The historic Poughkeepsie Regatta, top collegiate rowing event in America since the 1890s, became the Marietta Regatta today. The board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association decided to abandon the traditional Hudson River course and hold the 1S50 championship three-mile test on the Ohio River at Marietta, June 17. Indications were that a return to Poughkeepsie in the future is unlikely. The principal factors which led to the change, the stewards' announcement said, were the absence of tides and currents on the Ohio River and the availability of an ob fattest qualifying time in both the first round and the semi-finals 23.1.

That tied last year's winning mark. Ohio State scored a one-two triumph in the 150-yard backstroke tonight.
