Several crews of the Potomac Boat
! Club will go into extensive training.
beginning this week. Candidates for
! the senior, junior and intermediate
,, eights, and the senior and junior
squads have been called out by Capt.
Bob Duncan. If the weather is un-
favorable on the river. the candidates
will indulge in a marathon up to
Chain Bridge and return to the
showers.
Plans are being made to send sew
eral crews to the first regatta, which
is to take place on the Harlem River,
New York city, Decoration Day,
under the auspices of the New York
Rowing Association.
1t is possible for the Potomacs to
enter an intermediate eight, senior
squad, senior doubles, and association
singles Champion Bob Duncan Is
not eligible to enter the association
singles. which only includes those
who have never annexed a title.
Hutterly and Dorsett, who have
rowed together in the doubles for
the past sevral years will again
pair among the membership that can
wallop them, they will probably be
sent to the regatta on May 30. The
entries from the local club will all
depend on whether they are in prime
condition and can make the required
test as to time. No man who rowed
on any of the crews last season has
cinched his job for the coming re-
gattas.
Heretofore a waterman who had
made a place on one of the crews
in previous years, took it for grant
ed that he had his job cinched.
Not SO this season, according to
Captain Duncan, who is authority
for the statement that any athlete
who desires to try out will be given
his chance to develop. and IL he
makes good will be given consid-
Grafton when the final selections are
made.

HARVARD IS AIMING
At PENN CARNIVAL
Coach Bingham's Athletes
Working Hard in Hopes
of Landing Title.

PHILADELPHIA, April 11.-Har-
ward University is coming down in
greater force for the PennsyIvania
Relay Carnival than II has for sew
eral years. The Crimson will have
a team in the spring medley on Fri
day, April 90, and quartet in the
one-mile relay championship on Sat-
urdsy, April 30. Coach Bingham has
been working very hard to develop a
good track team this year and he
has had over 200 men out daily. Tho
material for the teams is very good
Gourdin, who was second in the in
tercollegiate championship hundred,
will run one OF the furlongs with
Evens or Howard running the other.
Chute. Wharton or Dougherty will
run the quarter-mile with O'Connell
ex-intercollegiate one-mile champion
running the half-mile in the relay.
This should be very fast team as
three of these runners-Gourdin,
Chute and O'Connell-are really first
class material.
The one-mile team will probably
be composed of Chute, Wharton.
Dougherty, Gordon or Quinn. This
team will run against the French
collegiate team in addition to como
OF the fastest quartets that have
ever been seen at the carnival
The mile relay team will have to
show Improvement over their pre-
r.ous form to be in the running, but
the medley team should make q
great bid for honors.
Harvard will also have several men
in the special events. The best of
these are Harwood for the pole vault
and Gourdin for the broad jump. Har-
wood tied for second in the intercol-
legiate vault last year and he has
been clearing II feet inches recent
fly in practice with ease. He will
meet Jenne of Washington State Col
lege, who is favorite for the event,
as the latter has done 13 feet IL
inches.
Pennsylvania in the broad jump at
the intercollegiate championships
last year. He has a record of 20 feet
6 inches. This is further than any
other jumper entered has done, but
there are so many men in the event
that have done over % feet that 1t is
sure to take a very good performance
to win the contest. On his record
Gourdin should be favorite for it.
The Franklin Field track will be in
the finest kind OF shape this season
A new surface was put on last fall
| and this has now been thoroughly
worked into the track. Coach Robert
son hopes to have a record-breaking
| track ready for the high-class men
who will be found in the sprints,
hurdles and the relay championships.

thereafter Britton and Lewis boxed
two more bouts in a row. Altogether
they have met about twenty times,
and as a rule Britton has had the
shade. In 1917. however, Lewis got
back his title by winning over Jack,
only to have Britton regain 1t March
II. 1919. with a nine-round knockout
at Canton. Ohio.
Britton has marvellous boxing form.
He is not regarded as a hard puncher,
but he is always hitting the other
fellow. He has a left-hand delivery
which old timers declare is one Of the
best the ring has ever seen.
When he Is not working in q gym
nasium or on the road, you can gen.
orally find Britton at home with his
family. He has two children, Robert
and William, and the champions chief
recreation is playing with the
youngsters.
Mrs. Britton takes the keenest
interest in her husbands condition
ing. and while he is in training she
supervises his diet. II is her opinion
that her husband can remain champion
until he decides to quit.
The Washington times., 1921-04-11

Britton has saved his money. and
saved plenty of IL. He married a fine
girl. and together they have estab-
lished a home in which they are rear
ing their small brood. Britton's wife
has been his first lieutenant and
years OF his career.
YOUNG IN AGE, OLD IN RING. =
Britton is no longer a young man.
as youth goes in the ring. though he
Is young enough as the rest OF the
world regards age. He is thirty-six.
At thirty-six a man has to take more
care of himself that when he is
twenty-six. If he is a professional
boxer. like Brtton, a. man at thirty
six has to take twice as much care as
a man In other walks of life.
Britton not long ago met Ted (Kid)
Lewis, the Englishman, in a fifteen
round battle which involved the title
of welterweight champion of the
world. 1t was a fifteen-round affair.
well calculated to try the stamina of
veteran, but Britton game through
with flying colors.
In appearance Brirton does not sug-
gest his age at all. BY no stretch of
as the old man that Fistiana rates
time.
JACK MARRIED YOUNG.
Lucky for Britton that he married
young and got a home, and kept away
from the life OF late hours and hap
hazard eating that SO many fighters
lead.
He has seen a couple Of generations
of fighters come and go. A dozen
champions have passed along. He be-
gan as a professional sixteen years
ago and has lost few decisions in all
that time.
Britton was born October IL. 1885.
at Clinton, N. Y, but ne was around
Chicago so long that he is frequently
introduced as "of Chicago" His right
name is William J. Breslin. Jack
Brittop is a name adopted for pro-
fessional purposes.
Britton began as a lightweight and
for years was regarded as one OF the
cleverest men in that division. He
was always just a bit heavier than a
legitimate lightweight. but in those
days Packy Mcfarland and several
others were cheating the scales.
Among these several was Ted-Kid
Lewis, the Englishman, then under
the management OF James J. Johnson.
Lewis couldn't have made the light
weight limit OF 133 pounds ringside
by cutting of a leg, and there seemed
no chance of him ever getting a crack
at the lightweight title.
RESURRECTED TITLE.
One day, sitting In his office with a
number OF newspaper friends, John
son conceived the idea OF resurrecting
the welter title, which had lapsed,
more or less, and claiming II for
n nx.rse l,t a 4. .t,,sx
OF flourish, and no one took excep-
tion to the claim, but who bobbed up
one day looking for a match with the
appointed champion but Britton.
Jacks manager, Danny Morgan. had
probably noted the publicity attained
by Lewis's man through the claim
and grew a bit envious. Anyway
Britton and Lewis met, and to the
great chagrin of'Bewis and Johnson
the Morgan entry won.
This was in 1919. and Immediately
