COLUMBIA OUTROWS
M. |. 7. ON HARLEM
Blue and White Varsity and
Junior Fights Triumph
Easily.

More than 5000 rowing Ndevotees lined
the Harlem River yesterday afternoon
and saw the Columbia oarsmen win the
varsity and junior varsity boat races
from Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Although these were the fea-
lures Of khe regatta. spectators also saw
the $50 pound crew from the University
OF Pennsylvania beat the crew of the
same weight from Columbia. The Coz
lumbia freshmen. in their annual inter-
class struggle with the sophomores, just
managed to beat their opponents by
quarter of a length.
The day was ideal for rowing, though
light winds blowing against the tide
made the water somewhat choppy. At
4:l6 the varsity crews of NJ. ]. r. and
Columbia lined up at Highbridge for
their mile and flve-sixteenths.
The local collegians got away to a
very poor start. For the first hundred
yards NJ. /. T. led them. The crew
from Massachusetts, was rowing at 81
and Columbia at 90. without increas-
ing its stroke the Blue and White caught
the Tech men and then settled down
to a rs.
Blue and White in Front.
At the first quarter Columbia was
half length ahead. At the halr mile
mark NJ. I. t. staged a sprint and
gained few feet Brodie raised the
stroke slightly at the half and retaIiated
with q sprint. which gave his boat n
lead OF seven-eighths OF a length. The
last quarter saw Columbia's stroke up
10 20 again and the Blue and White
steadily drew away from the fighting M
l. H. crew and crossed the finish line
three lengths in front.
The Columbia Juniors beat the NJ
T. boys without much trouble. The
piucky. but lighter Massachusetts, boat
ried TO Keep up with their heavier op-
ponents, but the Columbia shell drew
away ana at the half water showed be-
tween them. Here NJ l. T. made n
fruitless spurt, for, without raising the
stroke. the Columbia junior boat
crossed the finish line three and one
haif lengths ahead OF their rivals
The Columbia $50 pound boat suc-
cumbed 70 their opponents from Penn.
Both crews got Off to beautiful start
the best OF the day. The Penn boat set
the stroke at 20. while Columbia came
back with ss. Both crews worked
smoothly, Pennsylvania using q long,
even stroke. Both boats were nip and
tuck until No man I'm the Columbia
NVehs ibSN otis lnItt-uOdTIcTS OF
length was lost here. This the crew
from Penn kept right down the river 10
the finish and won by that margin. The
