 Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 23.- (UP)-The second clean sweep ot the Poughkeepsie regatta in as many years by the University of Washington's crewmen was a warn ing today to next years challeng- CTS that the world champion Huskies from the Pacific northwest might be immune to defeat.
 The performances of the Jayvee and Freshman crews in yesterdays 39th renewal of the International Rowing Association regatta on the Hudson was the tip-off to what may be expected in 1888, for most of the members of those eights will be on hand next year.
 A year ago the Huskies scored the first triple victory in the history of the Hudson river classic. Yes terday, the young giants who fol- lowed their 1886 victory with tri- umph in the Olympic games, won the four mile varsity event to round out their second consecutive clean sweep of the intercollegiate blue ribbon event.
 Entwined in that skein of six vic- tories-a mark which may never be equalled-were two record perform ances. And one, a three-mile race by the junior varsity that lowered the former mark for the distance by 34 1-5 seconds, bodes plenty of trouble for those who will seek the varsity crown next year.
 The 39th running of the regatta, marred by intermittent rain, was Washington from start to finish. The Huskie created new records in the junior varsity and varsity races, thanks to stiff following wind and helping tide. They won the Jayvee and varsity events going away by four lengths each, and they scored surprise two-length victory in the freshman tWo-mile sprint. None of the other crews offered them moro than early com- petition in any race.
 The Husky varsity, containing the eight oarsmen from last years boat but carrying a new coxSWain, whipped Navy by four lengths in the four-mile grind. Washington took the lead att he mile mark, fought off couple of mild challenges by the sailors and Cornell, and won in the fast time, B 3-5 seconds. The time wiped the last vestiges of Cali fornia'S long reign on the Hudson from the record books, for the Col den Bears of 1928 had created the old record of 1895 4-5. Cornell was a close third behind Navy. Syracuse was fourth and California surprised by finishing as far back as fifth Columbia and Wisconsin, aS expect ed, dragged up in that order fal behind.
 The Huskies, who were 7-10 fav- orites, were figured to win the var sity-but they weren't expected tc come up with another triple. The Washington Jayvee, crew so great that Coach Al Ulbrickson had con- sidered starting it in the varsity event, walked off with its three mile speciality ill the amazing time of 13:44. The former mark of 14:18 1-5 was set by Navy in 1928 The sailors finished second, four lengths behind. while Cornell, the only other crew in the Jayvee, dragged up so far behind that Washington had already started for its boathouse when the Big Red" crew hitthe finish.
 The Washington Freshmen scored the most unexpected victory, whip ping California by two lengths to win this event for the Huskies for the fourth straight time. Washing ton wenttwo miles in 9-15 2-5, the second fastest time in history. Cor nell's 9:l1 3-5 set in 1909 is the record.
 Syracuse, was third, Cornell fourth, Navy fifth and Columbia sixth.
