Not only xx-as a new lecoid for 'var

uinikable that the four leading tiexxs
In the lace each bioke the old iccoid
by many seconds. The race x-as lowed
In water that was phenomenally nel
vantageous and xvhllu this may have
helped the time, still It did not heem
to nhslst tlie freshmen, xxho towed
under almiwt the same conditions.
The varsity mce xvns the most ex
citing of the day, nlthough the other
two, with much unceitnlnty over the
xxinners, caused a Hurry. The fact
that Pentisj Ivanla had been picked as
(i sine winner of the four-oared event,
but that Cornell beat her out easily
xvhetteel the appetite of the thousands
upon the shoit nnd observation tialn
for the other contests.
The phenomenal feature of the races
Is that had not the Cornell freshmen
broken an our lock In the last half mile
Coinoll would tonight have thiee vlc
toiles to her ciedlt. Columbia Is hap
py tonight for her oarsmen have gone
up from a veiy bad last place to sec

giving the wlimeis a hard tight.
The vaislty elght-oaieil race xvas
one of the tieicost struggles exer xxll

any one eif the e-iews In tile lead haxe

the tall endets were ready to take
