and began counting the rythmic chunks" Of Tonys paddle.
 "An even a." he answered after a minute, "just abotu good enough to beat California, Columbia or Syracuse" t.,
 "Tell him to step 1t up" said. Lets catch that gondoln just go- ing around the curve"
 Moch stuck his head back through the white curtain and yelled:
 "Get that beat up Tonyl Get t upl Let's get going"
 Tony didn't understand the words but he caught the meaning of the voice and immediately quickened his padding, The long black boat with the graceful sweeping prov started sliding swiftly across the water.
 q wish you guys minded as well, l" Moch said to Morris and Day, land then we wouldn't have had to go like hell in that final at Berlin. If I had had Tony in the bow seat or No. 2 we wouldn't have been two lengths behind with only few hundred meters to go."
 "Yeah," answered Day. "we won didn't we7 And we gave you a nice ride down the river. Must have been swell for you sitting so comfortable back there and watching tnc swans glide by."
 The gondola turned off the Grand Canal and glided into ono of the little narrow waterways. Moch started telling about the time in Berlin when one of the Washington oarsmen hit Q swan in tho seat of the pants during . practice run Even as he spoke of 1t q pigeon, wing hurt, fell Into the water Q few yards in front Of our gondola and started fluttering violently.
 "oet him, Tony" wo all yelled, and Tony with one great stroke swung the gondola to the side Of the bird and, rec:hing out, Scooped 1t up. A little farther along. he tossed it ashore with 6 "cluck. cluck- ing' that seemed to tell the bird to stay round St. Marks Square where he belonged and not try any long distance flights.
 Coming back to our starting place after more htan two hours in the canals, the Washington oarsmen found something in Tony to admire. It was his stamina. As he pulled Into the hotel. he showed not ono sign of fatigue. There wasn't even a drop of precipitation on his forehead.
 Maybe Al would like Tony after all," Moch said, "he looks az If he might be full of that Hast mile drive"
 "Yeah." said Morris, land don't forget he's been alone, He's been cox, No. i, 2, 3, {, s, 6, 2, and bow oil put together"
 Tony took 20 lire, erinncd once more, gave his mustaches a yank and moved out itno the canal.

Venice, Sept. i.--tUP)-"Tony If you rowed that way for us Al would take that paddle away from you and bash 1t over your head"
 Irony" from his stand, grinned and rubbed his fine set of mus taches. He had padded Americanoa about Venice before and this boat load was no different except that three of them wore big, blue sweat CTS with a golden w s" or, them.
 Tony didn't know 1t but the big "Chuck" Day, No. 2 man on the University crew which won the Olympic championship. And that his two fellow sweater wearers were Roger Morris, bow and Bop Moch, coxswain, of the same all-winning boatload. With the reporter, 6 tall dark, and sandstone red-headed chap from New York, they had chartered Tony and his gondola for the pur- pose of studying oarsmanship of the Venetian gondoliero.
 The Washington rowers found Tonys' technique-er--louSy shall I say. He hadn't stuck his paddle in the water 10 times before "Chuck" yelled to him the warning about how Al" Ulbrickson, their coach, would treat him if he even at- tempted to gain a geat in the husky shell, and Morris also didn't like the way Tony feathered his oars.
 He doesn't take it out of the water at all" Morris said. The Olympic bowman stood thIs as long as he could before he started yell- ing at the gondolier.
 Hey Tony" he called back, you're not feathering right. Get the blade out of the water. Put some wrist into it."
 Tony just erinned some more and continued the steady monotonous sweep which he had been employing Gas well as his father and grand father before him for the past 25 years.
 "What beats he using" asked Coxswain Moch.
 The little fellow closed his eyes
