally the favorite, but
that the Ithaca crew will have formid-
able rivals is conceded by all compe-
tent critics. Most judges are of the
opinion that the big race will be be-
tween Cornell and Columbia and Penn
sylvania. Columbia has not been. bea-
ten this year. ana the Pennsy lvania
crew, which gave Cornell such ter
rife struggle last year, is said to be
faster than ever.
Wisconsin and Syracuse.
Wisconsins strength is something Of
an unknown quantity, but those who
have watched the Badger crew I'm
practice work since its arrival on the
Hudson believe it will be able To- give
o good account OF itself, though its
chances of winning first honors against
Cornell and Columbia are regarded as
very slight Syracuse. which gave
such bright promise a few years ago
of developing a crew worthy of meet
ing the best that Cornell or any other
Eastern College could turn out. is
hardly considered in the running this
year. Shortage of funds and the late
decision To have crew have COM
bined to act as a serious handicap to
Coach Ten Eyck.

heavy going will be out i'm the chbnncl
