Who Won

P: Yale's undefeated varsity crew: the Carnegie Cup regatta; for the 11th year; leading all the way and finishing two lengths ahead of Cornell and six ahead of Princeton; in 10 min. 23.4 sec., the fastest two miles ever rowed on famed Lake Cayuga; at Ithaca, N. Y. Best previous time was 10:32 made by a Cornell crew in 1920.

P: Harvard's undefeated varsity crew: the Adams Cup regatta (named after one-time Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams); defeating Navy and Pennsylvania over 1 3/4 miles on the Severn; before a crowd of spectators that included Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt; at Annapolis, Md. Because it was Harvard's fourth short-distance victory in four weeks, having previously out-rowed Rutgers, Syracuse, Princeton, Cornell and M. I. T., experts rated Harvard the Eastern sprint champion, likely to beat Yale at four miles next month.

P: University of Michigan; the 38th annual Big Ten track & field championships; for the 16th year; with a total of 61 1/2 points to which Negro Bill Watson contributed most individually when he won the discus, shot-put and broad jump and placed third in the high jump; at Columbus, Ohio. Runner-up was Wisconsin with 37 points. Tailender was Northwestern with one.

P: Princeton's track team, undefeated in dual meets this year; the fourth annual Heptagonal meet (with Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Columbia, Penn), climax of the Ivy League season; scoring in 13 of the 15 events and winning four (half-mile, 440-yd. relay, broad jump, hammer throw) ; for a total of 59 1/4 points; before a crowd of 10,000; at Princeton, N. J. Cornell was second, Columbia third.

P: Helen Wills Moody: the women's singles of the Surrey tennis tournament, her second victory since arriving in England to try to win her eighth English championship at Wimbledon next month; defeating Margot Lumb, No. 10 in British ranking, in the final, 6-3, 6-4; at Surbiton, England. In both tournaments, Mrs. Moody lost only one set.

P: Mrs. Helen Holm of Scotland: the British women's golf championship for the second time; by defeating Elsie Corlett of England 4 & 3 in the final; at Burnham-on-Sea, England.
