Poughkcepsie. y. r.. June ga
memorable contest In American row
ing annals Is proInisec Ia the Inter
collegiate regatta 20 be held on tho
Hudson opposite this city this
Afternoon when eighs-oared crews
rep. esensing six colleges--cornell,
Columbia, Pennsylvania. Syracuse.
Wisconsin anu Leland stanford uni
veraity-wili measure boat lsngths
with each other IN tie annual four
mile race for the varsity challenge
cup, now held by Cornell,
Preceding the big varsity race
there will be the usual two-mile race
between four cared crews represent
Ing all but Stanford and Wisconsin.
and the two-mile freshmen eight
cared race In which all but Stanford
vii be represented.
The prediction as 10 the memoir
able quality OF the regatta Is based
on the observation OF the veteran
coaches In charge OF the young oars
men and others who have followed
rowing for twenty years or more.
Never have ! seen SIX crew 80
good as the six university esghts as
semhled here" said Charles j.. Court
ney the coach Of Cornell university.
The contest between Cornell and
Columbia last year WIS truly q won
derful race but ! believe that all OF
this years crews will De more closely
punched az the finish than they were
IN 1911. In my opinion there Will
not be an inch of the four mile
varsity race that viii not be worth
seeing"
For This great regatta 100 coilogc
rowing men have trained. They are
divided into the fifteen crews repre-
scntlng the colleges named. To seo
