Tho season will open with race
between the universities of California
and Washington on the Oakland
Estuary on April and while this con-
test Ia far outside the domain of cast
ern collegiate rowing. the result will
be watched with interest. 1t is general
ly understood that the winning varsity
eight will journey east to compete and
the advent of Pacific coast crews in
eastern waters always adds to touch of
tho picturesque, giving intersectioual
flavor and snap to the Hudson river
regatta.
In the past Washington. California
and Stanford have met annually at
Oakland in race for the Pacific coast
championship. This year Stanford
dropped crew work on account of tho
heavy expense. Rowing is not among
the recognized sports at the other
western calleges.
Both the Washington and California
shells this year will have about half
their seats filled by veterans. Wash
ington reports the return to school of
Charles LogE. No. Z: Clarence Mag
nusson. bow: Russell Nagler cox
swain and Louis NoderIee. No. ? At
California. four men, including Cap
tain John Rogers will be availa BILE. it
is thought.
In tho middle west Wisconsin has
resumed rowing after a eix-year lapse
in inter-'varsity sport and should the
material warrant may enter AN eight
at Poughkeepsie. 1t is not unlikely that
tho winner of the Pacific coast cham
pionship race will stop off at Madison,
enroutc east, for a short distance race
against WISCONSIN. Should California
be the far coast representative dual
race with Princeton, previous to the
Hudson regatta, is also tentatively
scheduled.
Both Cornell university and the In
tercolleriato Rowing association have
extended invitations to the winner OF
the oxford Cambridge regatta to us
held on the Thames. England. on
March 30 for either eight to cross the
| Atlantic and row here. \ race be-
| tween Cornell and one of the English
eichts would be an extremely inter-
/ estinC international contest, staged at
Ithaca. Could the winner of the Eng
lish varsity regatta be persuaded to
compete at PouChkeepsie the Hudson
river races would take on Worldwide
Importance.
Cornell. Pennsylvania. Syracuse and
Columbia are certain to compete ~
rouEhkeepsio for the intercollegiate
championships over the three milo
course. \ Pacific coast college crew
and Wisconsin are being tentatively
counted upon as additional entries.
There is also chance that the Navy
sity. which is likely to become q cer-
tainty should one of the English crews
decide to row on the Hudson.
An intercollegiate regatta with such
n far flung entry list would be a fittinx
climax to the coming season with its
schedule OF more than q dozen dual
and triangular regattas ending with
tho Harvard Yale classic at New Lon
don late i'll June. The list of events as
