POUGHKEEPSIE SCENE OF
 MANY CURIOUS INCIDENTS

Many odd, curious and thrilling in cidents have marked the annual in tercollegfate regatta held the latter part#of each June on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. Perhaps the closest race ever rowed was in the regatta seven years ago between the four cared crews of Syracuse and Cornell. A majority of the spectators thought the Ithaca Oarsmen were the victors, and minute after the finish flag was run up signifying that such was the case. Perhaps ten minutes later after an argument among the judges, the Cornell flag was lowered and a signal run up awarding the victory to Syracuse. The supporters of that in stitution were still cheering when down went the Syracuse signal and up went that of Cornell. About two hours after the finish of the race Sy- racuse was again and finally declared the winner, the judges solemnly stat ing that the Syracuse shell finished one inch ahead of the Cornell boat 2 In the 1906 regatta at Poughkeepsie the Cornell four cared crew was so super for to Khe others that the oarsmen had reath~enough to sing at the top of their voices, at the same time spalsh- ing their oars and indulging in other horse play of a character to make their rivals feel cheap. Another fla nous Poughkeepsie story has to do with the ''shortcake crew. The Cor nell varsity oarsmen were so conf- dent that, a few days before the race, they had strawberry shortcal1e din- ner.'' This was, of course, strictly against the rules, and the entire crew was sent packing, while the coach got together a new crew and, in the short time at his disposal, whipped them into winning shape.
 It was on the Poughkeepsie course, too, about score of years, ago, that the tshipwreck regatta" was held. A mile from the finish the Pennsylvania shell was swamped and sank leaving the crew struggling in the water, and little later the Cornell boat broke in two pieces, and the Ithacans also had to be ffshed out of the drink. Columbia won the race by persistent bailing with a foot pump. The Uni versity of Wisconsin crews have had more than their share of bad luck on the Hudson. On one occasion the swell from a passing boat put the Wisconsin freshman crew out of the running, after they had the race all but won, and ron another occasion a floating berry crate destroyed a Wis cOnsln crews chance of victory.
