Oorrle (Associated Press Sports Editor) SEATTLE, April 11 m For the first time In three years the Univer sity 01 unmornia today held the Pa cific coast crew championship and had glamorous "Napoleon" visions of conquering the world. Amazed at their own showing against the University of Washing ton in the 29th annual coast re gatta here Saturday, the battling Hears neacied home filled with hopes of duplicating their magnificent per formance of 1928 when the South erners triumphed in the intercolle giate classic at PoughkeensJe, N. Y.. and the Olympic games at Amster dam. "What happened to Washington?" was the question heard In every cor ner of Seattle today following tho Huskies mortifying 18-length defeat in tne varsity three-mile race. The groat Bear victory left some 100,000 rowing fans dazed and be wildered for Washington crews have rated with the best In rowing circles for many years. It was a sad sight for the big throng as California swept over the finish lino while the Huskies were wallowing a quarter mile behind in a boat half-filled with water. Conditions were not conducive to good rowing but the California vet erans had no trouble with their boat rigged high. Washington, on the other hand, shipped water with ev ery stroko and all the shell had was eight oars and a prayer after the Btart. Another sparkling victory went to California In the Junior varsity three mile event. It was similar to the varsity race, the Bears Jumping Into tho lend at the sturt and winning by six lengths. . Washington, however, was not whitewashed In the manner the Huskies treated the Southerners the last two years. The purple and gold freshmen shell brought what glory there was left by capturing the open ing two-mile event. The California cubs had the mis fortune of losing control of their oars in tne yearling race and the "pups" were victorious by three and one-half lengths. Winning times were: varsity, 16 minutes, 49 seconds; Junior varsity, I 17:14.0; and freshman, 11:41. Wheat Markets Unsettled; Crop Forecast Given ti:achi;hs takk cut HILLSBORO. Oro..

Aor. 11 fSDeciall- Domestic wheat markets wen un settled during the week ending April 8, influenced by the weakness in se curity markets, less favorable pros pects for winter wheat and delayed seeding of the spring crop, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. bureau of agricultural eco nomics, uorn markets were mostly weak and lower, with futures at Chi cago reaching the lowest point' since February, 1000. Oats and barley were lower with corn. Ryo declined under tne innuence of a slow demand. Flax markets remained inactive with trading limited by small receipts. While the sharp decline In nrlccs of securities was a weoxemng influence in wneat rutures toward the close or the week and resulted in a material lowering of wheat prices, several fac tors tended to offset this and to strengthen the domestic wheat situa tion. The most Important of tht strengthening influences wos the les lavorabie prospect for winter wheat and the delayed seeding of spring crops. The condition of winter wheat April 1 was only 76.8 per cent of nor mal, compared with the ten-year average of 80.9 per cent for that date. April 1 condition and preliminary re ports from correspondents Indicate an acreage abandonment of nearly 14 per cent for the U. 8. aa a whole this season, compared with the ten-year average of 12 per cent. While April 1 Is too early for an accurate- forecast i of final production, an analysis of condition Indicates a total outturn of winter wheat of- around 458.000.000 1 bushels or about 330,000,000 bushels less tnan last year's harvest. Such an outturn would give about 200,000,000 bushels of hard red winter wheat, 165,000,000 bushels of soft red winter and about 37,000,000 bushels of fall- sown white wheat. Prospects for the new winter wheat. crop ot the northern hemlsnhere an- pears somewhat less favorable than a year ago. Winter seedlngs in fourteen counuies reporting to date, exclusive of those of the Lower Danube and of Russia, give combined acreage of 123,1 887,000 acres, as against 123,736,000 acres- for tho same countries a year ago. Estimates available at the mid dle i f February for tho Lower Dorid bian countries show a combined area, or 17,856,000 acres as compared with 20,173,000 acres for the same coun trie3 p. year ago. These estimates huwovei, are Incomplete and subject to lcvlslon. Tho Russian winter wheat acreage Is placed at 32.337,000 acres, compared with 29,028,000 acres seeded lost year. Conditions of winter wheat In foreign countries are irregular, ' with some ni-eos reporting consider able injury from winter klllinc . and' others (.oncrally favorable prospeota. i The condition of the German crop Is reporwa ueiow average and less fa vorable thnn a jcar ago. In parts ol th3 Danublan but In, particularly In i-.ungary, wnero crops suirercd con siderable damago from winter killing. prospects are unsatisfactory. . In the Mcuitirrnncuu countries, the outlook In more favorable and conditions ap pear to be generally up to average. The acreage In Spain, France ano iiaiy, tin three most important pro ducing countries of this group, is placed at :,6,620.000 acres as ogains. ai.oiu.uoo ecic& last year. Kurnpc.ni Market Steady European wheat markets held cen orally steany during the week, under the influence of light offerings of na tlvo wheat. Prict-i of milling wheat at Hamburg advanced about 3c, to $10014. Native wheat at Paris was about lo higher at 1.904, with the Milan market steady at $1.65.
