American champion. This is | revealed by a gpmparison of his times |here and” in' previous competition abroad. The Italian likes the longer dis-| | tances best, a fact he demonstratad this week when he broke into the rec- ord-breaking class by setting new world indoor marks for 5 and & miles and 10,000 meters. His time for the 10,000 meters was 45:50 4-5. He won the 10.000-meter title last year at Parls in 47:49, while in 1920, in Ant- werp, his winning' mark was 48:06 1-5. Frigerio has never shown the speed of George Goulding, famous Cana- dian; Rasmussen. the Danish star. or Plant. His Olympic triumphs, while decisive, were scored chiefly at the ex- pense of mediocre talent. HOCKEY GAMES At Princeton—Princeton, nell, 2. At Boston—Ynle, Tech, 0.

It was clear, not too hot, with a slight breeze blowing down stream with the | current, smooth water and generally The crews lined up fust conditions. trom the west shore, Syracuse, Columbia, Washington, Cornell, Navy and Pennsylvania. After a false start all crews got off perfectly, Corneil going into the lead and maintaining it until about e mile, when the Navy took the lead. Cornell clung to the Navy for @ time. Then, as they began to drop back, it looked as if the Navy would win and the other crews, which were fairly well bunched, would have a fine fight for second place. At that moment the Washington crew commenced to raise its stroke and change the entire situ- ation. They were rowing very evenly, more so than the Navy, and between the mile-and-a-half and the two-and- a-halt marks they picked up the Navy, and at that point started a sprint which carried them ahead The Navy then started their mighty | sprint to overhaul Washington and for a quarter of a mile there was a cetrific struggle, which was the real thrill of the race. The Washington crew was row- ing about 36 strokes to the minute and the Navy Tt 1y seem- ed posasible that the Navy could maintain thix terrific strake pace with which they set out to overtake Washington.

Local colleges have done littlé in Spring foot ball. Last year Georgetown got out a squad in order that Coach Lou Little might know what he would have to work with in the Fall, but barring that, prac- tically no attention has been pald to the development of the sport as far pring workouts are concerned.
