Those tall tinberS from the
Northwest have everything from
power and rhythm to intestinal
fortitude, and that's about all
there is in the oarSman'S book.
For the first time in the modern
history of rowing, one college
swept the river at Poughkeepsie
yesterday, and that college is
Washington.
Take All HOnOrS
The Huskies nosed out Califor'
MIA and Navy in the Freshman
race; they walked away from Navy
and Cornell in the Jayvee event,
and they put on a garrison finish
to take the varsity blue ribbon
from California and Navy.
The cognoscenti may point out
to you that the Olympic route is
only about a mile and a quarter
and not the 4-mile pull Of the
Poughkeepsie regatta.
They may also tell you that at
a mile and half the Huskies were
far in the ruck. But this is like
saying Man O. War was laying
off the pace until the head Of the
stretch.
No sprint in this Washington
crew? Say, they showed more
sprint in the last mile than the

Comeback Road
Seen Difficult
For Louis
By DAVIS J. WALSH
international NetDS SerUice
Sports Editor.)

NEW YORK, June 23.-In all
the frantic TRADE by the sport
writing craft against Joe Louis
for having basely betrayed it into
admiring him, I have noted no
mention yet Of a conclusion so
basic and fundamental that, to
me, it stands alone. It is that
Louis, in losing a single fight to
Max Schmeling by knockout, is
lost forever as a first rate fighter.
In his own eyes, he stands de-
stroyed, demolished, wiped out as
a character he could never have
really believed in himself. He may
come back, but I venture to pre-
dict that it will never again be as
far as the top.
Good Men Before
Good men have been knocked
out before, and, in seeing it done
you instinctlvely knew that, spirit
ually and physically, the last chip
hadn't been spent. Berlenbach
was practically beheaded that first
time by Jack Delaney, but as ]
saw this crude and clumsy novice
struggle back to his feet, only to
fall over unconscious, I knew that
here was raw ruggednesS and cour'
age that, of necessity, we would
be looking at again and again as
time went on.
The contrast with the Louis we
gaped at, astounded, on Friday
last was painful. He was debated
by the first hard punch. He took
to hitting low and then trying
to capitalize on Schmeling's dis.
tress. To every practical purpose,
he chucked it just a bit in the
twelfth round.
Worse, therefore, than the fact
that he can't take a punching is
that he won't.
Louis Surprises
I wasn't greatly surprised by
Schmeling. Indeed, I sat with Joe
Jacobs two nights before the fight
and helped plan the Germans at
tack, even to the crossing Of that
right over Louis extended left.
The man who surprised me was
Louis.
