Cornell Crew
'HeavyChoiceir
IRA tomorrow

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June is Up.
Rusty Callow of Navy has
proven himself a fine prophet
as well as great rowing coach.
Two years ago when Nays
1852 Olympic champions wound
up a fabulous college career with
a third straight triumph in the
intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
ton regatta. Rusty pointed to
Cornell's winning freshmen and
said, "There is the crew of the
future"
AS sophomores last year, the
Cornell oarsmen lived up to CAL
lows prediction by breezing to
victory over previously unde-
feated Pennsylvania.
Favored by IL Coaches
Today this same band is the
overwhelming choice to make it
two straight in the 3-mile varsity
race on Onondaga Lake tomor-
row.
A poll of the IL varsity coaches
showed IL for the junior-dom
mated crew from Cayuga Lake.
Ky Ebright of California split his
ballot between Washington. the
second choice, and Cornell be-
cause he has not seen the Big
Red in action this season.
Princeton, which turned in a
sensational time trial of 1921
last Saturday for the 8 miles,
was made the third choice. For
comparison purposes on the
Tigers performance note that
Cornell won in 15.49.9 last year.
lOf course. water and wind con-
lditions must be considered.
Up From FrOsh
The Cornell eight includes six
members plus Coxswain Carl
lSchwarZ Of the fine frosh outfit
Iof 1854.
Probably when Callow singled
out the Cornell yearlings for
future greatness, he little real
lied that this same crew might
be matched against his stored
bladesmen. But whether Cor
nell wins or loses tomorrow
that's likely to happen in the
Olympic tryout finals.
The 1852 Olympic champions,
said by Callow to be ''as good as
they ever were" are rated a
good chance to become the first
United States Olympic eight to
get a second crack at the rest
Iof the worlds best.
