In 193¢ Harvard won the fresh. man and junior varsity centests. In 1937 the Crimson, coached for the first time by Ed Brown, upset Yale's winning streak in the varsity race. Otherwise it has been all Yale. The Elis have swept the regatta five times in seven years. Their varsity record now shows eight triumphs in !the last nine geasons. Yale won yes |terday in the two mile freshman race by three quarters of a length and the two mile junior varsity by ' four lengths. The varsity race over the four miles course upstream saw the Eli varsity gain an early lead, add to it with monotonous regularity until it reached fully six lengths and then ease up in the last half mile as Harvard chopped a length and a hait from this margin. Keep On to Harvard Camp Not content with crushing their rivals, the Elis, in a final gesture kept right on rowing after they passed the finish, not slackening their pace until they had gone an-| other half mile to Harvard's head- quarters at Red Top, There the Blua sweeps waited until the tired Crim- son boat load returned to receive a cheer from them and—as is the ancient custom—toas their shirta to the victors.

The lake is about one mile south of the cluster of fresh water springs from which Bacen brook originates..

SALZBURG DRESSES FOR BIG FESTIVAL Gity in Austrian Alps Will Be Goal of Many Tourists Washington, June 22 (M—8alz. burg Austria, is donning its gayest bib and tucker for the August fes- tival, when thousands of tourists will visit the city. Without festive attire, Salzburg is one of those Alpine beauty spots which lure artists and charm visit- ors, and which travel writers include among the picture towns of Europe. The town lies on both banks of the Salzach river, where it grace- fuly winds through a valley of beau- tiful vistas, framed in thickly wood- ed. snow capped mountains. Salzburg needs no Washington monument or Woolworth tower, the National Geographic society points out, for nature has endowed the town with two natural observation points—Monchsberg, rising 500 feet ahove the roof tops of the old town to the west and Kapuzinerberg. above the newer town across the river, in the opposite direction. Several miles above the town the Salzach emerges from a lofty moun- tain crevice. Toward Salzburg its banks are lined with fertile farm lands, which, from the two observa- tion points, resemble a huge natural checkerboard. Near the town the valley broad- ens and here and there, the steeples of white churches towering above clumps of trees, and groups of white houses, mark prosperous little rural communities. The Salzach at Salshurg flows he- iween two parkways with shaded drives and promenades. On the left bank a solid row of white buildings overlooks the parkway and river, while on the other side of the river, detached houses, sur- rounded by wide lawns, gardens and evergreens, are the rule. There rcally is no old town ex- cept by comparison with the new.

Salzburg cathedral, which copy of St. Petes at Rome, inates the old town. From its facade, one can throw a stone across one of the public squares in- to a smaller adjoining square which is adorned with a atatue of Mozart, who was a favorite son of this town. Two blocks from the square, the house in which the famous com- poser was born contains a collec- tion of souvenirs, portraits, manu- scripts, his piano and even a skull which some Salzburg guides would have travelers believe is that of the great composer. The inhabitants of newer hurg have spared no space to en- hance the beauty of their town.

Nair took Prosecut- ing Attorney J. G. Woods to task in one of the most critical arraign- ‘ments any defense counsel has given {the prosecuting ~attorney in some time. Mr. Waods accused Probesny. his wife.and daughter of deliberately lying on the witness stand, and de- . |clared he would not believe any part of their testimony, to which At- torney Nair retorted that the prose- lcuting attorney had no right what- lever to make such accusations ugainst any cilizen or anyone clse in court. “I believe Mr. Woods made his speech for the purpose of having it in the newspapers,” Attorncy Nalr declared “Simply because a per. son who comes into court on a 4 icharge cannct speak English as well a8 Mr. Woods c.n, is no reason why he should be called a liar and sub- jected to the abuse he has heaped on these pcople today.” Mr. Woods replied that Attorney Nair's contention that the case was one for the civil courts was “the last distressing cry of a man of this type.” referring to Probezny. If reckless driving cases were to he thrown into the civil courts for ac. tion the statute might just as well he repealed, he asserted.” “I repeat.” |tell the truth and if Mr. Murray had gone into South Main street as they said he did. he would been killed. T would believe Mr. them." “You're prejudiced.” Attorncy Nair said. “I'm not prejudiced,” Mr. Woods retorted. “Yes. you are,” Attorney Nair insisted. Judge Saxe found Probezny guilty and imposed a fine of $25 without costs. which was paid. The case was the outgrowth of a collision at the corner of South Main and Whiting streets in which cars driven by Probezny and Richard eged. Murray claimed he was driv- ing west on Whiting street and as he was about to enter 8outh Main to allow the other car to procead north on South Main street. Pro- bezny, one the other hand, claimed Murray's car was in motion and too close to the curb. Probezny, his wife and daughter. said their ecar was going 18 ‘or 20 miles on hour, but Murray and two witnesses, Louls Kohler and Edward Vanesse said it was going faster. Ofticers Kumm and Cabelus found brake marks on the pavement indi- cating that Probezny’s car had gone §2 feet with the brakes set and 17 feet after the collision. Attornev Nair contended that this was uo proof of excessive speed according to a chart prépared by scientific tests, Mr. Woods asserted that Probezny was as guilty as any person ever charged with reckless driving, and he did not bhelieve - he had ever measured the highway as he claim- ed to have done. “He and his wit- nesses came in here and violated their oath which is just as sacred here as though it was in superior court at Hartford.” he declared. A:- torney Nair said the case shquld not be in police court. as it was clearly one for the civil courts to decide. |Two Shot and Seven | Held in New Haven New Haven.
