IN M FINISH California First Reported As Winner Huskies Also Gain Junior Varsity And Freshmen Victories On Oakland Estuary. OAKLAND. Cal.. April 13. (AP) Driving their gleaming shell over choppy wiiters In almost tireless fash ion, University o( Washington's var sity oarsmen rowed to a thrilling victory over California today In a three-mile race so close it was first announced California had won the classic. In the confusion following the "nose and nose" finish, the public address system announced California had won by a mater of two feet. . While thousands of followers were cheering what trey thought was the first Bear victory over the Huskies on Oakland estuary since 1929. Judges returned the official verdict that Washington had won by a matter of nearly six feet. . The two shells shot under the bridge at the finish line bo close to gether the two flags denoting the end of the race dropped almost si multaneously. There was only a mat er of two-fifths of a second between them. Washington's winning time was 16 minutes 13 seconds, considerably slower than the course record of 14 53 4-5 set by the Huskies In 1931.

The closeness of the finish of the varsity race furnished a rare climax to the spectacular duel between two youthful crews, Washington repre sented entirely by sophomores and California having only two members of last year's national Intercollegiate championship In its boat. After the race ended, the first an nouncement over the official public address system was that the Judges' verdict would have to be awaited be fore the winner could be named. The announcement the Bears had won came after a lapse of a few minutes. BEAVERS PUT UP BATTLE TO LOSE LOS ANGELES. April 13.
