Fifty-eight Crews Will
Clash i'm This Weeks
National Regatta.
ARGONAUTS MISSING
AFTER MANY YEARS
Dibble to Have Only Two Rivals
for Sculling Honors-List
of Entries.

Fifty-eight crews will take part in the
national regatta TO be held on the Con-
necticut River at Springfield on Friday
and Saturday of this week. Il will be the
forty-third regatta held under the au-
spices of the National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen, and the entry list,
which is one of the largest that has
ever been received, was announced by
Fred r. Fortmeyer, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, yesterday.
For the first time in many years the
Argonaut Rowing Club will not have
crew in the senior eight-oared she'll
race, and the four crews that will pad
die TO the starting line for what is
considered the chief event of the re-
gatta are the Duluth Boat Club, twice
holders of the championship, the At
lantic Boat Club of Springfield, Mass,
the Rockrimmon Boat and Canoe Club
of Springfield, Mass, and the Undine
Barge Club Of Philadelphia.
Although the Argonauts won the
Canadian championship on Saturday
they decided not to come across the
border. In fact, there will be fewer
Canadians in the regatta than ever
before, doubtless because of the great
number of active oarsmen who have
been called to the battle front. One
Of the post entries was that of Robert
Dibble, of the Don Rowing Club of
Toronto, who entered the championship
singles.
Dibble will have only two opponents
in the race for the premier sculling
honors, W. NJ Hoover, of the Duluth
Boat Club, and John F. Kelly, of the
Vesper Boat Club of Philadelphia Tom
Rooney, the Ravenswood sculler, will
be content to try his luck only in the
senior single sculls.
The Duluth club will be represented
in each Of the thirteen races on the
card and will have the largest delega-
tion Of oarsmen at the regatta. There
are more Western crews in the regatta
than in any other year that it has been
held IN the East.
