mud-yellowed Ohio to varsity,
Junior varsity and freshman tri
umphs. 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.

To Dodgers
New York, June 17 (U.R)
The St. Louis Cardinals ran in
to the national league's probable
starting battery in next month's
annual all-star game today and
found the experience equally dis
couraging to the American
league's chances and their own
pennant hopes.
Shuffling Don Newcombe and
pudgy Roy Campanclla, the Na
tional league's outstanding bat
tery, combined to jolt the Red
birds. 10 to 2. and move the
Brooklyn Dodgers to within a
game and a half of first place.
Newcombe threw aspirin tab
lets at Stan Musial and company,
striking out eight and allowing
five hits while Campanella
knocked in two runs with a sin
gle and his 14th homer of th.
season.
Ted Gray stifled a ninth-Inning
rally to hurl the Detroit Ti
gers to a 2 to 1 victory over the
Boston Red Sox and increase the
Bengals' American league lead
to 2Vi games over the New York
Yankees, who lost to the St.
