COFFEE RACE SATURDAY Must Battle Harvard and Penn Before Going After Huskies ‘ By RICHARD H. ELLIOTT ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 20.—The Navy varsity crew, conqueror of Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and Syracuse, must meet the challenge of Pennsylvania and Harvard in the Adams cup race here tomorrow te : el win the eastern sprint championship the east Pough- and become the hope of against western crews at keepsie. Coach Charles S. (Buck) Walsn has shifted his veteran oarsmen and increased the weight of his boa., but insists he is not letting dreams of Poughkeepsie fame interfere with training for the Adams cup. “Right now our crew, down to the last man, is trying to win the Adams | cup race, the only test that stands between Navy and the eastern sprint championship,” he says. “We are not considering Poughkeepsie now. We haven't rowed above 1% yet. “For many years we prepared for Poughkeepsie only to have our plans shattered by the June week graduation break in training. This year we are not preparing for Poughkeepsie until after June week. We want that sprint cham- pionship.” Walsh has the eight oarsmen who pulled the 4-mile Poughkeep- sie course last summer, when Navy finished second to Washington. In 1936, also, Navy led eastern crews n the intercollegiate test, finish- ing third behind Washington anc California. The present Navy varsity seats four of the oarsmen who pulled in the 1937 boat, G. A. Whiteside, A. B. Yeates, F. W. Kittler and G. C. Bullarc) T. J. Walker, Neal Almgren and F. W. Brown are up from last year's jayvee boat, undefeated in the astern races, and second to Wash- ington at Poughkeepsie. I. G. Pe- ters came up from the plebe boat. The other four Poughkeepsie var- sity veterans—P. G. Schultz, V. E Schumacher, L. P. Spear and J. L Erickson—are rowing with the jun- ior varsity. The rearrangement boosted the varsity weight to a 177-pound av- erage, a factor of vital importance in the long 4-mile Poughkeepsie pull. After the Princeton race, Walsh shifted Walker, who stroked last year's jayvee boat, from var- sity stroke to the bow, and moved all his oarsmen back a seaf, mak- ling Almgren, 6 feet 2 inches tall and 18¢ pounds in weight, the stroke. Almgren strokes from the starboard side of the shell. “I increased the weight of the boat in order to meet the long Navy rowing season and a hard scheduled,” Walsh explains. “The shift in stroke was made to change the ballast of the boat. Later there may be some way to go back to the seating with Walker at stroke.” GETS FIRST ONE-HITTER CLEVELAND MBV 20. — Yflun? Bob Feller of Cleveland was the| first pitcher to toss a one-hit game this season. He shut out the St. Louis Browns 9-0 in the second game of the year. Billy Sullivan’s scratch hit kept Bob from entering the hall of rame with a no-hitter. e First Game Jinx Brips N. Y. Yanks NEW YORK, May 20.—The New York Yankees can win pennants but it seems they can’t cop opening day games.
