Memorable Intercollegiate Contest on the Hudson This Afternoon; l20 University Trained Men in Pink of Condition; Four Mile Race for Varsity Challenge Cup Now Held by Cornell the Feature.

PoUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June 2s:- "A memorable contest in American rowing annals is promised in the h. tereoiiegiate Regatts to be held on the Hudson opposite this city tomor. TOW afternoon, when eight-oared crews representing six colleges Cor. we'll, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Syra- cuse. Wisconsin and Leland Stanford University-wi measure boat lengths with each other in the annual four. mile race for the Varsity Chaiienga Cup, now held by Cornell.
 Preceding the big varsity race . there win be the usual twomile race between fonr-oared crews represent png all but Stanford and Wisconsin. and the two-mile freshmen eight-oared race. in which ali but Stanford will be represented
 The prediction as to the memorable quality of the regatta Is based on the observation of the veteran coach. es in charge of the young oafsmen and others who have followed row. ing for twenty years or more. Never have 1 seen six crews so good as the six 6siverslty eights as- sembled here" said Charles E Court. ney. the coach Of Cornell University. The contest between Cornell and Co lumbia last year was truly wonder ful race, but l believe that all of this years crews will be more closely punched in at the finish than they were in 1911. In my opinion there will not be an inch of the four-mile varsity race that will not be worth Seeing"
 For this great regatta 120 college rowing men have been trained. They are divided into fifteen crews repre-. senting the colleges named.
