"a coach of rowing at the
Naval Academy, arrived in
Annapolis this week and went to
work Immediately with the candi-
dates for the crews for the COM
ing season. AS in the past, Glen

varsity and junior varsity crews.
Buck Walsh, first assistant, will have
charge Of the plebe crews and Lieut..
Sherman Clark, coxSwain Of the 1920
Olympic champion crew, will handle the
15o-pounders.
One Of the features Of the past year
has been the increase in interest IN the
light crews, and the squads, Of both
upper classmen and plsbes, are much
larger than at any previous time.
For the first time, the crew candi-
dates will use for their Winter practice
the tanks of the new boat house, which
are connected with an arm of the
Severn River and give the oarsmen the
benefit Of pulling In live water.
Senior Material Fine.
The material for the senior boats IS
excellent, the squad having lost but
three members Of the varsity and junior
varsity crews. Capt Pieczentkowski,
No. Z, Of the varsity, and Westhofen,
stroke, Of the junior varsity, have
graduated, and Jung, No S, Of the
varsity. though sim in the Academy,
has rowed three seasons and is ineligible.
The members Of last years varsity
who are still in the Academy are:
Schoeni. bow; Kiehlbauch, 2; Gray, g.;
Jewett, 4; Hunter. 6. and Shelton,
stroke. Those Of the junior varsity are:
Quirk, bow; Carpenter. 2; Rhares, g.;

follows, will be available for the varsity:
Mlnroe, bow; Wendt, 2; Klinsman, 3;
Easton, 4: Weeks, 5; Anderson, 6;
Phillips, Z, and Peterson, stroke. Ander-
son, weighing over 100 pounds, seems to
be the strongest member Of this aggre-
CATION, while several others appear to
have the makings Of varsity oarsmen.
Shelton probably viii start as varsity
stroke. He rowed IN the varsity boat
for the first time last season, and occu-
pied the seat at stroke for the latter
part Of the season. He Is well qualified
physically for the job.
