said he was acting on behalf of his con-
gregation and added: Posing as a Re-

Does she forget that the senatorial cleo

Mrs. O'Neill predicted that she would

responsible. She said. however. that
Senator Deneen had no knowledge of
her statement, and I cannot say that
he would approve"

she said, "but I am not going to stand
by and see Mrs. Mccormick play poll

heavy snow and few minutes later
he jumped, after first shutting off the
motor. He was taken to Moline, Ill,

Academy. and himself o noted oarsman
on the Navy crews Of 1907 and 1908,
has seconded the proposal OF Jim Ten
Eyck, jr., son OF the Syracuse coach,
that the Hudson race course here be
moved upstream more than q mile,
bringing the finish line for all races TO
point on line with the Highland and
Dutton steamer wharves, zoo YARDS
above the towering railroad bridge.
Ten Eyck submitted figures to show
that the project could be worked out
so that there would still be practically
q straightaway course, with the start q
little more than mile above Krum
Elbow.
Under the new plan, it would be
possible to run observation trains on
both banks of the river, instead OF
only on the west shore, as Is now the
case, and large stands could be erected
along the f1nish line.

Cornell Is Ozark Horse" in
Collegiate Classic on
Hudson Monday.


BY the Associated Press.
DOUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 20.
- Columbia and California are
favorites for the varsity race
4 over the four-mile course on
the Hudson River at the thirty
second annual renewal Of the Intercol-
legiate Rowing Association regatta
Monday. Nine crews will participate.
The situation this year Is like that Of
last year, with California and Columbia
favored over the field. Last year the
swept down the course stroked by the
mighty Pete Donlon, to nose out Co
clumbia and set record Of 1885 AS
for four miles, lowering the mark Of
1883 is set by a mighty Cornell crew
in 1901. So furious was the pace OF the
Golden Bears that 1t carried both Co
lumbia and Washington to the finish
line under the former record. Column
bia, stroked by Eric Lambart, trailed
the Californians by only seconds.
California went on from that triumph
to greater ones at the olympic games
In Holland, where 1t won world rowing
honors for the United States.
The Golden Bears returned 70 the
Hudson River this year with practically
the same crew as last Summer. CO.
lumbia, also with the same nucleus, Is
declared to be better crew than last
year or in 1927, when it captured var
Sity honors.

Cornell, regarded aS the dark horse"
of the varsity race. Cornell has not
put out O winning varsity crew from
