Country Regatta not just ' By MARK GRIFFITH , Collegian Staff Writer . Fast-food fanatics may balk at the idea of paying $l,OOO for two McDonalds dinners, but eight-year-old Jeff Pifer of State College simply peeled ten $lOO bills off his wad of cash and kept right on spending. Jeff’s money was not real, of course. It was play money that he won at the gaming tables at yesterday’s second annual Sy Barash Country Regatta held at the .Stone Valley Recreational Area. fin fact, the Regatta was more than just some canoe races.

Music was provided in the early afternoon by the Phi Mu Alpha Jazz Band, which provided regatta-goers with their own renditions of popular, jazz and swing melodies. The regatta organizers followed their one-race-per hour schedule. With the 250- yard-long races limited to six canoes at a time, the blind fold, single and fraternity races were run with- two preliminary heats first, with the best performers advanced to a final heat. The third race of the day, the blindfold race, required . the participants to work in teams one meipber calling out' directions while the , blindfolded partner ' at tempted to keep, the canoe on course.'

The 3 p.m. celebrity race turned into an aquatic-style rumble when State College High School football and wrestling coach Ron Pifer, his own canoe capsized, turned over the canoe of Jeff Palmer and an unidentified partner, thereby allowing the team of Mimi Barash and Tom McLaughlin to win. Pifer’s partner was Matt Suhey of State College. The second heat of the singles race also provided plenty of aquatic antics when fellow canoeists attempted to rfesque the capsized Allan Cohen, who succeeded in capsizing two canoes-full of rescuers before a rowboat of regatta officials and the Stone Valley emergency boat arrived at the scene.

All the booths paid off in play money, which was used in turn to bid on various items. The items donated by Centre County merchants, were auctioned periodically. According to Mike Arkin, Regatta chairman, and Mitch Berger, Regatta publicity chairman, about 2,500 people attended. Berger said people began to come after they realized the weather was improving, “with the big rush homing' at about three o’clock.” The Regatta, along with collections taken by Beta Sigma-Beta and Kappa Delta in downtown State College for the past two weeks, earned slightly more than $2,000, which will be contributed to the American Cancer Society. a bunch of canoe races 1 Regatta results 1 Mixed couples (noon): 2.
