Then’ something: happened over in the boat house which Washington, winner of the big race, shared with the Wisconsin crew. “Rusty” Calfow, coach of the Washington eight, was of the opin- fon that Cardinal oarsmen were rat- ing themselyes too modestly. « “You can row; you can beat these easterners,"” he told the Wisconsin outfit. “Get out there and do it; I'm ashamed of you.” ‘These words from the Washing- ton mentor aroused the Cardinal crew to great deeds, and they were at the top of their form on regatta day, and showed the way to Cor- nell, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Columbia in the big race at twi- American Association.

Both Cornell and Wisconsin beat ‘the -tiring “Red and Blie boat to: the finish, but none of them were within’ striking dis- tance of the Washington shell, the far western aggregation got his eight into the lead shortiy after they broke from the mark, two miles above the spider-web railroad trestle. Then Washington had nothing to do but hold the lead. For a time, Gaunt devoted his atiention to the crews of Penn and Cornell, which were press- ing him. - After they came under the bridge, however, he could see out of the corner of his left eye the nosé of the Wisconsin shell creeping up. Turning, the little Washington cox studied the oncoming Cardinal Sweeps and then suddenly beat more rapidly ‘on his sounding Board and sent his crew into a spurt. The Washington boat drew rapidly away, crossing the finish a length and a half to the good with plenty of power to spare. The first thing Wisconsin did after crossing the line was to turn and wave to their victorious rivals in the Washington boat, as much as to 3 Well, boys, we did it.

The Washington coach was loyal to his university, however, and at that time insisted he would have to fulfill his contract. Harvard offered to pay the amount of his contract and give him a-salary of $15,000 a year beside: it he would take charge of the Crimson crews. eee Keep the matter quiet, but the Washington undergrads and old boys alike were dead © and were ready to take off their shirts and bet ‘them on the varsity. shell. Of course, betting in college sports is immoral, but— 5 Several years ago, when Washing- ton was either less affluent or less generous, a crew came east: with barely enough to get by on. The boys bet their return trip morfey ‘on the purple and gold. That time they lost. Report was that the bull of the guests from the coast didn’t walk home, but took a» sidedoor Pullman and worked in the Washington har- vest fields until they got money to send east for their shell., Well, they didn't walk home after the 1924 race; they were, as the poet says, “lousy with coin.” In one car on the observation train, there was a bunch wearing the purple and gold. They bet until their faces matched their colors. Finally, Wisconsin backers appeared with $20 more. The Washington bunch searched them- selves, ‘In small coins they raked up Finally, the Washington leader appealed’ to an outsider for a loan, tending his watch as sécurity. The security was rejécted, but "$18 was advanced, the Wisconsin money covered and that particular Washing- ton bunch was absolttely stony—but only until after the race.

(Copyright, 19: Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 2.—Georges Carpentier has begun energetic preparations for his coming battle against Gene Tunney. It is an tm- portant test for iim and if he wins his future will be bright. For with Battling Siki nothing but a wreck of the man who beat Carpentier in France, Carpentier can hurdle into a world’s chamption- ship by beating McTigue. Descamps says that the finest thing that ever happened to Georges was the fight with Gibbons. ‘This remark he made the night of the Tunney-Spalla battle where he and the Orchid champion were on exilbition.. Descamps said his man needed the experience of battle against a battler so good is Gibbons and the showing Carp made ought to make him a favorite over Tunney. Francois dia not mention the fact that, under the rules obtaining in the Gibbors-Carpentier bout Tommy was’ enjoined from doing almost everything in the way of assault except massaging his opponent ‘deft Anyway, Descamps says that Corp's right afone will be sufficient ‘to settle Tunney and there aie not a few who bellove this {s so provided Carpentier can land it a sufficiently number of times.

NEW YORK, July 2.—The match between Georges Carpentier and Gene Tunney which—as exclusively stated by the writer—will be held this month, has now been pinned down to a definite date. July 22 is the date set and the place the Polo Grounds. \ Carp is training ateCurley’s place on Long Island and Tunney {s tak- ing up a little rest up in Poland Springs, Maine, so unless the boxing authorities object—this {s unlikely —the fight is on. Ermino Spalla made such a good impression in his battle with Gene Tunney that he has received sev- eral bids for bouts. With such skilled’ handling as Bable Culnan can-give Spalla ought to do very well in this country for some time to come, And with a year of added experience, the big wop will prob- ably be a dangerous customer for any of the heavies below the Demp- sey level. ‘The governor of Indiana, if he chances to see the Greb-Stribling fight at Michigan City will probably give an interesting decision on the bout. ,With huge gloves on their fists and Greb clowning all over the ring, it is a cinch he will be the last one to call the mixup a “prize fight.” Sport Calendar Racing Meeting of Queens County Jockey Club at Aqueduct.

The idea would involve intercol- legiate sectional meets, in. the vari- ous sections, north, south, east and West, and then the final intercol- legiate meet at some central point convenient for all—say Chicago. It is not beyond the realm of pos- sibility that the I. C. A. A. AL A. might propose this very thing, call- ing for a general convention.
