school activities which help to instill
truth telling, respect for authority

needs Is a more substantial cooper.

four eastern, one southern and one
far. western crews will race over a
distance of three miles for this years

Representatives of the six institu
lions witnessed the drawing in the
office of Morton G.. Bogue, chairman
of the board of steward of the inter
collegiate rowing association. Column
bias lane in the varsity race has fur
nished a course for more winners than
amy other, though it is not considered
superior to the Qthers-just a good
omen.
The courses at the Poughkeepsie re-
gatta are numbered from the west
bank of the Hudson river outward,
the course with the digit a. being
nearest to the bank. The relative val
lie of the courses depends entirely on
wind, tide and other weather condi-
tions, the first few being more desir-
able when, for instance the wind
blows from the west. In that event
the crews nearest the bank are pro-
tected by hte high palisades.
The program, announced in connec
iton with the results of the blind
draw, follows:

with 1913 points; Norfolk naval base
was second with 113; Philadelphia

ing for second third and fourth places
but will have no bearing on the win
ner.
Three events remain to be run to-
morrow and points in these will be
added to today's scoring. These are
the mile relay, half mile run and the
three mile run.
Three men won two first events to-
day. They were W. NJ. Kidd. woman
Norfolk navy base, who took the high
jump with five foot, one and one
quarter inch leap and the 12O-yard
hurdle in IS 10 seconds. Private w
F. Andrews, of the Third Corps Area
who won the 100-yard dash in 10 a.
seconds and the 220-yard dish in "a
1-5 seconds.
Captain Edward r. Roberts, also OF
the Third Corps won the discus witt
throw of ia feet 10 inches and the
shot put with 1877 feet lie took thir5
place in the javelin, hurting the spear
100 feet inches.
