ANNAFOA4O, Way "a. - In
view Of the small opportunity
afforded the Naval Academy
elew to show it's strength this
season, it's race today at Anna
polls against Syracuse will be
the, first real test of, the sue
cessor to the Olympic champions
Of 1920.
The Naval Academy is again
ambitious to represent the Unitet!
States in the olympics, this year
ct Paris. Its crew is coached by
Richard ]. Glendon, son of Rich.
ard A. Glendon, who developed
The. championship crew Of 1920
The season started auspiciOusly,
but circumstances have made ii
impossible for the crew to demon
Ftrate what ability it possesses.
The visit Of the Syracuse squad
has been anticipated with much
interest. Coach Ten Eyck Is always
% be watched when he brings a
crew to Annapolis and has some.
times slipped it over on the Navy.
Except for the Glendons he knows
the Severn course better than any
other coach, having preceded the
elder Glendon here. He always
brings his charges down in plenty
Of time and gets them thoroughly
acquainted with the course.
Up to the meeting, the expe.
Fience Of both crews consists Of q
race against Massachusetts, Tech.
Both crews won. the Navy quite
decisively, though, Tech had not
yet found itself, and Syracuse BY

victory over Cornell indicates that
II Is by no means . weak antag.
Onist this season.
The race scheduled for three
weeks ago between the Naval
Academy and Princeton had to be
called off on account of bad weather,
and the Navy was not able to Sc
cure another date. Apparently this
meant little, however, as Princeton's
showing against Yale indicates that
q Is very weak this season.
Syracuse has frequently in former
seasons, given the Navy its first
zeal test. 1t will be recalled that
Syracuse won from the Navy in
1920, in the first race, at Annapolis,
but was defeated in the Henleys
and, again. in the Olympic tryouts,
BY the Navy. Thus, Syracuse Is
held in wholesome regard here.
The Syracuse party, consisting of
varsity, Junior varsity and fresh.
men crews, arrived in Annapolis
Thursday. They were under charge
OF their veteran coach, James Ten
Eyck. and Will remain here until
the middle of next week when they
will make UP a party with the
Philadelphia for the American Hen.
Soys on Saturday.
1t Is probable that the SYRIA
euSe varsity will have an in.
formal brush or two with the
Naval Academy ''grad' crew,
which is working out here under
the elder GlendOn. This crew,
composed Of veterans Of the last
few Naval Academy crews, IS an
extremely powerful aggregation
and its members have not forgot.
ten how to handle a sweep. The
one thing lacking is q test against
another crew, and Il Is hoped
that Il will be able to get it
through the visit Of the SYRIA
eUsans.

Academy crews:

The general verdict around the
navy lighthouses 10 that the varsity

this year. The plebe eight Is also
considered well above the average.
For some reason. the second eight,

Today's race Is one of the signi-
ficant aquatic contests of the sea

the honor Of representing the United
States at Paris, and the result of
the VARSITY contest will do much
toward indicating whether or not

make such an honor a possibility.
