CORNELL FAVORITE
IN ALL RACES

order of light work again prevailed
among the crews. as the heat and the
proximity OF the re ga.tta are effectual-
~ barring either hard rows or time
trials. No further trips over thu
course under the watch are expected
and the practice will De almost en-
tireiy confined to racing starts and
long. easy paddles until the regatta
on Saturday.
Among the carly visitors to the
scene OF the regatta were jim Wray.
the Harvard coach. and Capta!n-elec,
{. -Nhcles. of the Crimson eight. These
two followed the work of the crews
throughout both the morning and
evening rowing in the Harvard coach
ing launch. and took long look at
Columbia. Coach Rice invited them TO
come IN close TO the crews and see
them from all angles. In the Tarpon.

yach; We're W. 4. Hartman and l.
Holiday Philb!n, OF Yale and they.
too. followed tho practice alongside
Of the Harvard launch. All OF them
seemed greatly pleased with tho ex
hibition rowing that was afforded.
Coach Wray was the guest OF Coach
Vail during the morning row OF the
Wisconsin crews
me oarsmen at all OF the camps are
now reported in good condition with a
lew exceptions. The StSnfor1 and tho
Wisconsin varsities Will have TO row
with substitutes. however as Captain
Seward. of the Palo Alto crew. has found
that Watkins. who was rowing at No. Z.
IS overtrained. owing TO a long year of
both crew and football work and in
the Wisconsin eight Cuff is laid up
with an infected hand. Glover will take
Watkins's place and Wood, who wen,
INTO the varsity last. year while
freshman substitute. again has a chance
with the veterans. taking Guns place
Moore. who is rowing at No. c in the
Columbia varsity, reports that the boil
which has been troubling him for sew
cral days is much better. and there is
no doubt that ne will be in the race
in his regular place.
The main work of all the crows a1opr
IN" Flyer was confined to racing starts.
Columbia came down the river in tho
morning, hut absolutely no real work
was done because of the heat In the
evening the rowing was heightened
nit, and several starts were tried. at
which Downing shot I'D the stroke 70
forty at each trial.
Cornell was sent over tho course n,
the afternoon. but with the exception
OF the racing starts they had an easy
time of 1t all the way. Coach Ellis
Ward has entirely abandoned the homo
OF h"ihins time trial and will not
work his crews hard from now on
Jim Ten Eycl is about the only one of
the coaches who intends to take the
men out again over the course on A
time trial.
The Stanford men are bothered more
by the heat than any of the other
crews. and this is telling in their
"oEk TO marked degree. The coast
oars->cn went up the river in tin
evening and came down for a COW
| pie of miles at hard clip. after
which Stroke Partridge seemed to be
exhausted. The oarsmen are continu-
| Ing their jerk at the finish of their
stroke.
