GOULD, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 20— Up the Thames, in lanes bordered by the luxurous pleasure craft and flanked by the picturesque Connecticut hills, Yale and Harvard will row for suprem- acy tomorrow in the classic of American college regattas. Poughkeepsie, with its mighty fleets, has stolen the championship luster that in ancient times also associated itself with the historic regatta here. But no | other college event in the country has | the_glamorous thrill or color of this duel, renewed this year for the sixty- | second time since Yale and Harvard eight-oared crews first met on Lake | Winnepesaukee in 1852. Experts have established Yale as a | ng_favorite in the four-mile varsity race that will bring the regatta to a | climax tomorrow evening. Not so much | is peard about the two preliminary | s o be Towed over a two-mile course | the morning, but Harvard’s husky hman boatload is highly regarded, while the junior varsity crews are con- | sidered well matched. 1t is nothing novel to find Ed Leader’s varsity boat the pronounced choice in pre-race calculations. Since the strong silent man from Washington took com- mand at New Haven to bring the Elis boat out of the doldrums in 1923, Yale | has_ 1 race to Harvard's | arsity as in 1927, when Ed | product broke the rule d six-year winning ; Last year Yale a 10-length " trouncing Yale Crew Impressive, | Time trials and workouts by Yale's) trimmer boatloads ~have | ive. In fact, the most ! reliable information is that the Crim- | son’s best time test was not within four boat lengths of the best EIi trial Nevertheless Harvard's oarsmen have acknowledged power. They outweigh their rivals about seven pounds to the man. The added stamina that this may mean in the long pull upstream from the railroad bridge to Bartlett's Cove is a factor in Harvard’s favor, especially if the water is rough or if the weather stays as hot as it has been for the last week. The Crimson brawn is stroked by a | light-beavyweight, 173-pound Wmmy Lawrence, of Readville, Mass., se‘ting the pace for such giants as Tim Cla.k. 6 feet 5 inc n height and weighing | 205 pounds.

So has thus far been observed, lends uncertainty without which no sporting event is CREWS HAMPERED BY HUMID WEATHER Coaches Have Difficulty Put-| ting Oarsmen in Shape for College Race. By the Associated Press OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20— | Unless the weather lets up a bit | today, the nine crews which row | in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta Monday will | g0 to the big race with even the coaches | uncertain as to their performances. The final week end before the race is a rest period for the oarsmen after their long training grind and today is the last available time for the time trials. Near- ly every coach is planning to send his boats over the course to test their times today if the temperature is low enough. Several such journeys were on the schedule yesterday, but the weather again was hot and humid and Washing- | ton’s easy trip over the entire distance | ate in the evening was the hardest drill | staged by any of the nine camps. That | only proved that the husky varsity could | lead the second boat. Several coaches, among them the M I. T., Wisconsin and Cornell mentors, | are having their troubles getting their men into shape. Wisconsin has not yet | settled the matter of its varsity boating, | while Bill Haines of Tech finally was | forced to the conclusion that his regular | No. 2 oar, Evans, was lost to him for the season because of a strained back. Haines announced yesterday that he would not be in his seat for the race and Otis will replace him. Cornell is faced with the loss of its captain, S. W. Ab- bott, who rows No. 2, because of his slow recovery from an filness. Ky Ebright, California coach, received a severe blow from the heat soon after he had decided his men were ready to race at any time. Four men in his two boats were affected by the hot weather | and indigestion and were unable to row in yesterday’s late workout. Bontillow and Thompson, bow and No. 6 in the | varsity boat, and Carlson and Van Vor- | hees, bow and No. 2 of the freshmen, were out and Ebright said they may be unable to row today. MANGIN, G. U. NET STAR, SCORES IN COLLEGIATES NEW YORK, June 20.— Gregory Mangin, captain of the Georgetown University tennis team, won his way to the semi-finals in the Eastern in- tercollegiate singles championship yes- terday when he triumphed over Edward Tarangiolo, captain of the New York University team and Metropolitan in- door title holder, 6—0, 6—2. Mangin is No. 13 in_the national ranking and is seeded No. 1 in the present tournament. Semi-finals were to be played today and the final tomorrow.

