fornia, a crew that came close to
rowing perfection under far from
perfect ; conditions, mastered the
choppy waters of the Hudson river
today to shatter all records tor the
four-mile championship of the in-
tereollerlate rowlns association."
Never ' worse than ' third and
leaders throughout all of the last
two miles, the Golden Bears bit
the finish ltn half a length la
front of Washington In 18 min
utes, 12 3-5 seconds. Their time
cut six and two-fifths seconds oft

year, - and ' was all the more- re

low beat going into the last mile,
and had to pick it np only when
Washington launched its final, fa
tile challenge in the closing quar
ter mile.
HnskJes Show Well
The Huskies, who had been
beaten six lengths by this same
California crew in April, were the
only boat able to make any sort
of a race out of it. They had a
good three lengths over Navy's
defending champions at the fin
ish, while Cornell's closing spurt
beat out Syracuse tor fourth. Wis
consin finished sixth and Colum
bia seventh and last.
It was obvious from the start
that this was going to be Califor
nia's race. The Golden Bears got
away in third place and held that
through the first halt mile while
Columbia set the pace. The nose of
the California shell showed bars
feet In front at one mile, dropped
back to second by less than a deck
after a mile and a half, and then
went out in front to stay at the
halfway point
Through the first two miles, the
Calif ornians and their pursuers
had been rowing through fairly
calm water with a brisk, favoring
wind, but heading Into the home
stretch they got into choppy seas.
Then California, with its blades
cutting into the water smoothly
at every stroke, pulled away
steadily, while the rest of the pack
was spraying and splashing
through the swells.

open water showing between the
two shells as they whipped Into
the last half mile and by then It
was clear that California had too
much In reserve and Washington
had too much distance to make np.
.California's victory wast the
sixth in the last seven races tor

There was no doubt Hideout's

Immediately after they had
