FIRST TIME IN HISTORY OF RAC
ING THAT PACIFIC COAST
CREW WINS VICTORY
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 29.—
The University of Washington crew
won the dual intercollegiate regatta
yesterday, by a length and a half; the
navy crew being second, and Colum
bia U. third, all by about the same
distance apart. This Is the first time
in the history of racing that a Pa
cific coast team has won the regatta.
The race w'as the more remarkable
from the fact that Dow Walling, the
Washington stroke^ had a broken
knee, and for the three days previ
ous to the race it was feared that he
could not row. At the conclusion of
the race Walling collapsed and was
taken into a launch where he was
given surgical attention.
The time for the three miles was
14 minutes 3 1-5 seconds.
Cornell won the Freshman race,
with the Washington Freshmen crew
second; Syracuse won the Junior
race.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y„ June 29.—
Don Grant, coxswain champion of the
Washington University crew was
elected captain of the 1924 eight at a
luncheon given here today to the
new intercollegiate champions.
