the Olympic championship. In fact,
nearly all the members Of the
present varsity have had two or
three years rowing experience.
The season will also beya crucial
one for Richard j. GlendOn, SON OF
Richard A. Glendon, for twenty.ope
years rowing coach at the academy
The senior Glendon brought the
Naval Academy crews to the sum
NIT of college rowing, capturing
Olympic honors in 1920 and Pough-
keepsie championships in 1921 and
1872.
When the younger GIendon
took charge, there was but one
regular Of 1922 left, and he had
to rebuild the navy crews. This
year, with q veteran aggregation
and much fine material in the
Junior boats, he had o splendid
chance to place himself among
the successful college rSwing
coaches.

crews at present Is:

Though the squad has not been
exempt from casualties, there have
been fewer setbacks than usual,
and the weather has permitted more
days on the water than have been
usual up to this point in the spring.
The squad as a whole Is in excel
lent physical condition, and every
member full OF determination to
make 1t a big rowing year for the
Navy.
The schedule of races this sea-
son is entirely satisfactory except
that there is no meeting with Yale.

this event should be the final test
Of collegiate supremacy for the
year. -.
The Navy racing seaSen opens
on April %, rowing against Mas
saclhusefts Tech made q good
showing last year, winning from
Syracuse, and should be strong
enough TO make the race q real
test for the Navy crew. Varsity

race
On. May 2 the Naval Academy

will be the triangular meeting OF
Syracuse, Harvard, and the Navy

always sends a strong crew to An
napoIfs and has slipped a victory
over on the midshipmen on some
occasions. Harvard has not been a
dangerous opponent in recent
years, but is struggling to get out
Of the trough.
