Odd3 against a knockout by cither man were 3 to 1. Both Schmeling and Sharkey came down from their training camps In upper New York state in excellent condition, Sharkey has been tne more Impressive during the training grind but the experts pointed out that Schmeling never had looked any too good in a gymnasium. He needs real competition to look his best.

N. Y.. June 21 "California's crew for California's Olympics" wasn't Just a slogan to day. It looked very much like a prophecy, Instead, aa a result of the smashing victory of the Golden Bears over six eastern and one far western rival last evening In the four-mile vurMty championship race of the In tercollegiate regatta. , So far duplicating their triumphal naval maneuvers of 1D28, when they Bwept unbeaten to world champion ship height In the Olympics, the 1 Californians now turn to the Ameri can Olympic try-outs, to be held July 7-8-0 on Lake Quinslgawond, and a prospective battle with Yule, among others. There will be a strong fleet assem bled for the Olympic tests, Includ ing at least two of the losing boat loads yesterday, Washington and Syracuse, as well as, Wisconsin, Co lumbia's graduate eight and the Penn A.

The Beam failed to touch their own course record, due to a wind that shifted tip stream, but administered a pretty sound beating to Cornell's powerful boatload, as well as Wash ington, Navy's defending champions and the highly rated but extremely disappointed Syracuse eight.
