The Pennsylvania varsity eight u,-,

Of record, while the Columbia 'ys,,ss-
catching streak Of fast water 49,,
the east shore, shot up from the eri,s
line Of the four-mile course N c.
Elbow IN the best trial the Blus 80
White has had.
Nickails and Rice were imrs,,
pleased when they returned 70 49,.
lighthouses, and the stock Of 49,
crews went up with a jump.
Rough water marred the mor,,,,
work Of the crews, and although n.
sky was threatening late in the at,s,'
noon and the river was sin slo,,.
Nickalls ordered his Pennsyys,i,
crews out and set all three downstrss-
Cornell, meanwhile had started on, 10
and was three-quarters Of mile fro-
the boathouse when the storm bro.s
. The Quakers were almost directly No.
der the bridge while Cornell was ~,
miles further downstream. Both tu,,,S
broadslde 70 the storm and weatbs,si
the high sea and the deluge wh,s
poured down.
Luckily neither shipped much wat,,
and when the storm began to sub,iS.
they went on about their businss,
/ Cornell continuing down the river !,
Milton, while Pennsylvania turned !,
| Blue Point at the regular finish line q,
/ the trial at top speed.
Nlckalls gave the Official time OF IA.
'varsity's trial at 9:l5, while the lin.
! Of the junior varsity was g:l9. m,
freshmen stopped after rowing a mil.
/ and q half.
The Columbia crew waited until IA,
/ storm had subsidized before putin,
! forth, and then Rice brought his var
/ sity and junior Fights all the way !,
/ Blue Point before the test began. Ma
time was announced.
A mlsinterpretation Of the rules
governing the junior varsity race hu
cost Cornell two good men. Charlu
L. Courtney learned for the first tin.
to-day that any man who is eligib.
for the varsity eight is also eligiba
for the junior crew.
Courtney thought that men who lad
won their letter in the four-mile n,s
were barred from the junior VARSITY,
and when he dropped DIME Films al
. Russ Welles, both of whom rowet n
/. the varsity race last year, from u,
first boat before coming to poughk.sp.
sic, he also dropped them from tie
squad, although he wanted to use then
in the junior shell.
When Courtney saw that Pennyl.
vania planned to row Marcy at s,rcks
in the junior varsity despite the fac:
that he had stroked the varsity eigt.
/ last spring he began 70 make inquiries,
On appeal to the Irtercolegisis
/ Rowing Association he was Informed
| that there was no bar against rowing
varsity men Of the year before in ths
junior she'll. With Films and Wsna
in the Cornell junior boat it probably
would be so per cent stronger tkSi
it is.
/ The Cornell crews put IN neary
twenty miles all told to-day. They had
eight miles in rough water in as
morning and another eleven miles Is
the afternoon, when they drove
through the storm. Courtney has Dc.
cded that Lund will row at No. u
the varsity she'll in place Of 0thEl
who has two badly infected fingers
The Leland Stanford eight hsd .
| twelve-mile row after the storm. Hgs
man, the bow man, was left ashore
and Bloeser went from No. to Dor,
while Rogers, a substitute, took bee
ser's old seat.
The shift seemed to help the cr.5i
/ lot, because Hulsman had no. oeti
swinging as far back as the Others, a,t
the RHYTHM of the she'll was thsreef
DESTROYED
