Oarsmen

Childs Cup. Four exquisitely-timed Columbia crews beat Princeton last week on brown-bottomed Lake Carnegie in the Childs Cup regatta. Pennsylvania rowed too, came in last in every race but the 150-lb. class, in which no Penn crew was entered. Columbia, having won every race this season, is, with possible exception of Cornell, the East's best bet for intercollegiate honors in June, when potent oarsmen from Washington and California will row on the Hudson.

Reds. The Charles River was too rough last fortnight for red-jerseyed Harvard oarsmen to row red-jerseyed M. I. T. men. So last week the M. I. T. men joined a red-jerseyed Cornell crew in outrowing Harvard. Cornell, unhurried, finished first. Harvard, however, won the junior varsity race when Cornellian Bate, No. 6, snapped his oar.

Navy it. Syracuse. Navy's swart little Coxswain Rivero barked cheerily to his crew at Annapolis last week and the crew answered by finishing five lengths ahead of panting Syracuse.
