 tlng of the Board of Stewards to- 8 the principal college rowing races x he coming season will have been s#nally scheduled. Three dates @ been tentatively named for the Fl hkeepsie regatta and it is thought
 # the stewards will definitely de- % upon either June IT, 24 or July M the coming conference. # dal conditions and college ex- @nation dates conflict badly this M and it has proved a hard pro- @tion to date to fix upon a day 8Sch is convenient and satisfactory Ell the colleges which annually 8pete in this regatta. Especial @ is required since one and possi- N two of the Pacific Coast college #vs will be invited to race on the #son again Cornell, Columbia #acuse and Pennsylvania. Leland #lford university which sent such @emarkable eight to Poughkeepsie
 season where it finished second @Tornell has already been inform invited to return for the 1916 Els. If Stanford should be de- Fed in the three mile race at Oak Fl, Ca, on April 8, by either Wash Non or California it would be aessary to extend the invitation to < winning crew as we'll as Stanford. 1 latter eight, which, is almost l act, made a great hit at Pough- Spsie last June and the regatta @norities are desirous that the swny oarsmen from Palo Alto re- s1 to the Hudson again this year. 8he eight was defeated in a close E. in the Pacific Coast contest tt Auite likely that there would be far western eights instead of one athe Hudson, especially if a favor E. date is selected for the regatta. aside from the uncertainty of tho Ke for this event the schedule for leading dual. triangular and so- led championship races is as fol- kpril 8, Saturday; Pacific Coast In Collegiate Regatta, Oakland, Cal. 4priI 20, Thursday; Princeton vs. rvard, Princeton, N.
