crews, will leave Annapolis for Poush-

the last Of the college nayies to dip
their oars in the waters of the Hud-

water until Thursday, there will be
only five days of practice there be-
fore the races on June 16.
However, practice was kept up on
the Severn during June week and for
several days there have been morning
and afternoon sessions. The Navy and
Pennsylvania crews generally are
rated as the hopes Of the East in the
Hudson regatta. In IL mile race
at Annapolis Penn won over the Navy
by q foot, but its considerably lighter
crew may be handicapped IN the
grueling 4-mile contest.
Ned Mclean has been substituted
for Jim Gray at No. 5 In the varsity
boat, Gray taking Henry Swift's place
as stroke of the Jayvees. Mclean
weighs 100 pounds to Gray's ITS, so
the change increases the average
weight of the varsity by nearly 2
pounds. Mclean was q regular varsity
man last year, but dropped to the
