Bisbee daily review., 1912-06-29


 No. 5-Cornell.
 No 6-Stanford.
 The hour set for the big race 5.l5--is fifteen minutes after the cub tide reaches it's maximum. The freshmen race will have a strong ebb. and the tide will be running we'll for
 varsity foar-oared race.
 The Poughkeepsie course is straight deep stretch of water begin ming three miles north of the Pough- keepsie bridge, and finishing one mile south of that structure
 The West Shore Railroad will run the usual observation train along side Of the crews. No vessels will be a. lowed to follow the oarsmen. and this rule will be enforced by revenue cutters. which will also make 1t their business to see that yachts and small boats do not crowd into the course rom the three mile mark down to the Finish line.
 Cornell and Columbia are the fav. orites, the former having slightly the preference on it's record of perform snces. In twenty-one races in which they have competed during the last three years, the Ithacans have been defeated but once. that exception be- ing the freshmen race of last year. which was won by Columbia. The splendid fight which the New York crew made against Cornell last year has made it the favorite of many this year. because the Colnmbians are confident that their crew is faster, stronger and better trained than their eight Of 1911.
 Cornell, on the other hand, has sev- en of last years veterans in the boat, but Coach Courtney says that the crew is no better than it was year ago We have a fine crew" said Mir. Courtney, and whether we win or lose, they will be q credit to the college and the coach.
 Syracuse, which made such a poor showing in 1911. has developed the best crew it has had in several years. and the coaches Of the other colleges agree that Ten Eyek's men will have to be reckoned with. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are not regarded as so formidable
 The Leland Stanford crew rave ad- ded greatly to the interest of the re gatta by coming 5000 miles without a coach or boat to meet the eastern collegea Physically, they are the equal of sny other men on the river, but they have not had the training to make them dangerous competitors of these other colleges, who have had for years the services of profes- sional coaches. Before leaving Cal. ifornia, the Stanford crew defeated the University of California and the University of Washington in a tri- angular race. They have come here under greater disadvantages than any of the others. They expected to find in New York a new Simms shell which they ordered from England, but the English strikes had delayed shipment Of their boat. Columbia, however, gave them the use of the Simms shell in which their varsity rowed last year. and the Californians say that this boat fits them better than any they have ever used at home
