By the Associated Press.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June 81.
Not having anything else to worry
about but the possibility of a
measles epidemic. the general con-
dltior of about $50 oarsmen and
how badly they may be beaten by
those huge Washington Huskies, the
coaches of the nine college crews
training for the intercollegiate re-
gatta now are becoming bit per-
turbed about the weather.
Rowing conditions have been
ideal this week. but the coaches fig
ure it's too good to be true. They
know the Hudson can become quite
stormy stream when the wind
comes up and they'd rather have
rough water now than next
Wednesday afternoon.
The Washington varsity. whose
time trail had been an object of
keer interest in rival camps for
several DAYS, finally went over the
course at full steam yesterday. The
Huskies didn't give out their time,
but competent observers put 1t at
about 18 minutes and 80 seconds
fast enough to win almost any year.
Wisconsin. the lightest crew on
the river, staged yesterdays only
other time trial and was reported
surprisingly fast. Princeton and
California both postponed their
trials until today.
M I. T., whose unbeaten fresh
men and victoryless varsity COM
pleted the roster of 19 crews for
Wednesdays three races. reached
the Hudson yesterday in time for
the frosh to take a late workout.
The varsity's first drill was due
today.
Cornell continues as the Eastern
favorite, showing considerable i'm
provement under a hard-work pro-
gram, but Coach Harrison (Stork)
Sanford indicated there would be no
further trials for the big Red eight.

By BURTON HAWKINS.

The Mats aren't in a position to
speak about it, but they're harbor-
ing silly ideas. From their cellar
perch they are entertaining plans
of sneaking up on the first division,
or at least close enough to view it
with the aid of binoculars. The
Mats, in brief, believe they are ready
to roll toward a more pleasing pas
ture.
Having accumulated four victories
In six games since returning from
. disturbing road trip, Washington
suddenly has located batting punch.
The slack in its attack has been
frightened by the recovery of George
Case. Jimmy BloodWorth and George
Archie who, incidentally, is playing
o brilliant brand of third base.
It's surprising, but the Mats have
resembled a polished club since
Manager Bucky Harris sent Archie
to third base in desperation. The
silent specimen is hitting and he
has bolstered the Mats defensively,
but equally important have been the
simultaneously shattered slumps of
Bloodworth and Case.
George, Jimmy Keep 1t Up.
The Mats were no terrors with
bats in their hands when Case,
BloodWorth and Outfielder Johnny
Welaj were operating in the same
lineup recently. 1t was a tepid
trio, but with the insertion of
Archie at third base and the bench
ing of Welaj the Mats are beginning
to appear as a reasonable facsimile
OF vastly improved outfit.
Case and Bloodworth, ordered to
alter their batting styles by Harris,
are spraying Griffith Stadium's turf
with an assortment of hits. In
Washington's last two games Jimmy
and George have obtained six hits
each, Bloodworth lifting his batting
average % points and Case hoisting
his 18 points in those engagements.
Jimmy and George still aren't
within shouting distance of the
rather exclusive 300 set, but their
improvement has needed the Mats
and Archie'S conduct has been no
drawback. Should that trio con-
tinue to hit, the Mats could offer
the remainder of the league some
novel entertainment from here in.
Washington's immediate objective
must be limited to the comparative
delightful heights of sixth place, OF
course, but the Mats at least are
demonstrating they're moving in the
right direction. They were sepa-
rated from seventh place by an in
flnitesimal margin today after deal
ing the league-leading Cleveland In
dians 7-6 walloping yesterday.
1t was Archie who rescued the
Mats after the Indians had locked
the score at 6-6 with three-run up
rising in the ninth inning. Perhaps
the Mats were stirred by the sight
of Bob Feller feverishly warming up
In the bullpen, preparing to pitch
the tenth inning.
The tiff never reached the tenth
though, for with one out Archie
rsmmed a single to center and stole
