CORNELL WINS ALL
 EVENTS OF REGATTA

Poughkeepsie. June 2s.-cornen universi- ty this afternoon upheld it's reputation for oarsmanship by winning all three races rowed over the Poughkeepsie course on the Hudson.
 The Cornell crews did not always win easily, but pitted against some of the best amateur oarsmen of the United States. Cornell showed 1t had lost none of that skill which in recent years has made it the leader in the annual regattas on the Hudson.
 The scene along the banks of the river was a bright and picturesque one Fine weather had brought a host of visitors Every vantage point was taken by people displaying the colors of the various crews
 Smooth Course
 In the great event of the day, the uni versity eight pared race-the shells got away amid dead silence The river was as smooth as glass. For a few seconds the noses of the shells were equal. Soon. however Leland Stanford began to fall back and it was remarked by many of the spectators that the snappy finish of their stroke seemed to stop the boat They were soon virtually out of the race
 By the time the mile post was reached Cornell had gained third of length lead from Columbia, her nearest rival. At the two mile post Wisconsin, which had been rowing fourth, spurted, but Cornell in the meanwhile had put open water between itself and Columbia. Syra- cuse then attempted to come up By the time the bridge was reached Wisconsin ,Afd tt1i, nd Cornell appeared to be drawing further away every stroke. Syracuse was fourth and Pennsylvania fifth. Then Wisconsin made another splendid spurt and passed Columbia, but could get no nearer to Cornell which evidently still possessed some reserve power.
 Cornell Wins Race
 Cornell flashed first across the finish line by good three lengths in 1921 2-5. Wis consin was 3& seconds behind and led Columbia by Is S-5 seconds. Syracuse was fourth and Pennsylvania fifth, while Le- land Stanford was last.
 The trying race was felt severely by some of the Wisconsin crew, the stroke collapsing at the finish and some of the other men showing signs of distress. The time of the race was good, but did not ap- iproach Cornells record of IS minutes SS 1-6 seconds, made in 1901.
 First Event for Cornell
 In the first event of the day, the four pared university race, Columbia vs. Syra- ruse, Cornell and Pennsylvania, were the competitors Columbia got away rowing a remarkably quick stroke, which soon gave them a lead, but the terrific effort told and before the bridge was reached ] Cornell showed in front and kept It's ad- vantage to the end, finishing in 10:34 Is, ! with Columbia 6 seconds behind, Syracuse fhird and Pennsylvania last.
 Pennsylvania, Columbia, Wisconsin, Cor hell and Syracuse were the contestants in the freshmen eight. On the first start the crews were called back after the pistol was fired owing to one of the Columbia crew breaking a thwart. At the second start Pennsylvania went off with half length the better, but soon lost it, Wis consin overhauing them with Cornell close up, seemingly with reserve to spare. The other crews were close behind. The race was a gruelling one until a quarter mile from the finish, when Cornell went slightly to the front of Wisconsin, which had been leading. Cornells final spurt could not be withstood, and the Ithacans were returned the victors by something over a length in 931 2-5 minutes
