June 20 (AP) Barring accidents, the coaches of all crews along the Hudson now have decided upon their boatings for the lnter-colle-giate regatta Monday. A survey of their selections today showed that Columbia, will have the heaviest varsity crew, California the tallest and Cornell the oldest. The fact that California's cham pion Golden Bears rank no better than fifth In point of average weight may occasion some sur prise but this is lessened when it is noted that only a pound and a quarter per man separates the first crew in the weight table from the fifth. Columbia averages 179 3-8 and California 178-18, The other comparatively heavy crews are Cornell,. Washington and Mas sachusetts Tech.

T IS SOLD IS J LI f V K PORTLAND, Ore., June 20. - (AP) An ancient gunboat that once hove to and fired a broadside in Manila Bay with Admiral Dewey's fleet at her side today be came a commodity of barter and a junk concern bought her. The vessel is the U. S. S. Con cord, which for the past 20 years has been lying in the Columbia river opposite Astoria, forgotten and unsung. A Portland Junk company's bid to naval officials at Washington was accepted. Now the craft, built at Chester. Pa., in 1891, will be converted into a barge. The Concord was assigned to the Columbia river as a quaran tine boat, but not long ago a sur vey was conducted and the craft was ordered sold. In 1911 when the cruiser Boston was assigned by the navy to the Oregon naval militia, the Concord was turned over to the Washington naval mi litia at Seattle and afterward was replaced by the Vicksburg.
