frantically for the cardinal oarsrnen to avenge them by defeating Corr nell Stanford was willing and lab ored at their oars like galley slaves under the lash but Cornell was Just as game and better versed in the pro polling of a racing shell and when the cannon boomed on the Judges boat the championship crew of the Pacific coast was just a bare eight feet short of a victory that would have upset all rowing tradluonS'ln the United States.
 Syracuse was safe in third place but lost in the wake of the leaders, Columbia and Pennsylvania were haV- ing a battle of their own for fourth place and in the final mile the New York collegians managed to out-game and out-race Pennsylvania thole-plns and all, winning from the Quakers by a length and a half, while Syracuse led the Blue and White by almost three lengths.

 l All GoaCneS FESlSed StanTOFOs l All the coaches praised the Stanford crew after the races, none better real ] izing than these professionals the l credit due the Westerners and their 1 little coach, F. L. Guerana, who three l years ago sat in the coxswain's seat of l a Stanford shell when the 1912 crew 1 finished a dismal last in the regatta of 1 that year.
 Their statements were as follows; 1 Coach Courtney of Cornell said: 'I am well satisfied with the results. 1 knew my crews were rowing in good l shape. and it was matter of stamina l and reserve power with them. l was | greatly surprised at the work of the ] Stanford crew and want to congratu- l late them most heartily. As for my own varsity crew, the boys did nobly l and Stroke Collyer is to be commended l for his excellent work. It was a great race and one that ought to have 1 pleased the spectators immensely" l Coach Ten Elyck of Syracuse: T fig l ured we would win the freshman race 1 because l knew we had an excellent 1 crew. The great surprise of the day 1 to me was the rowing by the Stanford | crew. I want to, through The Asso- 1 ciated Press, offer them publicly my | congratulations. They certainly rowed | a wonderful race and are to be com mended. Our varsity crew, although
 we did not expect to win, did excep- l tiOnally well, but the showing made by l the Stanford boys was really the fea- ture of the day.
 Stanford Coming Back. Coach Guerena of Stanford: "I am very well pleased with the showing l made by our crew. I thought all along l and the boys themselves really thought l we had a, chance. We had no time 1 trials here over the four miles, but il was a common occurrence for us to gC
 on the water and run off half miles in 1 2.15 and 2.1O. In the last mile the 1 Cornell crew had an exceptionally strong current which aided them greatly, I believe, however, that we | were beaten fairly and want to con graduate Cornell. If we can clean up
 on the coast next year. we will be back to fight it out again."
