Tomorrow's regatta will be the second time in three years when these varsity crews have gone into the Adams Cup race undefeated. Navy, current holder of the 19-year-old cup, has romped through all opposition this spring and set a record over the two mile Lake Onondaga course...
Although there were nine other varsity crews in the championship race, the majority of the crowd of 18,000 which lined the banks of Lake Onondaga had eyes only for Navy and Washington. At the referee's shout of "Ready all . . . Row!", Navy spurted off at 40 strokes a minute. The fast start gave Navy a slim lead over Washington at the half-mile mark.

Four days later, the largest flotilla of shells ever to compete in one regatta-32 in all-lined up on Lake Onondaga, N.Y. for the 2,000-meter Eastern sprint championships for varsity, junior varsity and freshmen. With the traditional coach's gloom, Tom Bolles said: "In a short race, some egg beater might win." But when the six varsity finalists (Pennsylvania, Navy, Cornell, Yale, Princeton and Harvard) got off the mark, it was clear that no egg beater was going to steal the race...
