Bennington Boy Wants 1t Understood
He Still Is With the Great
ORGANIZATION.

One of the Bennington boys who
has done his Bit and who is still
at it is Harold H. Bottum Who went
to France months ago with the Red

item to the effect that the Red Cross

Paris.
Thinking that some Of his friends
might be led to believe that he wal
no longer with the organization

Navy Eight First in Ameri-
can Henley-Penn
Second.

Philadelphia, May s1.-Naval
Academy annexed the undisputed
collegiate championship of America
today when they gracefully slid
their fraiI craft over the Schuylkill
River in the American Henley re-
Satta here today.
As the boats lined up for the
start. Navy held the middle posi-
tion with Syracuse in lane No. 1 and
Pennsylvania in No. 3. Syracuse
got way to a good start. but WAS
soon overtaken by Navy and Penn.
Up to the three-quarter mark
Penn held the advantage. but the
powerful. rhythmic strokes of the
big Navy crew forged their shell to
the front. 1t was a close race. but
they were never headed and when a
sprint was called for Penn was left
behind by a length and q quarter.
The time was minutes and 35
seconds
TIE Junior Collegiate race was also
a triumph for Navy. For the greater
part of the distance Princeton held
the lead. but quailed under the greater
endurance of the Naval Academy
crew
Syracuse freshmen surprised by
nosing out Yale in the collegiate
freshmen event in s minutes a Sec
onds. The Navy crew broke an oar
at the start of this event. and later
was disqualified for fouling.
A gallant sprint by Penn in the spe-
cial eight-oared shells Q5O-pouno
crews) fell short. and Naval Academy
won in minutes 4-5 seconds.
One of the largest crowds to wit
ness an event on the Schuylkill
turned out today and lined both
banks of the Henley course of one
mile and fve-sixteenths
