IN; TAkESLOOK OVER
NAVY W-ROWING MATERIAL

Richard A. Glendon. who for twenty
years coached the Naval Academy
crews. is not likely to coach another
aggregation. according to a statement
which he made yesterday he is here
for week. advising with his son
Richard j. Glendon. who succeeded

ed warm welcome by the midship-
men and officers attached to the naval
station.
Glendon was considering the offers
of a number of the big rowing col
leges after he left the Naval Academy
but in every case he would have been
called upon to try TO develop a crew
to heat that OF the Navy.
Il just could not do it," said the
veteran. "I have too strong a feeling
for my old charges and the old Severn
TO bring crew to il to row against
the Navy. 1t may appear sentimental
but that's the way feel about it,
Money could not influence me in a

this years prospects in spite of the
graduation of seven of last years

material from which his son must
