17 CREWS ON EDGE ET.1&- '
Cornell Favorite for All Three
Races at Poughkeepsie,
WASHINGTON NOT DESPISED
Pennsylvania. Said- to Have Made
Best Time in Trials Seattle Four
and Eight Depend on. Power
Behind Their Strokes.
POUQHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20.
The 17 crews of Cornell. Columbia,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Washington
and Syracuse put the finishing touches
on their weeks of training for tomor
row's big regatta this afternoon. All
the crews were on the river, but no
hard work was indulged in.
The eve of the regatta brought -with
it the vanguard of the crowds, . and
tonight the hotel lobbies were thronged
with supporters of the various crews.
Cornell wasgthe favorite. Not many
large wagers' were reported, but offers
of even money on Cornell against Co
lumbia and Washington have been ac
cepted, and 10 to 8 on Cornell against
Wisconsin and Syracuse. Wagers that
Cornell will take all threo races are
few, early betting on the freshman race
being Cornell against any one crew at
even money, while betting on the four
oared race 6howa Cornell, Washington
and Pennsylvania the main factors.
Pennsylvania's Trial Fastest.
Few people know the fastest time
trials of the various crews entered In
the big race, but it can be authorlta
tively said that the fastest four miles
made by any one crew was that of
Pennsylvania early this week. Cornell's
fastest time Is reported to have been 10
seconds slower than Pennsylvania, and
Washington's fastest trial eight seconds
slower. Coaches, however, place no
dependence on time trials.
While Cornell and Columbia are be
lieved to have the smoothest rowing
varsity crews, there is some question
whether the New Yorkers are able to
stand the grind for four miles.'
Coach Connibear, of Washington, -who
has the heaviest varsity crew. Is plac
ing great stress on the power of his
boat. An indication of the tremendous
power in the Washington shell is de
termined by the fact that -when under
way the swirl from the No. 2 oar passes
the rudder, a condition that does not
exist with any other crew. The blades
of the oars used by the Pacific Coast
crew also are wider than the oars of
the other crews.
Shift Made. In Wisconsin Cretr.
In the Wisconsin varsity crew Boh-
steadt, who pulled the No. 2 oar until
few days ago, will be at stroke in
place of Evert, who takes the No. 2
oar. Coach Vail says the shell moves
faster with the new combination.
The Columbia crews have been row
lng with remarkable smoothness and
showing more endurance, so that Coach
Rico thinks there will be no difficulty
about holding out.
Pennsylvania s crews have shown 60
per cent improvement in the last 10
days, and Coach Ward is now looking
forward to good races, and particularly
wun tne iresnman crew.
The four-oared race is called for
o'clock, the freshman race at 6:15 and
the varsity race at 6 o'clock, all races
boing rowed down stream on the ebb
tide.

Seattle Crew Fears Cornell More
Than Any- Other in Today's Race.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 20. (SDe
clal.) The University of Washington
eight-oared crew will have a strategic
position in the Poughkeepsie course
tomorrow. In -a letter . . to an under
graduate of Washington University to
day, Captain Edward Taylor, bow, says
tnat nis crew has drawn No. 3. a water
lane which places the Washington eight
a tnird or tne way across- the Hudson
River with the advantage over Cornell
If a south wind blows.
"If the water Is smooth." Taylor
writes, "there will be no difference In
the strength of the tide at the position
No 3 and No. 6, where Cornell is sta
tioned at the Btart. Cornell Is our most
feared rival, and on a smooth day
neitner or us will have the advantage.
tr a nortn wind blows all crews suf
fer the same handicap, but if the breeze
is from the south Cornell will get th
worst of It. .
"Cornell In any kind of weather will
have one disadvantage at least Th
Ithaca boys must pass close to large
bridge piers and the tide will draw
them in, making It necessary for Cor
nell to use Its rudder at these points,
which is a handicap.
The Poughkeepsie course is straight
away, and while it is ideal' from a
spectators' point of view, yet for every,
day rowing It is poor, as there is
usually a stiff wind blowing. There
are no Union Bays or Foster Islands,
as there at home, to break the force
of the wind, and it gets a full sweep
up and down the river. We must row
in the rough water, or wait until sun
down In hopes that it will abate."
Taylor and his fellows fear Cornell,
while Wisconsin has a wholesome re
spect for Columbia. The varsity cap
tain writes that critics have grudgingly
come to believethat Washington will

