 In both the fOur-miIe varsity and the junior two-mile contest Coach Ten Eyck's oarsmen took command short Iy after the start and were neecr headed. They swept across the finish line in perfect form. with plenty of power apparently in reserve.
 Cornell was second in each race and neither Columbia nor Pennsylvania was serious contender at any time.
 All four crews rowed gamely, but the Syracuse combination had both the row. ing technique and the physical strength to win.
 In the varsity race Syracuse defeated Cornell by a little more than a length, with Columbia about seven lengths back of the Ithaca crew and Pennsylvania four lengths behind the New York oars men. The official times for the four miles were:
 Syracuse, 2O;15 2-5; Cornell, 2o:22 4-5; Co., lumbia, 2O:l 1-5; Pennsylvania. 20:52 4-5.

 SYRACUSE DROPS STROKE
 Before the half-mile mark was reached, Syracuse, although it dropped to 30, had gone into the lead while Pennsylvania and Columbia appeared to pa on even terms, with Cornell last by about a half length. From this point, the Salt City eight led Cornell, which had rowed into second position, by about three-quarters of a length.
 All the eights spurted nearing the fin ish line, but the Syracuse craft slipped through the water so rapidly that there were two lengths between it and Corncll, the second crew, as they passed the, judges. boat. Columbia was third, some seven lengths back of Cornell and Penn sylvania last, about four lengths separat- ing them from the New York oarsmen. All four eights finished in good physical condition, and there was not single col lapse among the 32 oarsmen.
 The junior varsity eight race was somewhat similar in character.
 At the finish, Ten Eyck's second eight had a length and a quarter lead over Cor nell, which was five lengths ahead of Columbia, while Pennsylvania was fully 15 lengths in the rear of the light blue.
