Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 1O.-- Pennsylvania's rowing troubles crowd ed Cornell out of the limelight yes- terday. After a four-mile time trial yesterday morning in which the ju- nior varsity defeated the Pennsyl- vania first varsity combination, Joe Wright announced that his junior crew would row in the four-mile race in the regatta on Saturday next, while the varsity would be the two-mile crew and would row against the Col umbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania ju- niOrs. FH.
 To top this most drastic of all changes, in which the crew, coxswain, shell and all were transposed at one fell swoop, Wright received a tele- gram from the University of Penn sylvania faculty announcing that Jer- auld the dental student rowing at No. in the heretofore juniors, would be ineligible to row in either the varsity or freshman boats and that the only place he could be used was in the two-mile junior race.
 Therefore, when the Quaker eights go on the river this morning George Wharton Pepper, jr., until now No. 6 in the varsity boat, will take Jer- auld's place in the four-mile crew, bility has occasioned so much trouble will go to No. in the two-mile var sity.
