FIFTEEN CREWS FROM SIX AMERICAN
COLLEGES WILL MEET SATURDAY
P0UCHKEEpSIE FOR SUPREMACY

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 25.-Fifteen
crews representing six of the IL Ameri-
can colleges which support rowing will
meet here tomorrow in the Goth Annual
Regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing
Association to decide the varsity cham
pionships of 1914. The regatta entry is a
most representative one including
Fights from eastern, middle western
and far western universities and the
contests in all three events are expected
to be fully up to the standards of recent
years when overlapping finishes have
been the rule.
Cornell as usual ranks favorite in a
majority of the three races which form
the regatta program but all the coaches
admit that the contests will be hard
fought and that the possibility of vic
tory by one of the less favored crews is
not too remote to be given careful con-
sideration. Columbia has a strong fol-
lowing as well as Syracuse, the 1918 win
ner in the four-mile contest. The Univer-
sity of Washington eight, the Pacific
coast Champions, is also considered for
midable both on this seasons form and
the showing made last year when the
westerners won third place.
Added interest is given the regatta this
year by the presence of eight-oared Sec
ond varsity or Junior crews in place of
the four-oared crews which have fig
ured in the annual races since 1899 This
innovation has been under consideration
by the Board of Stewards for several
years but it was not until last fall that
it was decided to make the change The
reason that led to the alteration in the
program was the fact that the four-oared
shells without coxswains were hard to
manage and rowed out of their course
and frequently endangered other crews,
The new system also provides four addi-
tional seats for oarsmen, who otherwise
would be forced out of the regatta after
training all season for the races.
The four eastern universities. Syracuse.
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania. are
the only ones to enter Fights in the new
class this year. Neither Wisconsin nor
Washington is represented in the junior
race In the freshman Fights Wisconsin
has entered a crew which gives five en-
tries for this event while the varsity

For several days the weather man
has predicted showers and the pre-
diction was fulfilled last night in more
ways than one. Early in the evening
there was a heavy shower in Congress
street, although but two people were
caught in it, while others looked on
from the side and enjoyed the fun.
Mrs. Carl Hervey Stevens gave a par
ty last night at her home in Congress
street. for the brides who are being
feted in honor of their coming we'd

Evelyn P. Morrison. Supper was served
at small tables at $50. Miss Clara

rooms were prettily decorated with
buttercups and daisies and the daintily

Following supper, Auction bridge was
played for two hours when the
prizes" were awarded to the two
gusts of honor, each receiving a dozen
bundles which were found to contain
articles which will be found most use
full in their new homes.
Later in the night a real shower
passed over this section and it seemed
at one time as if it would remain di-
thunder and so vivid the lightning
flashes Although it was one of the
most severe in years, no damage has
been reported in the city and the fire
company had no calls. The alarm
sounded once during the shower but
was caused by crossed wires.
