' " tNIVERSITT OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Wash., May 24. (Special.)
With a lead of six scant feet the
purple and gold oarsmen nosed their
shell across the finish line and de
feated the California crew in the
annual varsity boat race, held on
Lake Washington this morning. The
Northern freshmen also won their
race, outclassing the babes from the
Bear University by five lengths. The
lake was smooth and the weather
warm. In difference to Saturday even
ing, when the race was postponed
after the Washington shell capsized
When half way through the course.
California's heartbreaking sprint
during the last half mile was the
feature of the race, and officials and
witnesses are frank in their opinion
that had the course been 20 yards
further, victory would have come to
the gold and blue. The Bars over
came an entire length during the last
440 yards and were creeping up on
the Washington shell with each
stroke. The stem of the Washing
tonlans was just six feet in the lead
when the gun sounded at the finish.
The time was IS minutes and S5
seconds.
Bears I.nse to Stroke.
The varsity race was Judged to be
the hardest fought and the closest
ever witnessed on northern waters
Seldom was water visible betwen the
two shells. The start was made at
10:57. Washington caught the water
first and got under way with a sprint
of 38 strokes to the minute. Califor
nia making a like number. The
northern men held down to "33" and
the advantage of the long lay back
of the Conibar stroke became ap
parent. At the end of the first mile
Washington was leading by a quar
ter length, which was Increased to
a half length in the next few hun
dred yards. Washington was hitting
a 31 stroke to California's shorter 32.
At the two-mile point Washington
gained the lead which was respon
sible for their victory. The northmen
responded to the coxswain's call for
an increase of one in their stroke.
and the home shell forged ahead for
a three-fourths length lead, which
was widened then from a full length
to a length and one-fourth. Then
the real grind began. California in
creased its stroke to an extent that
recaptured a quarter length, and
Washington added another notch to
Its speed in an effort to maintain
the lead. Washington was pulling
a 36 stroke, a gruelling sprint ac
cording to the northern method of
rowing. California was leaping ahead i
with a neart-oreaking pace or is
strokes to the minute and fighting
to win. The purple and gold, how
ever, clung to its scant lead until
the finish line was crossed.
Freshmen Overcome Lead.
The freshmen race over the two-
mile course showed clearly the su
premacy of the Washington yearlings.
The Californlans got under way first
and won a length lead in the first
200 yards. But at the half way mark
the Washington youngsters forged
ahead and Increased their lead from
one length to five in the last mile.
Time was 10 minutes and 54 seconds.
The sportmanship of the Califor
nlans has caused much favorable
comment in Seattle. It was the wish
of the southern crew that the race
be rowed over, after the Washington
shell was swamped Saturday by the
high waves. The invaders left for
home Immediately after the race.
The line-ups follow:
California Stroke, Larsen: 7,

ber being used this week. There Is
no jazz on this week's programme at
the Rivoli yet the number to which
Mr. Guterson had reference is "The

and finish that lifts its melody from
the common place to a charming study
emphasized by a novel arrangement
in. which the piano, played Dy Fran

The Sagebrusher" is the photoplay
feature at the Rivoli. This is a
picture made 'under the direction of
the same producer as the Zane Grey
stories' and while from the pen of
Emerson Hough is very much of the
same type. Its cast in many im
portant roles is different from other
Droductions. Roy Stewart plays a
prominent part as does Marguerite De

Morrison.
A matrimonial agency starts the
plot of "The Sagebrusher" off with a
rush. It carries a desperate girl on
the verge of blindness and starving
to a homesteader who has lived years
apart from any civilization other than
that given him Dy nis one neignDor
and bis dog, horses and pigs. Two
romances are woven into the circum
stances which follow the answering
of the matrimonial ad. Both are full
of pathos and of courage. The pic

If Mr. Moore s three brothers had fol

The picture is a comedy, produced

Shirley Mason recently realized a
life-long ambition. She har always
wanted to be a boy so she could "go
barefoot." When Maurice Tourneur
offered her the role of Jim Hawkins
in his big screen version of "Treasure
.Island." Miss Mason jumped at the
opportunity.
"What sort of a costume do I
wear?" she asked.
"Well," said the famous producer,
"if we follow Stevenson, literally, you
really ought to go around barefoot,
but "
"Wonderful!" exclaimed the actress.
"When do I start?"
Only one little thing troubled Miss
Mason she was afraid playing
boy's part would mean cutting off her
hair. But Mr. Tourneur soon reas
sured her that boys and men too
in Jim Hawkins' day wore it long.
