DESPERATE Squirt.

DESGERAIE Squirt.
Columbia's victory, coming as the re-
suit of desperate and sustained
squirt in the final half mile, prevented
Cornell in all probability from sweep

SO completely exhausted in trying to

PENNSYLVANIA A SURPRISE.
The real surprise of the regatta, how
ever was the remarkable showing of
Pennsylvania. Cornell and Columbia
were favorites among the veteran oars
men and in the wagering and while the
Quaker eight was named to row a good
race the possibility of the Red and Blue
winning was dismissed without discus
