cocky and arrogant as a bantam
rooster, will be hunched forward In
their seats this afternoon, hands
hauling rudder-ropes taut, mega
phones strapped to their mouths,
alert for the signal that starts the
climactic 4-mile varsity race in the
intercollegiate regatta.
From then on, all eyes will be on
the husky oarsmen pulling the
sweeps for California Cornell Wash
lngton, Navy, Columbia, Syracuse
and Wisconsin. But the seven lit
tie fellows, any one of whom would
make a good jockey for Johnstovn
will be in there doing their bit.
They are the coXWains of tr,N,
crews that will contest for the
championship won by Navy last
year. To the $4,000 spectators on
the observation train, the feet Of
pleasure boats and the river banks,
they merely are the boys who make

when the race is over. To the oars
men, they may mean the difference
between defeat and victory.

IT the California varsity, favorite
at 6 to S, returns the champion
ship to the West Coast for the sixth

his share. Though he's only feet 3
and weighs 122 pounds. the spunky
little Junior has been the leader of

1t will be his job to keep the
Bears in their outside No. 7 lane

with his stroke oar, Kirk Smith. on
raising the beat and how high to
raise 1t. Then it will be his Job to
give the crew the proper drive to
hit the finish line going away. When
it's over, it will be his job gracefully
to take the ducking that comes to

foot giants all season long.
