ROWING SCHEDULE oF EASTERN COLLEGES NEARLY COMPLETED Universities Which Support Rowing, With the Exception of the Navy and Syracuse, Have Arranged Dates.

New York, March 5-TG. various eastern colleges which suppor- rowing, with the exception of the navy and Syracuse university, have completed their regatta schedules wit, the result that the oarsmen have a busy season of competition before them The Naval academy crew management has been handicapped by the unsettled interna- tional situation and no racing dates have been announced. Syracuse has also failed to make public its crew contests.
 Other varsity rowing centers how ever, have been active, and Princeton, CornelI Columbia. Pennsylvania, liar yard and Yale will al enter e-ght oar ed crews in dual, triangular and cham pionship regattas. Owing tc the short season, there will be severa. conflict ing dates, which is unfortunate, since it will cause a distribution of interest on days when two contests of inpor- tance are to be rowe6 on widely sep arated courses.
 The season opens with the annual Pennsylvania-Yal race at Philadelphia on Friday, April 6. A week later the Pacific Coast regatta will be held at Oakland, Cal. and will be followed with interest in the east T. view of the fact that the winning crew is ex- pected to row in the intercollegiate championship regatta on tn. Hudson, late in June.
 On April 1s Princeton an6 Harvard will swing into action with a race on Carnegie lake at Princeton, to be fol- lowed on May 12 by two of the more important of the early spring regattas. At Philadelphia the American Henley will be staged with the first and ser ond college crews competing ip num- Der of the SchuylkiII even4s. On the same day the triangular regatta for the Childs cup will be rowed at Princeton with crews from Columbia, Pennsylva- mia and Princeton competing for the historic trophy.
 On the following Saturday two dual regattas of great interest will be Haven. On the Charles rlver basin course Harvard and Columbia will meet in a 1 7-S mile contest, while Yale and Cornell match rowing form the site of the New Haven university. This race will be the first test of the new Housatonic river course. which has been highly praised by Coach Nicl<allS of Yale.
 Cayuga lake at Ithaca N. Y, will be the scene of the next race, for Prince ton and Cornell eights will row a two
 mile contest there during the spring day celebration, Saturday. May 26 This event will end the preliminary rowing season, as less than a month will remain in which to train for the intercollegiate regatta at POughkeepsie, on Thursday, June 21, to De followed the next day by the annual New Lon- don regatta, between Yale and Har- ward, on the Thames river.
