The Eastern sweep of rowing lau- rels at PoughkeepSie, greatest in ten years, was more than just a romantic comeback for Cornell along with the Orange of Syra- cuse.
 There was drama enough to sat isfy the most poetic as Cornelps great varsity, with substitute stroke, the oldest oarsman and the 1audest coXswain, swept triumphant- ly down the four mile route. Be- hind this smashing achievement was sweet revenge for the Old Guard Of college rowing; the men who have been forced to take back seats while comparative youngsters held the limehght.
 Since the war it has all been the Washington system" and the fGlendon stroke" as the crews of Navy and Columbia, California and Washington dominated the regattas on the Hudson. Yes, Old Jim Ten Eyck was still puttering around at Syracuse, but wasn't he nearly 90 and doddering? Cornell was great in the days of Courtney but that was long time ago, of course, and psrhaps the opposition wasn't so strong. Times had changed, hadn't they, and weren't these new sys- tems insincible? So the boys chat tered. perhaps with some reason.
 Well, "doodering" old Jim Ten Eyck's boys rom Syracuse and Cornell's oarsmei. now drilled by the veteran Jim Wray, who was turning out six victorious crews in a row at Harvard when Courtney was in his prime at Ithaca, swept the river for 1930 And from the way they rowed, freshman, iayvee and varsity, it looks as though they will be the boys to beat for some few years to come.
 Not to forget three cheers for Bill Haines and his M. I. T. boys who finished third to make it I -2-3 for the Old East in the race,
