PENN NEW CREW
SHOWS SO WELL,
RIVALS WONDER
Wright Watches Quakers
Row Fast Time Trial and
Other Coaches Worry
GO FOUR MILES IN 1915

POUGHKEEPSIE n. Y. June 14.-Penn-
sylvanias varsity eight. the misfits and left
overs who have been considered a joke
along this river since arrival here, ex-
ploded a bomb yesterday, which shook
Jim Ten Eyck's confidence and sent Court
ney scurrying out in his launch to make a
last effort to shape the Cornell crews for
the fray.
For instance, the Red and Blue first
eight rowed over the four-mile course in
the remarkably good time of 10 minutes
and 15 seconds, but before performing this
feat, as but part OF the entertainment IL
defeated the junior varsity eight in the
first half Of its row by no less than half
a length In tine excellent time of minutes
and 40 seconds.
Nothing daunted or worn by this effort,
II sped on for the remaining two miles in
even faster time, doing the last half of the
course in minutes and 35 seconds; and
what is most creditable it had the punch
at the end. in the shape Of a squirt at 81
beats to the minute
While the varsity crew was negotiating
the last half of its work the Quaker fresh
men took up the race discontinued by the
juniors. They started the last two miles
on even terms, and although this was the
best half the varsity did, the youngsters
came In some two lengths TO the good, in
:ime which was a fraction under Q min
utes and 80 seconds.
Now the Quaker varsity comes suddenly
into prominence as q strong opponent for
any of them, lacking experience, but pos
sessing the nerve and the speed to fight
its way through as tough a four miles
as any OF them wish to row.

PAL MOORE CUTS
GALLAGHER BADLY;
BOUT IS STOPPED
Referee Intervenes in Fifth
Round, With Mickey in
Poor Shape
JAMISON EASY WINNER

Pal Moore cut loose like n fiend in the
fifth round of the final bout at Barney
Fords Model Athletic Club last night.
smothering Mickey Gallagher under
shower of punches delivered from all
angles, and at the conclusion of the
session the Smoky Hollow youngsters fea-
lures were so badly marred that the referee
refused to allow the contest to continue.
Moore had opened cuts over both of Gala
ghers eyes from which blood flowed so
freely that when not in clinches Mickey
had TO grope his way around the ring
like blind man.
Up until the fifth round honofs had been
pretty evenly divided Both boxers forgot
safety first" tactics In the early sessions.
Invariably, after being separated by the
referee. they would Immediately lock shoul-
ders and begin slugging.
In the fifth period, however, Moore start
ed dancing around Gallagher He had
the latter so bedazzed that he could not
ward off the avalanche of blows that shot
across to his face. Moore hit Gallagher
with everything he had In stock. Short
right uppercuts sent Gallagher's head flying
back as If 1t were on hinges, while left
and right hooks to the jaw were delivered
so rapidly that Mickey was in panic.
