as against the 20 points Of the
Dundalk Club of Baltimore, Md, and
the Cacawa Boat Club of Pennsylvania,
which tied for the runner-up position.
The Philadelphia canoeists finished q
close third with II points, while the
Potomac Boat Club took fourth with 6.
The Y. M. G. A. racers Of Bristol, Pa,
failed to score.
After being given a stiff battle at
the start by Cacawa and Dundalk,
the Washington bladesmen gradually
took a commanding lead and pulled far
away from the field after of the Is
events were run off.
In the feature race of the day, the
senior one-man double blades race,
knight, dean of paddlers in this
vicinity, fought great uphill battle to
snatch victory from one of the best
canoeists in this vicinity, r. Graf of
Philadelphia. Less than 80 yards from
the finish line, the former Olympic
star came from behind to nose out
Crafts craft by less than half a
length.
The regatta, scheduled to start at
o'clock, was held up for some time,
pending the arrival of several of the
out-of-town clubs and it was almost
too dark to see the finals and semi
finals of the fitting events, the last on
the program. The fitting contests,
however provided the most excitment
of the day with brisk battling in order
before Bud Haven of the host club,
self-styled champion of the world,
emerged victorious.
Haven, standing in the bow Of the
canoe, almost submerged the fral craft
with his some $50 odd pounds. Haven
defeated both Frank Nobel and Howard
Florence of the same club, both former
Tech High athletes, who finished Sec
ond and third, respectively.
With the weather ideal, the Washing
ton Canoe boat house was packed to
capacity. Medals were presented the
winners and the trophy again was
tucked away by the host club. A dance
was held in the evening.
