three strokes, and was realized only
after he had outshot Jones over the
final nine holes. Both made the

Franklin Stadium, Kenilworth.
1t will be recalled by fistic fans
that both Flnnegan and Ward have
locked horns with Garcia and have
more than held their own.
Both are anxious to get the
army battler back in the ring
again, and each will be in there

Not only has 1t been a great
rarity for college oarsman to
make the varsity during his frs.
year. but for a long time. It has
been out of the question on account
of the freshman rule. This rule IL

It will also be remembered that

Der Of races during the season by
a college crew has been a growth
of recent years. Yale and Harvard
formerly made up their season with
their annual race. and the Naval
Academy set the pace of rowing
four or more races during a season.
This fact Is additional indication
that no other oarsman has taken
part In so many as twenty four
races.
This is the complete record of
the races In which Sanborn has
rowed as a member OF the Naval
Academy varsity crew:

In this series of twenty.four big
races. the crews of which Sanborn
was a member lost but two. The
seasons of 1919 and 1922, his first
and last. were without blemish.
In 1920. Syracuse won in the first
race, but lost twice after, and In
1921, the Naval Academy dropped
an early season race to Princeton
on Lake Cdrtfegie.
One of the incidental distinctions
of Sanborn Is that he was a mem.

that which holds the world record
for three miles, as we'll as the
record for the Poughkeepsie course.
The first record was made In
