ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 25.-In a
gallant battle to a finish, so close that
the last pull of the Quaker oarsmen

smooth-sweeping varsity crew earned
scant two-foot triumph over Navy

Adams Cup race as President Roose-

So we'll matched were the Quaker
and Sailor Fights that they fought
down the stretch on such near even
terms that the Pennsylvanians. with
a mighty sweep of their oars, drove
across the end of the mile-and-three-
quarter course with a mere fraction Of
a length edge.
Pennsylvania time in winning this
informal Eastern sprint championship
was 1885. while the Sailors were but
a tenth of a second slower. Harvard,

4 minutes l44 seconds.
He came back an hour later to gal

winning easily over Walter Stone, an
other Wolverine.

triumphs in the 220-yard dash and

by himself after the first few strides,

That jump about which track fans
likely are to be talking for a long

just about a perfect effort.
