NNAPOLIS, June 10.—Little has been heard from the Naval Academy “grad” crew, which has been working here for the past two months for the purposc of making a determined effort to represent the United States in the Olympics at-Paris. However, things have been shaping up as well as could be expected, and the veterans of the great Naval have been steadily improving under Academy crews of the past few years the tutelage of Richard A. Glendon, long the rowing coach at the academy, and under whom they all were instructed in the art place in Philadelphia Friday and Sat Apparently, the Navy's chance of representing this country on the water again rests largely in_the hands of the veterans, While Navy Athletes are notable for their indom table spirit and ability to show im- provement in form, the decisive de- feat by Pennsylvania makes it look as if the academy crew is unlikely to take first honors in the Olympic try- 5. “Grads” Well Qunlified. Qualifications of the “grads" hardly be questioned. Of the ten who have been working under «ilendon, four were members of the crew of 1920 Olympic champions and holders of the world record for 2,000 .meter: Six, including three of the 1920 oar: men. were members of the 1622 Naval Academy crew, holder of the re for the Poughkeepsie regatta and t best performance recorded at any time for the three-mile distance It thus will be seen that the state- ment that the present crew is the Olympic light revived is inaccurate, It is, in fact, more of a revival of the 1922 crew, which was a stronger and more experienced outfit, while its members have had a shorter break in_their rowing. can Six of the ten are assured places in the final boating, unl something unforeseen happens. These are 2. Graves (captain); Harris: 4, gin Sanborn: 6, Boll stroke. Frawley.

Men in Good Trim. Of course, the ads” suffer to some extent by giving up the routine &t the academy. the regular eating sleeping and exercise. These have been big factors of the success of academy crews and athletic teams. Still they have kept in good condi- tion and have apparently gotten into | excellent trim. Certain ing form appears to be desired. Excepting Sanborn, who, however, is very strong and rugged, all of them are at about the weight as when they rowed as midshipmen. Except for an early brush with Massachusetts Te ile the latter was here for i vith the Naval Academy, the “grads’ have had no tests, so they will have to venture all on the resuit of the meeting with the strongest crews in the country at the Olympic try-outs at Philadelph, CENTRAL HIGH CREW PLANS FOR REGATTA Central High's crew is busi paring for its big event of 1 Philadelphia on July 4, when it will eompete in People’s regatta on the Schuylkill. The Blue and White will put forth its main efforts in the funior eight event over the mile and one-quarter course, although Coach Hecox expects his athletes to display their wares in other rac With several weeks of practice be- hind it, the Central crew now is in good shape and the chances are that it will give a good account of itself. their row- pre- 24 in Should it do as well at Philadel- phia, Coach Hecox probably will enter it in the national regatta to be held in August at Springfield, Mass Coach Hecox has trained five local erews that have won the junior eight event in the People’s regatta. Most of his talent was mustered from Tech High in 1912-13-14 and 1915 Some of tha crack’ crews in the vieinity of Philadelphia are to be matched against Central. Boat clubs afiliated with Columbia University also plan to be represented. The Victorfous eight in the junior eight will receive gold watches, donated by the city of Phil .delphi Central's ctew has advanced rapidly this year. A speed boat has been used for the first time, together with iwo eightoared shells. The talent at the Mount Pleasant institution has been especially good. Virginia Boat Club will be the op- ponent of Central in a practice race on Jupe 21 at Richmond. Hecox is coach of both crews. He will select his_Philadelphia crew on the result of the Richmond races.
