An unDrOken StrlnS or victories ne>
seem brighter, from a midwinter vi
other varsity eights.
It was super-crew that Richard
Glendon turned loose on the rowing
world last year, giant eight whose
greatest difficulty was controlling its

through the graduation of 1921, which
means that the boat remains practical
ly intact. The missing member of the
combination that rowed away from
Cornell. Pennsylvania, California,
Syracuse and Columbia in the inter.
collegiate championship at Poughkeep
sic on June % last is Moore, who
rowed at No 4.
The latest news from Annapolis in
dicates that an unusually large sand
husky squad will turn out this week to
begin work on the indoor machines,
and Dick Glendon is not expected to
have any great difficulty in selecting
an oarsman who can replace Moore
without detracting from the power of
the she'll. Fifty frst-year men are al
the supervision of Young Dick" Glen
don, and they are said to be an unusu-
ally promising lot. "Old Dick" Glen
don, the head coach and maritime mir
acle man of the academy, is expected
to arrive next week, and will immedi-
ately take active charge of the varsity
material.
Has Large Squad at Disposal
Glendons preparatory work is easy
compared with that which faces the
other varsity coaches. He has seven
eighths of a seasoned and experienced
championship crew at his disposal be-
fore he starts, and the rest should be
simple.
1921 who are still available are Cal

Lee. No. Z; Frawley. stroke; Clark,
coxswan. OF these, Gallagher, King,
Sanborn, Johnston and Clark were
members Of the famous Navy crew
that went to Antwerp in 1920 and won
the Olympic championship, defeating
the best crews in the world. Bolles,
Lee and Frawley, regulars last season,
were substitutes in the Olympic com
bination.
Clyde King, who comes from Iowa,
stroked the Olympic crew and rowed
No. 8 in last years boat. He played
tackle on the Navy football team that
defeated the Army at the Polo Grounds
on November 26, and is captain of this
years crew.
From the foregoing it is plain that
in the important matter of experienced
material the Navy will enter the 1922
campaign with an overwhelming advan-
tage. All of these battle SCARED vet
Grams, with the exception of Bolles,
will graduate next June, which will
leave Dick Glendon rather fiat for
1928, but for the approaching campaig gn

Probably the greatest point in Glen
don's favor at present is the fact that
he will have the giant Z. r. Frawley.
stroke of last years crew, about whom
to build up his 1922 combination. There
is small chance that Frawley will be
displaced 1T stroke, as his work last
season was exceedingly satisfactory
and showed marked improvement be-
tween the date of the Navy's defeat at
the hands of Princeton on Lake Car
negie and the intercollegiate regatta at
Poughkeepsie. He should be finished
carsman this year.
Youngest Man on Crew
Frawley is twenty-five years old,
weighs 1872 pounds and stands a trfe
over six feet in height. He was the
youngest man in last years boat.
An effort has been made to widen
the scope of the Navys rowing sched-
this move will meet with success
Whether it does or does not, the mid
shipmen are delighted over the fact
that they have been given permission
10 go to Cambridge on May to COM
pete against Princeton, their hated
rival, and Harvard on the Charles
River. The crew is also to take part
in the Henleys, where it will again be
given an opportunity Of meeting the
Tigers.
There is considerable doubt just now
as to whether the boys from the
Severn will be given permission to
compete at Poughkeepsie in the in
tercollegiates. but this same difficulty
was overcome last year, and it is gen
orally hoped that the authorities at
Annapolis viii stretch a point again
This season and allow Glendon's men
to take part.
The opposition to the Navy COM
pcting at Poughkeepsie is based on the
fact that the regatta, coming late in
June, causes the members of the crew
TO miss part of the annual cruise
Last year the oarsmen were compelled
to join their ships at various European
ports. The showing the eight makes in
its regular campaign probably will
have q great deal to do with the action
of the naval authorities in connection
with the Poughkecpsie regatta.
The rowing squads of practically all
the universities will begin this week

Rrodil Alone Sure Of Job
OF these men Franklin Brodil. the
husky and hard working stroke, is the
one man who is sure of his job The
miserable showing of the Blue and
White combination at Poughkeepsie
after a brilliant season of spectacular
victories. leads one to believe that
there will be radical changes in Co.
lumbia's boating this year.
The collapse of the crew at Pough.
keepsie is now generally attributed tc
fatal weakness in the middle of the
boat, and one Of Jim Rice's aims this
spring will be to find a remedy fol-
this. The remedy may mean number
of new faces in the varsity lineup.
