knows what we are here for We are
out to get Princeton's scalp--and it
looks a biz RS IL we might land It," terse
and to the point this expressive state
ment came this evening from Dick Glen
don. coach OF the Navy crew. as he made
his way into the Weld boathouse after
following his husky eight over the course
which tomorrow Is TO be the scene Of
it's efforts against the varsities from
Princeton and Harvard.
Unless we are greatly mistaken, the
midshipmen will leave the Charles River
Basin tomorrow with that much sought
Tiger war lock. We formed that i'm
preston before seeing the three crews
in action, and II was strengthened by
our observations on the rain driven
course this evening. The Navy, with
seven men who won at Poughkeepsie last
year and four who won the world cham
pionship at Brussels in 1920-rowing in
the very shell in which they pulled to
triumph in the Olympics and on the
Hudson--combined power. polish and
supreme confidence in workout which
was decidedly impressive.
In spite OF the downpour. fog and a
mean nor-easter, all three varsity eight Is
showed up In splendid form. Harvard
surprised US greatly, and Princeton was
everything advance reports from Mas
sau had declared the Orange crew to be.
But there was the undeniable stamp OF
wlat is known as class all over the
crew from Annapolis--"class' which
would have demanded recognition even
IL 1t had not had that splendid back
ground of reputation. As result we
believe the Navy the favcrite-almost a
prohibitive favorite-xnot only in the big
race, but in the freshman event as well.
A Preliminary Race.
There will be no contest for Junior
varsities tomorrow. However. there
will be a. third race on the Charles
though not in conjunction with the tri-
angular regatta. As a cocktail the
Massachusetts, Tech varsity will engage
the Union Boat Club eight az further
their race with Columbia on the Harlem
on May 20. The Tech-Union race will
be started at 4 80 p. NJ.
The big varsity race will be rowed at
$3.50 p NJ. and the freshman contest
half an hour earlier. over course of
a mile and seven-eighths. from the Cot
tage Farm Bridge down stream to the
Union Boat Club-a straightaway stretci.
without tidal influence
Drawings for the varsity seemed to
favor the Navy. which got the mid
stream lane. with Harvard on the Ros-
ton side and Princeton on the course
nearest the Cambridge shore. Harvards
lane is considered the worst under any
conditions, while the Tigers lane may
have some advantages IL the wind
comes from the northwest-and It NAV
blow that way after the storm.
Fair Weather Predicted.
THE outlook this evening was dis
couraging. but the weather man issued
the pleasant prediction that by to-mor-
row the skies would be blue, with a
warm sun beating down TO make ideal
regatta conditions.
In the drawings for the Freshman
race the Navy got the Boston side. with
Harvard on the Cambridge shore and
Princeton. considered the least formid-
able. in the middle lane.
W. lnnis Forbes of Penn will act as
referee OF the regatta while Robin
son OF Yale will be the neutral Judge.
The other judges will be +. #. Baldwin
OF Harvard. Lawrence Lstchfield of the
Navy and G. ]. Cooke OF Princeton.
IN expressing a strong desire for
Prince:on's scalp Glendon issued com
posite statement for the entire Annap-
oils delegation. Last season. it will be
recollected, the Navy's world champion
eight which later rowed TO g glorious
triumph on the Hudson. suffered a sur
prisins set back at the hands of the
Tigers on Lake Carnegie. Princeton
won homeric battle by half length.
The Varsity Crews.

row tomorrow. the Navy crew was

ley: No. 7, w. L. Lee No. s. D. II.