The riders from Dixie won the title yesterday when they rallied briskly to defeat the 3rd Cavalry of Fort Myer, 14 to 11. Mrs. Herbert Hoover attend- ed the game at the end of which she presented each member of the team with a silver cup. For the first part of the match the Georgians trailed, but in the fourth period they got their attack functioning | effectively and from that stage tallied frequently.

COLLEGE NETMEN INVADE THIS WEEK Texan on Oxford-Cambridge Team Which Will Oppose Yale-Harvard Aces. BY VINCENT RICHARDS, Professional Tennis Champion of the World. FTER sending most of its best talent to play abroad, the United States is getting ready to extend the hand of greeting to top-notchers of England and France. 5 The foreign invasion begins this week. Four members of the Oxford-Cam- bridge team arrive for the international intercollegiate match with Harvard and Yale at Newport in July. ‘These matches are a big asset to the game, and Bernon Prentice, who put up a cup to remain in competition for- ever, like the Davis and Wightman cups, is to be commended for getting behind them. It is from the universities and col- leges that the future tennis greats are coming, and this is as true in England as in the United States. After being in a bad slump for years England is beginning to find herself again, and the player in whom she puts her biggest hopes is & former collegian and Cam- Maj. Lyman, No. 1, and Lieut. Jacobs, | No. 3, led the winners' attack, the | former scoring six goals and the latter five. Lieut.

LILLIAN PRIEBE OPENS WOMEN'S GYM CLASS Lillian Priebe of Bethesda, Mc., will shortly open a gymnasium at Glea Echo Park, Md,, for general physical culture and weight reducing for women only. Tom Mulligan will assist Miss Priebe as a teacher of boxing and bag-punching and will have as his assistant, Bob English. It is expected the gym will be ready the latter part of the month. Miss Priebe recently ended a_tour of the West Coast as manager of Battling Best, a light-heavyweight boxer. TENNIS AT COLUMBIA James J. Mitchell, for three years assistant to Otto Glockler, Chevy Chase tennis pro, has been named pro at the bridge captain, H. W. Austin, better known as Bunny Austin. Austin’s fine play was largely responsible for Eng- land’s victories over South Africa and Austria in the Davis cup matches. Young Is Leading Player. The ace of the invaders’ team is a New Zealander, R. R. Young, captain of the Cambridge team. Young represented {his country in the Davis cup matches in 1928, and should be its mainstay within another year or two. Particular interest will center on Edward O. Mather, Rhodes scholar, who went to Oxford a couple years ago from Texas. The other players ar- riving Friday are E. R. Avory, Cam- bridge, who was the junior champion of England when I was over there in 1926, and Paul Barrelet De Ricou of Oxford.

By the Associated Press. ARIS, June 20—It looks like Germany against England in the European zone final of the 1929 Davis Cup campaign. Eng- land already has reached the final, while the second semi-final tie arrays the Germans against Czecho- slovakia Thus far the Germans have been the sensations of the Davis Cup | season, although Czechoslovakia offered a serious threat in yesterday's opening match of their tie. Hans Moldenhauer, leader of the Ger- man team, is regarded this year as ranking nearest of any European player to the three French musketeers, Borotra, Lacoste and Cochet. He won both of his matches against Italy in the quarter finals, beating Baron Humbert de Morpurgo, 1928 sensation, in five sets and De Stefani in three. 'Yesterday he added another straight set triumph, de- feating Macenauer of Czechoslovakia by 6—3, 6—4, 8—6. Menzel upset the | dope for the Germans by giving| Czechoslovakia the second singles match | with @ five-set triumph over Dr. Landemann. | Moldenhauer and Dr. Prenn consti- | tute a strong doubles team that is ex- | pected to carry Germany into the final. | ‘The interzone finals are to be played in Paris in the Roland Garros Stadium, July 17, between the United States and the winner cf: tae European zone final.

Palais Royal II paid 10 to 1.
