Coach Glendon was not particularly en-
thusiastic over the crew, although he SAID
he hoped TO show what they could do AT
four miles. as well at two. From his
general tone 1t might be believed that his
men were hardly expected to go whole
mile.
When asked il 1t was not true that
Annapolis had had more rowing than most
of the other colleges he said that he did
not believe that to be true. He said that
from April 81 on for about month the
oarsmen were unable to average four days
a week OF rowing. Glendon was greatly IN
terested in the other crews, and asked lot
of questions about them.
The Georgetown crew crossed the river
IN the early morning to get out their shell.
After 1t had been carried across the river
the men came back to get the launch out.
II was rolled out carrier, but the
wheels of that buckled. and 1t took a long
time before they eventually got the launch
down to the water. They took 1t to the
ferry slip and had the landing stage low
cred so that the launch could be sent down
through that.
