Property.

Lawrence Richey, one of President
Hoover's secretaries. has announced he

along Hunting Greek, near Catoctin
Furnace, Md. where President and Mrs,
Hoover have been his guests several
times this Summer.

ed to the tract being posted. Mr..
Richey has received letters and tele-
grams from officials and civic leaders
as well as citizens of Frederick and
nearby sections, In which were appeals
not to dispose Of the place and In which

section were happy To have the Presi-
dent fish In their neishborhood.

YALE CREWS WIN
TWO PREL|M|NAR|ES
Frosh and Juniors Triumph
Over Harvard in Annual
Regatta on Thames.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 81 Cp).
For the sixth time in seven success
sive years, Yale today swept the two
preliminary races In the annual regatta
with Harvard on the Thames River.
The Blue Freshmen, in a spectacular
closing squirt, came from behind to beat
the Crimson Yearlings py a sca2t three
quarters of a length in a two-mfle race
that was thrilling all the way. Immed1-
ately afterward, Yale's Junior Varsity
eight, in workmanlike fashion, rowed
to q decisive and unexciting victory
by four lengths over the Harvard Jay
Wees.
With this twin triumph TO her credit,
Yale's stock remained high in antici-
patton of making it clean sweep by
winning the varsity four-mile race,
Odds on tina Ella for the big event
heightened to three to one on the wave
of Blue enthusiasm.
The thousands looking on from boats,
shores and observation trains got their
principal thrill out Of the battle between
the freshman Fights. From start to
finish the opening event was an ex-
citing affair, with what looked like a
Harvard victory a half mile from the
finish, turned suddenly into smash
ing triumph for the Eli youngsters.
at the getaway, spurted out into a
quarter lead and held varying margin
for the first half of the race. Yale's
Cubs, always within striking distance
challenged at the 34-mile mark and
again at the mile. The Ellis easily got
out in front at this point, but in less
than furlong they had lost their lead
as Harvard spurted again, gaining a
full half length as the crews went past
the mile-and-a-half flags. Yale appeared
beaten, but not for long. Lifting their
stroke up to the astonishing pace OF
about 40 to the minute, the Ellis, stroked
by r. S. Auchinloss, put on rally that
quickly cut down the Crimson advan-
tage. A quarter mile from the finish
they were prov and prov together, but
in the closing dash Yale'S stroke never
faltered. The Eli youngsters gained
steadily and swept across the finish line
three-quarters Of boat length to the
good.
