POUGHKEEKSIE. June 26.—-Just as
regularly as Christmas. boat race
week rolls around for Poughkeepsie
folks each year. but with the passing
of the years there seems to be less
interest on the part of the townsfolk
with the prospect. therefore that tho
Intercollegiate regatta of Thursday of
this week may well be the last» that
will be rowed over the now classic
Poughkeepsie-Highland course.
It is not that Poughkepsie and tin-
Hudson Valley do not appreciate the
regatta. but they take no pains to
show their appreciation. and each
year the so-called commercial features
of the big race are becoming more
and more pronounced until at last
there is a definite movement on foot
to transfer the regatta and all its in-
cidental trimming: to the water of
Seneca Lake . t Geneva.
But what may happen another year
is of little moment Just now. when the
W‘ashington. Navy. Cornell, Columbia.
Syracuse and Pennsylvania crews are
putting on that last necessary bit of
polish'on their crews for the race on
which the highest prize in the country
depends.
\Vashington and Navy. the crews
which fought it out to a brilliant fin-
ish last season are again the favored
ones with the old line of crews. the
four have been coming here year in
and year out for more than twenty
years. looked upon as possible if not
probable contenders.
The general average of all six
crews in the varsity race seems to be
well above the average. for although
there is no crew standing out with
the brilliance that maked the Navy
last year. yet at the same time there
is no combination quite ragged as the
Penn crew of a year ago or as slugg-
ish as the Columbia eight of 1322.
Washington and the Navy, each
with an unbeaten crew. from the ex-
ueme opposite sides of the continent.
receive the greatest amount of pop-
ular attention.
The Navy eight comes down to the
big race with victories over Pennsyl-
vania. Syracuse. Princeton and litr-
vard to its credit. while Washington.
champions of the Pacific coast, have
defeated Californa over the full threa-
mile course. and besirdes win a. hol-
low victory over the buwersty at \\'is-
consin at two and a half miles.
Each of the other crews in the
race has tasted defeat. Columbia and
Cornell at the hands of Yale. Syria-‘tis‘
a'. the hands of Cornell and l‘:<r.ns,vl»
vsnia by the Navy. Cornell. Columbia
and Yale.
Early season victories or defeats
are forgotten. however. in the thick
of the fight over the three-mile course
in the big race of the year. and there
has been sufficient time for some of
the beaten crews of the earlier season
to have recuperated and fought their
way into the highest grouping.
Syracuse has a crew of this type
and so has Columbia. while the. Penn.
varsity has made really great strides
since its arrival here. and will go into
th big race confident of being able to
hold its own in spite of lack of
weight and brawn, two factors which
aid much in the gruelling demands
of the long threeomiie course.
During the regatta. the course will
be patrolled by the United States
Coast Guard Service. according to
Norton G. Bo'gue. chairman of the in-
tercollegiate Rowing Association. The
regulations which will govern the con-
ditions on the Hudson River are:
1. 0n the day of the regatta all
visiting yachts and excursion boats
.will be given positions to the eastward
of the established easterly line of the
course in the order of arrival and ap-
plication. Small yachts and boats will
be given positions in front of larger
craft. No vessels will be allowed to
anchor to the westward of the course.
2. All visiting vessels 'must be an-
chored in their assigned positions one
hour before the start of the first race.
and there after until the finish of the
last race of the day. no vessel will be
allowed on the course. excepting inc

"competing crews and other official

a. All vessels of the merchant mar-
