Columbia Grew Wins Senior
Event; Philadelphia and
Washington Shells Lead

Columbia University's junior varsity
crew won the race for senior eight
cared shells yesterday in what was sup
posed to be the feature event of the
annual Memorial Day regatta of the
New York Rowing Association on the
Harlem River. The contest was a
rather tame affair, however, because the
only other entry in the event outside OF
the freshmen crew from the Morning
side Heights institution was the Viking
Rowing Club, local combination,
which was outclassed by the collegians
The winners CT this race were not very
prepossessing in workmanship and the
freshes gave them a good rub for the
first prize.
The tirst-year lads were slight lot
but they seemed to know bit more
about rowing than their huskier rivals
They held the lead for the first half
mile by margin of couple of feet,
but they ran into stretch of rough
water. and, with strong headwind
against them, they did not have the
stamina to land the final punch and
were beaten by a half length. The
Vikings were seven or eight lengths in
the rear.
Oarsmen who make the Harlem
their rowing stream, did not fare very
we'll against the visiting crews. The
local men won only one race, in which
there were visiting entries, and this
was on fluke. The Malta Boat Club
of Philadelphia, started in four events
and won three of them, the only de-
feat coming in the senior four-oared
barge race, when George N. Ceuting
the No. broke an oar about 100
yards from the start and the Wood
cllffe Boat Club had walkover.
The senior single scull race, always
one of the features. ended in fiasco
l.. Zoha, of the Bohemian Boat Club,
and H. Heller, of the Atlantas, set out
at fast clip and were rowing a nip
and-tuck tussle down tho mile stretch
alongside the Speedway with Tom
Rooney, the crack New York A. c.,
oarsman, who had previously won the
senior quarter-mile dash. trailing
Heller, who had the middle course.
bore in on Zoha and forced him UP on
ths rocks near the finish Zoha was
leading by slight margin at the time.
His she'll capsized and Heller crossed
the finish line an easy winner. The
referee had repeatedly warned him to
keep to his course. Rooney refused to
accept the prize in the event Of Hell
ler's disqualification and at his
suggestion it was decided to let Heller
and Zoha row the race over again at
their convenience.
The New Rochelle High School eight
accounted for the interscholastic race.
defeating the Central High School of
Philadelphia by three lengths. The
stroke of the Philadelphia crew broke
his slide at the start, and that practi-
cally put the Quaker lads out of the
running.
There was one other accident, when
John Herber, of the Metro. Titan Row.
ing Club, caught crab at the start of
the Junior singles and fell out of his
boat.
The Potomac Rowing Club. of Wash
ington, had two entries and won two
races, the Junior double sculls and the
association singles. Malta took the
junior singles, auadruple sculls and
Junior eight-oared shell races. The
Washington and Philadelphia oarsmen
vert Obliged to row in borrowed boats
because of losing their equipment in
transit here.
