COLUMBIA CREW REGATTA WINNER New Yorkers Row o Maguill- cent Triumph at Poughkeepsie Peughkeepsie, N. Y., June 25 (P— Columbla is the gem of the inter- collegiate ocean after the roughest and most disastrous naval battle in the history of the Poughkeepsic regatta. Down through four turbulent miles last evening the sons of little old New York rewed to magnificeat triumph for the second time 1n three years, capturing the varsity champlonship of America. In their dazsling wake were strewn the shat- tered hopes of four of Columbia's eight rivals, chief among them the proud Golden Bears of Californid, champions of the world until this fateful race. 014 man river went on a rampage for the crowning classic of the 1929 rowing season, kicking up a dis- turbance that wrecked the fortunes of all but five of the record fleet of nine eight-oared shells entered in the race for varsity championship honors. ‘What was forecast as the greatest of all college regattas was turned into a knockdown and drag out bat- tle with the old man, who spared neither champions, nor favorites nor trailers a8 he swamped one boat after another. Above all the turmoil, the tragedy and startling events of a dusky eve- ning, Columbia stood out supreme, overcoming all obstacles to beat a gallant Washington crew by three lengths. The water logged huskies from the Pacific northwest, as game a boatload as ever rowed, yielded to the mastery of New York's marvel- ous oarsmen, but in turn they were eight lengths ahead of another sur- prise boat, Pennsylvania. The ‘Quakers came up out of the choppy séas to beat Navy as other crafc sank. The Middies saved fourth place. Wisconsin was fitth and last. Three of the four crews that were swamped met their downfall in the last mile, as Syracuse, then Culi- fornia and finally Cornell yleldsd the struggie and escaped from shells that sank -below the waves, Cornell did not quit until its slim, fragile craft had broken in two. It sank, & wreck to the bottom, but the others ‘were saved. The fourth victim of old man river was Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, making its bow in the big |time competition on the Hudson. |The engineers from Cambrid Mass., shipping water by the bucke! ful from the start, were forced to abanden ship just before the two mile mark was reached. Nothing like this debacle has ever before been witnessed in college rowihg competition anywhere, ol- thaugh there have been many stormy days here as well as at such places as Lake Cayuga and the Charles river., .Back in the dim days, Penn- sylvania twice was swamped and Syracuse once. Penn at other times encountered bad racing luck but last night the Quakers rose gallantly to the oc- casion to make their best finish since Rusty Callow came from Washing- ton to direct their fortunes. The feur crews that were elim- inated in this hestic struggle occu- pied four of the five lanes farthast from the west bank of the Hudson, out toward the middle of the river where the scas were roughest and toughest. Cornell was at No. 5 position, California at No. 6, M. I. T. at No. 8 and Syracuse at No. 0. Right in the middle of this quartet in No. 7 lane; was Columbia.

Columbia met and conquered the same obstacles that overthrew the two crews picked to give the Ncw Yorkers their severest test. Cali- fornia and Cernell. Columbia, ship- ping some but not so much water, rowed with magnificent precision, with superb confidence and skiliful oarsmanship under conditions , that first upset and then doomed the other favorites, Guided smartly by Coxswain Bothe Berman and stroked beautifully by 168 pound Alastair MacBain, the Columbians proved themselves champions in every sense of the word. It's an old saying on the turf that a good -horse is good in any kind of going. Columbta proved last night it is good in any kind of water. In the victorious Columbia boat { were four oarsmen and the coxswain of the boatload that first restored | the New Yorkers to rowing heights as freshmen in 1926. That year they won the title race for yearlings. As sophomores they captured the var- sity from Washington in 1927, jast year, as juniors, they bowed to the great California Bears by less than a length in a record smashing race, Now these survivors have helpad gain the third triumph for Columbia in four years and add to the lustre of the Glendon record. The defending champions, were never better than fifth and never factors In the big race from the start until they finally sank five | eighths of a mile from the finish. Washington, after forcing a dizzy early pace with the Navy, alone dis- puted the final mile with Columbia, | content in the first three miles to| lay off the pace and bide its time. Probably these tactics by Columbia were as decisive as the factor of heavy seas, for the Columbians had |all the power and drive they needed for the big finish at a time when | Washington, its own shell well filled | with water, appeared somewhat tir- ed. From a margin of only six feet entering the third mile, Colum- bia increased its margin to thrve lengths over the Huskles. Exasperating false starts, mishaps and the lateneas’ of some crews in reaching the starting positions cowm bined to wreck the regatta sched delaying exactly an hour the get- away of the varsity race which, had it been on time, would have been rowed in much better water. Two false starts in the freshman race, one in the “Jayvee” contest and two more in the lineup of the big varsity field cost 4¢3 minutes of wasted time, It was dusk when the big fleet finally got away and dark when they finished. With mishaps in the last mile crowding upon each other so fust viewing the regatta from shorss, boats and observation train cars knew what was happening beyond ithe fact that Columbia won.
