It was Washington all the way in each of the three races as Al Ulbrickson's Huskies conquered California's Golden Bears, the best the east could throw at them and the surprising varsity bid of Wisconsin's river-borne Badgers. Rac. Dislanc. Short. n.d The classic was shortened from three miles to two miles because of a flash flood which littered the river with debris. The Huskies are the only crew which ever was able to sweep all three events of this rowing extravaganza having done It before in 1936, 1937 and 1948 and they showed again today they had another crew of des tiny. Officials decided to shorten the usual three-mile race by a mile, moving the start down river below the boiling junc ture of the two streams. Washington took it from there. Fr.shm.n Win First As 30,000 spectators jammed the banks of the river and a 40 car observation train followed the race along the Ohio bank, the freshman crew drove to a two-length triumph over Navy and Cornell in a start which was delayed 45 minutes by the soar ing river. Coast guard and army engin eers had shoved most of the debris to the side of the river, where the flow was about four miles per hour, when Washing ton's junior varsity made.it a double. The Husky JVs scored by a length and a half over Cal ifornia with Navy thrd. Then came the big race, with the sun sinking behind the Ohio hills, and the issue wasn't long in doubt. Washington was in front, from the starting gun to the finish line, as Wisconsin stayed alongside for a half mile and then was unable to match the steady, gruelling pace of the rangy Washington sweep-swingers.
