New OIk, June SU'-IaH the Washington Huskies smear another far western blot on the elite east s cscutchcon this year?
 Can the oarsmen from the Pacific make 1t three straight triumphs by again winning the annual intercoI- lcglate regatta on the Hudson. June g?
 Those arc couple of rather mo. mentous questions going the rounds as the time of the great rowing classic draws near.
 Personally, l believe Washington can turn the feat again. For Rusty Callow has pretty nifty looking crew this season, It ap- pears to be the pick of the field.
 A year ago the Huskies romped across the finish line with a bit to spare, Wisconsin came in second. The Badgers startled the rowing fraternity by their unexpected ability,
 Two years back Washington like. wise showed the way with the Navy shell landing rurner-up.
 The Washington crews of i923-24 were stellar outfits. They were vir- tually machines, coached to perfec- ton.
 Again Boast Great Crew
 This season Callow again boasts a great aggregation. He had six vet erans 10 start with. a splendid nu- cleus, indeed.
 Not long ago Washington showed it had the class by defeating Cali fornla by 19 lengths in the Pacific Coast carnival at Oakland Estuary, That's convincing enough per tormance in any game.
 What competition will the Huskies be up against this season? That's a question that have been asked.
 Well, for one thing. Wisconsin isn't likely 10 cause the far western CTS the trouble it did last year. For old Doe" Tail has rather green and Inexperienced crew this time out
 l. And While f may turn loose with another surprise, its chances to be Up near the front are anything but rosy The Badgers don't even stack up as a threat, though Vail may fool the critics just as he did in 1924. IL doesn't seem probable, however.
 Syracuse, Columbia and Cornell cannot be rated very highly, either. Not on carly season performances, at least, The Ithacans finished third a year ago. They'll do well to get that far this time.
 That leaves just a pair-Penn and the Navy-to fight it out with Washington for the championship. That's the way have got them doped out, at any rate. Penn and the Navy are strong, the latter especially. At Annapolis they call this years crew the great est the midshipmen have lad in seasons, And they are &nking upon 1t to give the Huskies a bitter | battle if not a beating. Haven't Been Beaten Yet
 The Navy oarsmen have alrca dy ripped M. l. T., Princeton. Harvard | Syracuse and even Penn. The, haven't lost race this season.
 Penn has beaten M. I. T., Cornell Columbia and Princeton. It finished second to Yale once and second tc Harvard another timc. And los, 70 inc Navy iR the Stewards Cur race on the Schuylkill.
 Hut Penn has Jim Rice, affCc.ion. dieIy called the wondcr-coach.' And for that reason must be con. ce3"d a chance. Hes made q for. midabIe looking outfit out of hi. years material
 In word, it appears like Wash i1glon as the shell to beat with +b, Navy and Penn 10 fierce the issue ne Navy has been set up as in, nope ot he east, a slight fayori,. over the Red and Blue.
