legiate champion and No. in the ma
tional ranking, on the United States
Davis Cup tennis squad.
The United States Lawn Tennis

NAVY CREW PRINTING
FOR HUDSON REGATTA

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 1.-THE
pairing here for the Poughkeepsie
regatta, did not get its 4-mile time
trial today, as had been expected,
and has not yet gone the full dis
lance at q fast clip.
Coach Bob Butler decided that, in
view of the hot spell and some Ian
guidness on the part of several of his
charges, it would be better to post
pone the test of fast miles.
Butler hopes 10 try the full dis
lance by Wednesday, and it will be
the only trial of the kind at Annap-
oils. 1t is likely that the crew will
go over the course once or twice
on the Hudson.
The squad, consisting of varsity
and plebe crews, will leave Annap-
oils next Sunday for Poughkeepsie.
AS the Navy crews do not generally
work out on Sunday, no day will be
lost from practice.
The plebe crew has been working
in fine shape during the practice here
and is considered to have an excel
lent chance of winning its race.
The varsity is showing great
smoothness and form in it's work,
but has not yet displayed the eX-
pected power. However. a big i'm
proVement is expected shortly.
The crews were on the water for
a short time this morning and for
a longer workout this afternoon, the
practice being held late in order to
avoid the heat.
