Perhaps one OF the gamest stands ever

Dick Richards. the bow man OF the Blue
and White juniors. There were very few
who knew that Richards was holding his

was paining from dog bite he had re-
c'fved this morning In fact his
crew mates did not know It until he re-
moved his sweater at the starting mark
and they noticed the bandagss.
The boy showed so much nerve that

made the observation train before II got
back for the next race.
| Dispute Over Fourth place.
There seemed to he some disagree
ment about fourth place. The Columbia
| freshmen surprised the followers of the
Blue and White by putting up a corking
race for the first mile and might have
finished In second place but for the fact

juicy crab within furlong of the finish.

Columbia hit a slump and fell behind by

petual clatter. she could not get nearer
than ten feet OF the Orange bow when
