TWO CREWS ARE
 FAVORED TO WIN
Columbia and California Appear
 as Outstanding in Regatta

Poughkeersie. N. T., June g P}-- Columbia and California are the favorites in g record entry list of nine crews to win the varsity race In the intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson Monday evening.
 The situation this year Is like that of last year with California and Co., iumbia favored over the field. Last year, the Golden Bears from the Pacific coast swept down tho course stroked by the mighty Pete Donlon. to nose out Columbia and set rec ord of 1885 4.5 for four miles. low ering the mark of 1S:53 1-6 set by mighty Cornell crew in 1901. So furious was the pace of the Golden Bears that 1t carried both Colum- bia and Washington to the finish line under the former record. Columbia. stroked by Eric Lambart, trailed the Californians by only three seconds.
 California went on from that triumph 10 greater ones at the Olympic games in Holland where it won world rowing honors for the United States.
 Tho Golden Bears return to the Hudson river this year with practi- cally the same crew as last summer. Columbia. also with tho tame nu- cleus, is declared to be . better crew than last year or in 1927 when it captured varsity honors. A third name enters the reckoning this year. a name famous on this Cornell, regarded as the dark horse" of the varsity race. Cornell has not put out . winning varsity crew from that shabby boat house down near the finish of the course since June 2S. 1915. Prior to that year. Cornell had registered IF victories in 20 regattas of the association.
 One man made most of that suc- cess, the great Charles (Pop) Court ney, Cornell's famous rowing coach. After his death in 1920. the Itha- cans fortunes faded, but this year finds Cornell men full of hope. Coach Jim Wray has produced a crew whose early season record was exceiled only by those of Columbia and Yale in the east.
 But with nine crews on the Hud- son almost anything can happen once the race is on and virtually every one of them is potentially dangerous.
 There ts Waahinston's crew of giants; Navy, which is believed to have caught finally some of the magic touch of Navy crews of old; Wisconsin and it's new coach. Mike Murphy of Yale fame; M. l. T.. a newcomer ct the local course; q physically strong Syracuse crew: and Pennsylvania with its late season show of strength.
 In tho race for freshman honors. to be rowed over . two mile course at 5:15 o'clock. eastern daylight time. California. Cornell and syra- cuse are favored over Columbia, Navy. M. !. T., and Pennsylvania.
 In the three mile junior varsity event at 6:l5 o'clock, Columbia and Washington are favored over Syra- cuse. Cornell. Pennsylvania and the Navy.
 The varsity race will start at 7:15.
