jerseys. outrowed game Virginia Boat
Club shell by quarter of length in
one Of the most thrilling finishes ever
perpetrated upon the local rowing pub
lie. 1t clinched the team title for the
host scullers, providing the winning
margin of points.
Due to the angle at the finish line
many spectators were of the opinion
the race was a dead heat. Both crews
were practically played out, almost
every man slumping in his seat after
crossing the finish line, unaware Of the
encouraging words of the coxswains.
Bill Miller of the Penn. A. c.. ma
tional single scull champion and rum
ner-up by a split second in the last
Olympics, was the individual stand
out of the meet, twice defeating the
Washington rowing ace, the veteran
Granville Guide. Miller drew first blood
for the Penn A. c. when he defeated
Guide in the half-mile single scull race.
The race originally was scheduled to be
rowed over a quarter mile course. but
the contestants and starters confused
the buoys and twice the distance was
rowed.
Miller's time for the half mile was
minutes 83s seconds.

in the mile single scull race.
Miller clinched for himself the
sculling supremacy. but Guide, in de-
feat, shone almost as brightly as though
victorious. BY only three-flfths OF a
second was he beaten by the great
Pennsylvania sculler in the mile race.
Despite his arduous efforts in the
struggles with Miller. GUIDE came back
to pair with Paul Brewer in the senior
double SOULS to bring the Potomac Club
one of it's three first places.
After the Penn A. c. and the Vesper
Boat CLUB had shared the first two
places, the Potomacs crashed into the
win column by taking the Junior four
Dared gig, defeating Virginia and
Arundel. Then Guide and Brewer
flashed their winning effort to cap 1t

that goose-pimple producer to clnch
the title.
Places Tell Tale.
Ability to gain seconds and thirds
hept the Potomacs in the running. In
the matter Of annexing first places, the
locals were matched by the Penn A. c.,
which also scored three wins but were
shut out for other places, and as
result held to Is points. The boys from
Georgetown gained four second places
and three thirds.
In spite OF the choppy waters the
times were considered good. Perfect
conditions prevailed overhead, with
cloudless skies and a warm sun, and
the railing of Hams Point was thronged
by spectators, anxious to get their flrst
peek at rowing in a decade.
