DE PINEDO HAPPY FLIGHT IS OVER Airman Back in Rome After 30,000 Mile Trip Rome, June 17 (UP)—"It was a magnificent adventure,” Francesco De Pinedo, Italian filer, told the United Press upon completion of the flight which carried him 30,000 miles over western Europe and Africa, across the south AMantic, and South America, up through Central and North America, across the north Atlantic, and back to Rome. De Pinedo arrived yesterday evening. “I am certainly happy that I fin- ished the flight without a mishap,” De Pinedo sald. “I enjoyed every part of the journey.” The Italian airman paid his re- spects to the American fiers, Charles Lindbergh and Clarence Chamberlin, and sald he wi lighted with their success. especially glad,” he said, “over Bel- lanca’s success,” referring to the de- signer of the plane which Chamber- | lin and Charles A. Levine flew across L the Atlantic. “I hope he comes to Italy,” he eontinued. “He certainly deserved success after his years of painstaking efforts.” | De Pinedo appeared in the rosiest | He was not surprised that | a United Press correspondent was| of health. corres- | plonships will be repeated—that the champion will be beaten but that the championship will remain on the Pa- cific coast through a victory by Cal- ifornia. Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, Penn- sylvania and California are working on the Hudson river course and Washington and the Navy are ex- pected there within a few days, as well as the Wisconsin freshman crew. There isn't much boasting about the chances of an eastera crew tak- ing tho varsity champlonship away from the far west, but because of its ’grell record the Navy is held up as a hope for the principal reason that navy crews are also powerful and full of rowing. The two races this year will at- {tract more than the average interest.

The weather bureau map pre- rared for the flyer showed two orm centers over the Atlantic. The largest had its center 1,000 miles west of Scotland and covered a wide a. The second was southeast of Newfoundland and covered an area of about 800 miles in diameter. It was the belief of bureau officials hat thes two areas would hardly clear in two days, Meanwhile everything was in 1eadiness for the flight, with the Aruerica’s three motors thoroughly tuned and the ship ready to receive focd and gasoline supplies. This can be done on short notice, it was sald. Commander Byrd, who returned yesterday from Virginia, sald he Was pleasantly surprised to find pub- lic opinion still was in favor of his flight as being of value to aviation. He said he could understand this ap- preciation from technically interest- ed in the aclentific side of flying, but had rot expected the same in- terest from the general public. Byrd said he had received many requests for a place in the America, most of the applications coming from young women. “They write charming letters,” he said. “All of them are very nice.

The same condition prevailed on the west coast, where Washington ruled during the same period as o rowing institution ‘with a system and the man power that couldn't be beat- en. Washnigton and Yale were ad- mitted to be rulers of the water, but the eastern and western champions pever met, as Yale prefxrs a four- ‘mile race with Harvard o the inter- ,collegiate championship regatta at Washington. ‘While it might have been argued that-Yale was no better in 1924 than Washington, Yale got the assignment to wear the American shield in the Paris Olympic races and won the championship from some of the best crews in the world. It was more than a shock then when a Drinccton crew that was bardly regarded as much after losing to Massachusetts Tech gave the mighty Yale varsity a bLeating on the Princeton home waters. It was just as much a surprise ‘n the east when California gave Washington a fine licking in the coast champion- ship race. It may not have been a surprise in California but the east was betting on Washington simply because it was a Washington crew. Yale rowing men explained the up- set by Princeton as being the result of a long distance crew in a short race on dead water, but Harvard men are running around quietly grabbing all the money offered that Yale will win the annual race this year.
