. Ten Eyck Has Little 10 Say.
. linn Ten Eyck has little to say about
= his syracuse crew, which usually Is the
, dark horse Of the regatta This year
there has been little TO induce the Syra =
cuse followers to believe that they are IN
the vctors class. The nope OF inc
Oranp. is in its four Dared combination,
1 Coach Ellis Ward thinks that his Penn
$ varsity can beat Washington and pos
I sibly Syracuse but he does not nope Tor
them TO win The Quakers feel more con-
fdent of their freshman eight ana var
!, sity four.
: The Cornell rooters are beginning to
e talk about a sweep. but they have not
e raised their voices above whisper as
vel, They rule faVorite in all three races
, hut il is conceded that the Pennsylvania
freshman eight Is of threatening calibre
as also the Pennsylvania and Syracuse
l fours The Columbia freshmen are con
;, sder-d too light to figure, but the Blue
and White four is better liked,
owing to the sickness of John F. Eus
tao. of Wesleyan. who has refereed th'
intercollegiate races for manN years
I Hugh Cabot, president of the American
p Rowing Association, will act in that pos
Il ton.
- The lobbies Of the Nelson and Morgan
houses began to fill MP early here thi'
evening and the betting on III. races
took definite shape. Cornell money Wa,
= much in evidence. and II was noticeable
= | that tn. hackers Of the other crews wer,
h not very free in opening their purse
n strings One of the best propositions SO
. | durable was even money on Cornell
against, the field for two races out of th'
l. three Hardly had this been offered bv
Il cornell man before a Columbia follower
= took Sl00 of IL.
Il There has been no shortening OF th
o odds demanded by the Comedians q
: to l that they sweep, and the 1thacan
do not seem any too anxious To bet oil
cleaning up the river m all three events
l. They are ready to take on any bets a
!. even money against the held in the var
sity eight event. and most Of the mone'
q that passed last night between them an'
k the supporters of the other crews wa
on these terms.
Columbia has been seeking money Il
place that II will beat any particular egh
other than Cornell. hut odds are de
manded. and the New Workers are not We
y anxious to Concede them.
'e One Of the most ridiculous bets of tn
