Pacific Coast Oars
to be Seen in Race
EASTERNERS WILL BE GIVEN
CHANCE To SIZE SOME
FAST EVENTS.
BY HAL SHERIDAN.
{ Written for the United Press.)


NEW YORK. May 1l.--All indica :
tions are that easterners will be given
another chance to see how Pacific
coast collegians swing their oars at
the Poughkeepsie regatta in June.
Stanford University is about to take
the plunge and send its eight-oared
crew to compete on the Hudson This
means that crew which has over
come enormous handicaps and worked
its way to the top of the heap on the
western coast will make a bid for the
highest rowing honors of the country,
1t may sound like fiction, but the
champions of the Pacific coast have
to ride eight miles on a train and
then walk nearly mile to get to their
practice waters. Insofar as the loca
tion of their university is concerned
the Stanford oarsmen are real 'land-
lubbers," but transport them few
miles, make a splash like a mill pond
and they are there like ducks. The
cardinal crew simply rowed the husky
Washington university eight off its
feet in the recent races OF Oakland
when they copped the championship,
Not only did the varsity crew push
their shell over in front of the Wash
ington and California boats. but the
freshmen came through with a sim
liar performance and gave Stanford
clean sweep,
The students of Stanford have now
raised $1,000 toward the expenses in
cident to sending their crew to
Poughkeepsie. 1t is estimated the trip
will cost about s250O and the Cardi-
nal rooters are busy raising the re-
naming amount peeded by subscrip-
tion.
Frank ]. Guerano, coach of the
crew. was coxswain of the last STAR
/ ford eight which rowed in the east.
That was in 1912 and the coast rep
resentatives finished last. Guerano
naturally learned a few things as a
result of his experience on this trip
which will be of benefit when he ap-
pears on the river as instructor for a
competing crew. The coach has de-
elared that the eight of 1912 rowed
the Poughkeepsie in practice in better
time than the winners of the big race
showed. They had too much practice
, however. and went stale. 1t is Guer-
AMOS plan to give his present crew
but five to seven days work on the
Hudson to prevent slump owing tc
I climatic conditions
If present plans are carried out the
Stanford crew will return home from
the east by the northern route and
take on the Washington eight for an
other race.