have a chance : tomorrow. "For "them!
even to concede. that we will be in thel
running Is a pretty good sign for us,"
writes Taylor.
The four-oared crews have an-oppor
tunity to watch the various varsities
at work." he continues, "and the men
in the shells say that we show as
good form and power as any of the
others. Still we must take this with a
grain of salt and remember that this
Is our first race in new environment
and in a river.
'Wisconsin digs into .it hard and lacks
the smooth, easy polish of the Cornell
crew, which seems to shoot along with
out apparent effort. The Wisconsin
men made a trip down to our boat
house and it seemed to be their opinion
that Columbia was better than Cornell.
The captain of Wisconsin told me that
he had never seen such evenly matched
crews as Cornell, Columbia, Wisconsin
and Washington.
"In one of the last workouts we went
over the course on slack tide at a 28
stroke in 20:26. The race is always run
on the middle of the ebb tide, and last
year's time was 19:50. A good many
Poughkeepsie races are won in 20 min
utes flat. I -fully believe -we can go
over the course at 20 flat at a 32
stroke." TENNIS PLAY OH TODAY

INDEPENDENCE, Or.. June 20.
(Special.) Unscheduled thrills, one on
top of another, added unusual excite
ment to today's . programme of home
coming week. here. The unexpected
numbers began this morning, when two
horses, ridden. by women In the riding
contests, ran away.
The sulky drawn by Dan S capsized
at the start of the second heat of 2:13
pace this afternoon, throwing the driver
to the track. " The horse continued un-
guided around the track, breaking his
gait but once and for only a short
period. He later took three straight
heats.
Topping off this series 'of unan
nounced features, a jockey riding Sue
McNamara, left his mount and attacked
the boy on Julius Plucus and a lively
fight followed. Not one of the persons
figuring in the events was injured.

Pullman Takes Second Honors and
Oregon Third Relay Race Is
- Marred by Foul Which Gives
Event to Washlnifton State.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 20. (Spe
cial.) Athletes from the Multnomah
Club, Portland, swept the boards clean
today in the first Interstate open track
meet ever held in the Northwest, the
blue ribbon sporting event of the Pow
Pow and, incidentally, one of the most
interesting and notable contests of its
sort ever staged in the Northwest.
The Multmonah Club scored 45 points.
Washington State College was second
with 20 points and the university of
Oregon third with 18 points. Other
point winners were the Seattle Athletic
Club 17. Whitman College 8, Vancouver
Athletic Club 10, Oregon Agricultural
College 10 and the Spokane Amateur
Athletic Club 3.
Perfect weather attracted a crowd
variously estimated at from 2500 ' to
3000.
Relay Race Marred.
Only one regrettable incident marred
the perfect day of sport. The Whitman
College relay team accomplished the
surprising upset of "dope" by defeat
ing Washington State College's con
ference record-breaking quartet In a
stirring scramble over a mile course
and then losing this event by disquali
fication. Thompson, running the first lap for
Whitman, jostled and threw McConnell,
running the first lap for Oregon. As
the race had just barely started, it is
uncertain if the accident deprived
Oregon of the honors and it is certain
that it did not hinder the W. S. C.
runners, which the Whitman team beat
fairly and squarely. McConnell fin
ished the first lap with blood stream
ing down his face.
Bellah Star of Meet.
Lacking five-eighths of an inch of
12 feet is what Sam Bellah, Multno
mah's representative at the 1912 Stock
holm Olympic, did in the pole vault.
Bellah tried four times ineffectually
for 12 feet 4 inches. He was probably
the most appreciated of all the 60 odd
performers by the crowd.
The Javelin throw, a new event to
the majority of the spectators, "was won
by a Washington State College lad,

Had he been crowded he could doubt
less have cut off 10 or 15 seconds.

In action today three athletes deemed
of enough worth to be chosen from all
