ANNAPOLIS, Md May 49,
After two years ofcontinnaa victoS5s
Glendon's Annapolis varsity crew
lost this afternoon by seven feet of
distance and less than second of
time to the Syracuse eight. coached
by James A. Ten Eyck. who cigh-
teen years ago was succeeded by
Glendon at the Naval Academy.
The SyTacusians, always dangerous,
delighted the hearts of their mentor
by putting it over the Navy crew
this afternoon. and the mascot of
the occasion is the bride of the
veteran coach, brought to Annap-
oils for the occasion and seeing
her first college boat race today.
Only partial comfort is afforded bv
the fact that the Navy second crew
won its race, almost a counterpart OF
the main contest, the official time be-
ing also four-fifths of second diff
ference. Conditions were exception
al. and never have finer races been
rowed by any crews than those of to-
day. Winners and losers gave all they
had every moment of the race.
Varsity crews-Syracuse, 10 min
utes 20 Is seconds: Naval Academy.
10 minutes 81 seconds.
Second crews-Naval Academy. 10
minutes 81 IS seconds: Syracuse, 10
minutes 3S Is seconds.
Rows With Great Power.
Rowing generally at thirty-eight
strokes to the minute, to the Nayys
forty. but with unlooked-for power
and smoothness, the Syracuse eight
took a lead OF a length in the first
half of the varsity event. From that
point. the Navy crew. fighting grimiy
and running the stroke as high as
forty-two. gained distance. and had
cut the lead to seven feet as the line
was crossed.
The workmanship OF both crews
ina of both sets of oarsmen was not
to be excelled. While there has been
some feeling here that the foxy old
fellow from Syracuse had something
up his sleeve, the blow was hard one
for the Navy contingent. but they are
eomforted by the fact that there will
be another chance against the same
crew at the Henley in Philadelphia
two weeks from today. The contest
or the second crews, which was the
first event. though in slightly slower
time. was as fine in its class as the big
event. nc HluSHlpInen gained nalt
length in the first third of the race,
were overhauled to some extent at the
two-thirds point and held at a few
feet difference for the balance of the
course. The visitors made desperate
efforts within a hundred yards Of the
end.
Illness Of Jordan. No. 8 in the var
sity boat, caused a shift just before
the race. Lee was moved from the
second boat, and Jackson. No. 3 of
the plebe eight, took his place. There
was no advantage in the course. both
losing crews having chosen their own
water.
