EXPECT TO MAKE
ROWING HISTORY
Pennsylvania Coach Looks
for Many Close Races.

Fred Spuhn, coach of the University
of Pennsylvania crews, expects 1927
TO be productive of the best rowing
season in many years From reports
and information he has received from
coast to coast he believes that close
races will be the rule rather than the
exception this season.
While Spuhn has not waxed enthu-
slastic over his own prospects, he ex-
poets Pennsylvania TO play a major
part In making rowing history. Huge
squads have reported for rowing In
virtually every institution, with Penn
sylvania standing among the foremost
with over 400 prospective oarsmen.
columbia will prove one of the
strongest crews in the East this year
or miss my guess" said Spuhn. '.The
Giend0ns got their system working
last year and with the experiences
gained then and the fact that the I'M
beaten freshman eight returns intact.

will be troublesome.

pect the Naval academy to turn out
championship eight It's showing last
season Is Indicative Of what 1t will
DO this year and last year the MiddIes
swept, to victory at Poughkeepsle.
Harvard under Brown Is going to
be a real contender in all its races
while Yale, strong last season, can be
expected to again be among the fore
most crews. Princeton is bound to I'm
prove under the able coaching OF Logg
while Syracuse which beat us out for
iGird place in the intercollegiate re-
satta, Will be up In front again.
From far-off Washington | have
received reports that Rusty Callow
has another great crew In the making.
He should defeat California again
this year and come East with an
other title contender. Wisconsin hopes
to develop crew that will be real
contender on the Hudson"
Pennsylvania will meet Its first test
OF the season on April so when 1t
meets the Naval academy on the
Severn river. This race is a hard as
signment for any crew for its first
regatta, but Spuhn believes that Penn

Runner From Chicago Is
Latest Track Sensation

The sensational running of Leo
Lermond, the Boston youngster, In the
special tw0-mile race at the Fordham
university winter games, calls to mind
the fact that the Middle West is
boasting of a lad who has bobbed up
from nowhere to join the ranks of
those who are clamoring at the thresh-
old of athletic fame-Joe Sivak of the
Illinois Athletic club.
Chicagos track sharps are hailing
Sivak as "a second Joie Ray" and not
without reason, for the new trl-color
star, who seems to be at his best
around the mile distance, turned eight
furlongs in the startling time of 4 min
utes Is seconds in his first race In A.
A. U. competition early last year.
Since that time Sivak has improved
consistently, his latest achievement be-
ing the feat of knocking full minute
off of Joie Rays record in big cross
country race in Chicago
Sivak is farmer boy. He laid the
foundation for his prowess on the
track by running long distances on
Wisconsin roads.

President Little Would

Two varsity teams for each Big Ten
school, with enc eleven playing out

from the same school at home on the
same day, Is proposed by President
Clarence C. Little of the University
of Michigan.
Under the plan one Michigan varsity
team, for example, would play at Min
nesOta the same day that Minnesota
varsity team played at Ann Arbor,

Doctor Little holds that change in

varsity teams would offer greater foot

students, and the same coaching staff
would handle both teams.
