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.
With the varsity victory Washing
ton wrote a brilliant chapter Into
far western regatta history, as the
Junior varsity and freshmen crews
had won their races earlier In the
afternoon. The Husky Javee shell won
its three-mile rare in 17 minutes 43
seconds by a margin of five and one
half lengths, while the yearlings
showed the way In the two-mile
opener In the time of 11:44 8-10. the
freshmen finished three lengths ahead
of their California rivals.
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.

from John Henry Lewis. Phoenix
negro, In a ten-round battle here last

fore a near capacity crowd of about
8.000 at Dreamland auditorium.
Lewis won going away from the
opening round with a barrage of
right and lefts that put Olln down
for a no-count knockdown m the
third and opened up cuts over both
of the champion's , eyes. The New
York boy who took the title away
from MaxU Rosenbtoom last fall made

ended the bout by tossing a towel

counted indefinitely.
