EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, No Real Choice in Hudson Regatta : French Hope to Win Olymplc Distance Runs CREWS MOST EVEN INRACE'S HISTORY U. of Washington Appears to Hold Edge if Any Is to Be Conceded. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June | 25.—Nine of the most even- ly matched varsity crews in | the 35-year history of the | Intercollegiate Rowing Associa- | tion regatta were primed today| for the biggest sporting speclacle of the college year. On the broad expanses of the" Hudson tomorrow, the picked| young heavyweight manhood of‘ two far Western universities, one | from Middle West and six from | the East will fight it out in the| 4-mile feature battle of a regatta that brings into action a record- breaking total of 23 eight-oared crews. With the big event just one day| away, the assembled experts and even | the coaches whose business it is to know, were certain of nothing except that the struggle would not end up in a foul. When asked to pick the prob- able winner most of them started off by naming Washington, made a couple of false starts and then mentioned Co- lumbia, Navy and California, winding up with the emphatic_statement that Syracuse, Cornell, M. I. T. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania cannot be figured out of the running, which makes it just about unanimous. Huskies Are Powerful. If there is a favorite it is undoubt- edly not the defending champions, Co- lumbia, but the lowering eight from the University of Washington, which has come up to this climatic event with two victories and no defeats on its Tecord. In fact there is some disposition among loyal Washington alumni to de- clare that the boys from Seattle may carry not only the varsity event but the junior varsity and freshman races | as well thereby performing the un-| precedented feat of sweeping the river in three eight-oared events. None of the hysky. eights has yet been beaten and as a result all three are among Washington U. Oarsmen Are Difficult to Beat 'OLUMBIA, Navy and California hlve been the only crews able o stop the Washington Huskies in the last eight naval battles for varsity rowing supremacy In the classic Poughkeepsie Regatta. Navy turned the trick twice, in 1922 and 1925, sandwiching a pair of Washington victories. umbia has led the Huskies for the past three successive years, but both were beaten out by California in 1928, the record-breaking year. The record of Washington's 10 years of rowing in the Hudson's blue ribbon race affords an interesting comparison. Here's the first five in each year the Huskies have com- ted 1913—Syracuse, Cornell, Washing- ton, Wisconsin and Columbia. 1914—Columbia, ‘Penn, Cornell, Syracuse and Washington. 1922—Navy, Washington, Syra- cuse, Cornell, Columbia. 1923—Washington, Navy, Colum- bia, Cornell and Penn. 1924—Washington, Wisconsin, Cor- nell, Penn and Syracuse. 1925—Navy, Washington, Wiscon- sin, Penn and Cornell. 1926—Washington, Navy, cuse, Penn and Cornell. 1927—Columbia, Washington, Cali- fornia, Navy and Cornell. 1928—California, Columbia, Wash- ington, Cornell and Navy. 1929—Columbia, Washington, Penn, Navy and .

Moon in the opening round of Wimbledon is as sudden and swift as a playful “Texas twister” cyclon- ing across the wide open spaces of the Lone Star State. Allison is a native Texan. PFrom the standpoint of American tennis he fol- lowed the trail first ridden over by Lewis N. White and Louis Thalheimer. They scored in the national intereollegiate doubles in 1923 and 1924. It was Al- lison, however, who placed Texas in the singles in' 1927. making the first time it had appeared there. That year, despite some ,opinion to the contrary as to his ability, the rangy player accounted for the defeat of John Van Ryn, Princeton, 8—6, 6—4, 6—4, in the semi-final round of the college battles. In the final the Californian, familiarly S=tyh o = a bright pink expanse upon the lawn tennis map. To take the Australian champion, Moon, for a gay gallop at 6—1, 6—3, serves notice that Allison is rid- ing high on form.
