NAVY WOULD BLEND
SYSTEMS IN ROWING

The development OF a better stroke
than has ever been used by any col
lege crew by combination of the best
elements in those used by the Naval
Academy and the University of Wash
ington, is the hope of the Naval
people, based on the arrangement
made with Robert s. Butler, former
oarsman and assistant coach at Wash
ington, and the conferences which he
is expected to have with those who
understand the system of rowing IN
vogue at the Academy.
The Naval Academy and the Uni
versity of Washington stand out as
the great developers of rowing sys-
TENS in recent years.
Yale also occupies a high place, but
entirely through the adoption of the
Washington stroke and system
through Leader, an oarsman of the
latter institution.
The Naval Academy and Washing
ton have been the only winners at
Poughkeepsie during the last years.
the former on three occasions and
the latter on two. Under these cir
cumstances, they stand out as the
leaders in collegiate rowing and the
best points of the system at both
places, If they could be combined and
drilled into a crew, should make II
the greatest that has ever represented
college.
While there will be no interference
with Butler in the style of rowing he
wishes to teach, yet 1t is anticipa ted
that he will not overlook the fact
that the Naval Academy has pro-
gressed in rowing to a high degree
itself and that it may not do to ignore
this and introduce an entirely new
system.

Nishimura, Japanese long g-distance
swimmer, abandoned his attempt to
swim the English Channel today after
being in the water only 2 hours
minutes.
Setsu Nishimura. said to be the
champion long-distance swimmer of
Japan, has attracted attention in
England since his arrival there in
June by the unusual diet he has fol-
lowed in training for his attempt TO
swim the English Channel.
He ate only vegetables and eggs
instead of the usual heavy heat pro
ducing food favored by most channel
swimmers. Nishimura's diet regimen
recalled that of Paavo Nurmi, the
great Finnish distance runner, who
conditions himself on smoked fish and
rye bread

BROOKLINE, Mass, August 2S.-
Gerald Patterson and John b. Hawkes.
of the Australian Davis cup team
reached the final round of the national
doubles championship yesterday at
Longwood
Playing in faultless form and strok-

Today Vincent Richards of New

holders, in the other semi-final. The
Eastern combination is favored to win
this match, and in the event they do
the final round will take on a Davis

Richards and Williams are being
considered as one of the teams to play
the challenge round doubles match on
the defending team, while Patterson
and Hawkes. are likely to be the com

In the British amateur champion
ship of 1921 such a shot was extreme
ly vital in my winning the champion
ship. 1t was a play so unusual that
no rules of technic could aid one in

DDS to meet the emergency.
The play came up in the semi-fnals
against f. W. f. Holderness, who be-
came amateur champion the following
year. | always say that it won me the
1921 title, because Holderness was a
much harder opponent than the man

ham.
Going to the eighth hole, I was one
up on Holderness, but playing through
it it looked very much as though I
was to lose my slight lead. After sat
isfactory drives my opponent placed
his second on the green, but mine
went 25 yards past the pin.
Now just back of the eighth hole
was a house and surrounding this
house was a fence. When my ball
finally came to rest it lay not more
than two inches from the fence.
