LAKE QUINSIGAMOND. Worcester,
Mass, July 24.-The navy will repre-
sent the United States in the rowing
regatta of the seventh Olympiad on
the barge canal at Antwerp. The var
sity crew of the Naval Academy, COM
peting against the most powerful col
lege and club Fights of the country
to-day in the combined Olympic try
outs and national championship regatta,
left in its wake after hard russell the
crack crews of Syracuse University
and Duluth Boat Club, which finished
in that order.
The Annapolis midshipmen had as
serted in no uncertain strokes the
right Of the Navy to carry the colors
of the United States when Uncle Sam
goes afoat in int rnational athletic
competitions.
With the navy eight there will go to
Antwerp Jack" Kelly, again the ma
tional champion in single sculls, who,
paired with his cousin, Paul V. Cos
tello,, fellow member of the Vesper
Boat Club, of Philadelphia, gained q
double claim to Olympic honors by
winning the senior doubles title.
PennSyivanlanS Make Good
The Pennsylvania Barge Club quar-
tet, of Philadelphia, unexpected win
ners yesterday of the intermediate
four-oared she'll race, to-day gained
place in the Olympiad by four-length
four and the Century quartet, of St.
Louis, last years champions.
The Pennsylvania men had not rowed
in a she'll until two weeks ago, but
they applied to the lighter craft in ma
tional competition to-day the compel
ling strokes with which they had gained
river success in their wall-sided gig.
The race for senior Fights was
rowed over a course flattened by rains
which interfered with earlier events,
but which was still lined by thousands
ed by the struggle for triple honors,
Olympic selection, national title and
the intercollegiate championship. The
varsity Fights of Annapolis and of
Syracuse had defeated all college
Fights but each other during the sea-
son, and with victory each, in their
two meetings, rowed it off to-day.
Duluth Boat Clubs first crew sought
to cut in for the national and Olympic
honors and were first away. In field
of six starters these three crews early
utiHUjLStTdtSO CHdI Tue Winter lay
among them After its slow getaway
Navy stepped up it's beat from "a to
SO and had gone ahead at the half-mile
by few feet, with Duluth close
astern, and Syracuse, rowing a we'll
feathered stroke, only few feet be-
hind.
Middies Lead at Mile
Coxswain Clark, veritable mid
shipmate in the guiding seat of the
navy she'll, gave the Annapolis rowers
the words which stroke King trans
lated into a higher stroke and the
Navy, rowing SO to the minute, passed
the mile mark with an open water ad-
vantage. Astern, Syracuse and Duluth
fought hard, matching each other high
stroke for high stroke to the exhorta-
tons of their coxswains in an effort
to catch the men o. the navy.
But the mldshipmen were not to be
overtaken. They held their advantage
when they eased off on their stroke,
running it down to 80 long, but power
full strokes, to the minute, in the last
600 yards.
The cadets finished with seven feet
of open water in addition to the
length of their boat as the margin of
their victory over Syracuse, in second
place, whose boat was partly Tapped
by the Duluth crews final effort.
The Annapolis second crew, which
yesterday won the intermediate eight
Dared race, was the leader of the sec
end group; with Duluth's second crew
fifth, and the Norton Boat Club, of
Worcester, sixth. The time of the
winning crew, minutes 20 seconds,
was the fastest ever rowed on the mile
and one-quarter course here. but be-
hind the record for the national cham
pionship event.
