The Princeton lightweights won for the nrst time in six years, finishing a length ahead of the Navy shell. Yale was third, Columbia fourth, and Harvard last. The Jayvee race was won by Syracuse, since Coach Ten Eyck had put his entire Varsity crew into the Jayvee boat for the race. Penn, Princeton, and Columbia followed in the order named. The Lion crew made a good spurt at the finish, but fell short and came in last. The Yearling Lion rowers continued their winning streak by nosing out the Penn Frosh crew. After a month of training at Poughkeepsie, during which period many shifts were made in the Varsity crew, Columbia was ready for the Pough- keepsie regatta, on the 28th of June. Five crews were entered in the Fresh- man race, including the widely-known California Freshmen. The Lion oars- men got away to a good start and kept in the lead of the encounter to Hnish five and a half lengths ahead of the West-Coasters, after rowing a beat of thirty- eight for most of the course. They had gotten well into the lead at the mile mark and finished in front of a long procession, with California second and Syracuse third. In the Junior Varsity race over a three-mile course, the Washington crew was second at the start, but passed Pennsylvania during the first half mile, and was not headed again. The Columbia Jayvees put up a game light, but finished last in a field of six. Eight giants from the West, in the Washington shell, won the Varsity race, beating the Navy across the line by a single moment. Rusty Callow's boat had obtained a lead of two lengths at the three-mile mark when the Navy started its long sprint which brought them to within fifteen feet of the Wash- ington crew at the finish line. Syracuse was third. Penn and Columbia had been fighting for the last two and a half miles, but the Lion was finally nosed out by half a length after putting up a fine fight. The Blue and White crew had been rated by sports writers to finish last, but they were still full of fight Lzaij

Jayvee boats tied. The light-weights lost by a narrow margin. The Frosh race was first, the yearlings finishing two lengths ahead of the M. I. T. boat with little difficulty. The 150-pound crew race, which came next, was close throughout, but the Columbia boat got out of the favorable tide by taking the last turn wide, so that they were beaten by three-quarters of a length, The Junior Varsity race was also very close during the entire course and was judged a tie, When the Lion Varsity boat lined up against the M. I. T. crew, three of the men were newcomers since the Derby Regatta. Of these, Roegner and Krupa gained permanent seats in the boat. The Blue and VJhite Varsity showed great improvement in their form over the first race, rowing smoothly and crossing the finish line half a length ahead of the Engineers. This victory greatly brightened the outlook for the remainder of the season, The Childs' Cup Regatta was the next event of the season. The Varsity and Freshman crews went to Princeton for the races. The Freshman crew was victorious, but the Varsity finished last. Penn started out in the lead in the Freshman race, holding it for the first mile. Princeton and Columbia then forged ahead, keeping close together for the remainder of the race. The Lion Cubs got a quarter of a length ahead, and held this margin to cross the finish line a few feet ahead of the Tigers. The Varsity race was rather unexciting, the Penn crew taking the lead and keeping it without difficulty. Princeton lost more ground in the final sprint, losing by two and a half lengths, while the Lion was three and a half lengths further astern at the end of the twoemile course. Two days later, on May 31, the Henley Regatta was run off in Phila- delphia over the mile and ive-sixteenths course, with the Columbia 150-pound, Junior Varsity 'and Freshmen crews entered. The Freshmen were again the International Newsreel THE VARSITY BOAT AT POUGHKEEPSIE 52301

Behind the Lion were California, Wisconsin and Cornell. lt was the first time in regatta history that Cornell had been in the last place. Although several men of the Varsity boat graduated in June, the ine material from the Freshman squad will, no doubt, make up the loss. The prospects for a Winning Varsity for l927 are exceedingly bright, and the Columbia men of the past and present generations are looking forward With keen interest to the Poughkeepsie Regatta. But if I had a son, Sir, lid put him on the crew And I'd teach him to do the fine old stunts His Daddy used to do. Lzszj
