A crowd estimated at from 25.000 to 60.000 persons, aboard scores of pleasure crnft In the river, the 18-car observation train or perched on vant age points along the shore and on the bridge, saw a California varsity eight, every man of which was competing . Ill the regntta for the first time, sweep t close but convincing victory In the four mile raco and the Husky Washington yearlings row to a five length victory In-the two mllo open ing contest. Only a smoothly striking Junior varsity from Syracuse saved anything for the east, tho orange oarsmen got- tlng a close victory over many In the three-mile Jayvee contest. It was the only race the westerners did not dom inate, California's Jayvces finishing B well-beaten fourth. Washington was not entered. The varsity race wos a west const parade almost from the start to the finish. Cornell, Syracuse and Penn sylvania offered some early conten tion and a fighting navy crew enmo tip In the last half mllo to almost nose out Washington for tho socoml 'Y place but through most of tho four .long miles It was tho two west const rivals fightlnt! it 'out between them selves with tho oastorn entries Just so many supernumeraries. The California victory was a tri bute tt the coaching genius of little be-Bpsctncled Ky Bbrlght, mentor of tho California crows which won Poughkepsle and Olympic titles In 102B and 1033. Taking three untried Juniors and five gangling sophomores he whipped them In a few snort months Into ono of thet smoothest stroking, coolest eights that ever won a Poughkcepslo championship.

MILE, HALF-MILE RECORDS RETURN TO UNITED STATES NEW YORK, June 10 W The foot racing world has two new achieve ments to marvel at today Kansas Glenn Cunningham's wwrld record mllo of 4 :00.7 ond California Ben Eastman's sensational half mile mark of 1:49.8 while America once more can proudly claim supremacy In the human sjeed chase at all standard distances from 100 yords to the mile. In rapid succession Saturday after noon on the llghtlng-fast Princeton University track, Cunningham dash ed away from Bill Bonthron. his Tiger rival, to bring the mile record back to the United States after Eastman had wiped out all existing 880-yard rec ords with a fivo-yard triumph over Indiana's great Charley Hornbostel, who also wos Inside the best previous mark with a 1:50.7 performance. Thus, for the first time since 1923, America con claim the fastest foot rp.ee rs at each of these classic dis tances. Long this country's pride and Joy, the fcnllo record was snatched away by tho fleet Poavo Nurml of Finland 11 years ago, Nurml's tlmo was 4:10.4 subsequently it passed to Jules ' Ladoumegue of Prance, at 4:09.2, and lost July at Princeton wos lowered to 4:07.0 by Jack Lovelock, the slim New Zealander running for Oxford university. Tho half mile record still officially stands on the books to the credit of Germany's Dr. Otto Peltzer. at 1:61.0, set In 1920, but Eastman finished the Job ho and Hornbostel have been working. The American youngsters each had been clocked previously in 1 :S0.9 but there's no argument now that the blond Callfornlan is entitled to the world record honors. Against a runnor who had never been beaten before at the dlstanco, Eastman on Saturday ran the greatest race of his career as ho capped the climax on- a wonderful comeback this spring.
