BY LAWRENCE PERRY,


NEW YORK. June 7.-Columbla
rowing enthusiasts have q definite
feeling that Cornell'S aquatic eX-
ploits this season have caused the
public to overlook claims Of the
Lions to recognition as a formidable
Poughkeepsie contender.
Much talk has been heard about
Cornell" says Robert Harron. Co.
lumbia's tub thumper, and all that
has been heard is justified. But
what about Columbia? Cornell beat
Yale by one fifth of a second on the
Housatonic. Yale nipped Columbia
on the Harlem by three -fifths of a
second. So that makes but the
slightest difference of four-ffths OF
second between Columbia and
Cornell. In other words we at
Morningside feel that the Lions are
going to the Hudson with a lot OF
stuff
Reason for Optimism.
Bob Harrison has reason. For be-
sides the splendid contest against
the Ellis it will be recalled that the
Blue and White cleaned up the Sew
ern on April q in the freshman.

ship at the finish by more than six

Besides this, all three of the Lion
crews prevailed against Princeton

FrOsh Ban Seen Help.
While members of the freshman
crews of Washington and California
were grievously disappointed at the
decision of rowing authorities of the
two West Coast universities not to
take them to Poughkeepsie, rowing
men in the East feel that on the
whole the action will be to the
advantage of Husky and Bear
aquatics
One of the great holds of rowing
on both these institutions is the ap-
peal of the annual journey across
the continent to New York. If, it is
argued, freshmen have to wait a
year before making the journey they
approach it eagerly. Besides, there
is the novelty of the adventure
which, had it been vouchsafed them
in their first year of college, would
have lost certain zeSt.

Cupboard Rocing's Great Gain
Over 11-Yeor Span Does Much
To Better Quality of Craft

With the official supervision of
the sport of outboard racing going
into its second decade this year.
this form of recreational boating
continues to expand and the cell
ing III outboard speeds has not yet
been reached, AYERS James w. Null
roy, secretary of the National Out
board Association.
The ever-lncreaSing number Of
inland lakes and other waterways
made available for boating by COM
pletion of Government projects has
resulted in thousands of new con-
verts to cupboard use and with it
interest in racing has grown pro-
portionately. Mulroy added.
The second annual observance of
National Cupboard Week, TO be cele-
brated throughout the country start
ing tomorrow and lasting through
June l6, will mark the 1lth ami
Versary of the National Cupboard
Racing Commission. which was
formed in 1929 to supervise and
foster the growth of what was then
comparatively new and unknown
form of sport.
Although some competition among
outboard drivers had prevailed since
1925. the phenomenal rise of out
boarding as recognized activity
began with the first national out
board champions at Peoria, III, Oc-
tober 1913, 1929.
Racing Develops Craft
Racing played an important part
in the testing and development of
the automobile and the regatta cir
cults have served the double purpose
OF not only producing new outboard
design but also introducing the
sport throughout the country. The
cupboard motors, being readily port
able. having been used in the most
remote sections for regatta tests.
And back of this early interest in
racing lies the present-day wide
spread use of the outboard motor
Tor general recreational purposes.
This rise in popularity of the out
board has seen corresponding
boost in the speed tables. The first
national cupboard championships
began the steady assault on the rec
ord book and the end is not vet in
sight. In 1880, one year after the
first title regatta, the season was
cllmaXed by the first 5O-mile- can
hour mark ever attained
In 1888 an cupboard hit speed
OF mile a minute over a measured
mile and in 1888 better than so
miles an hour was recorded by a
class x boat in competition.
