Navy Crew Is Second Choice to Washington : Stars Developed on Pl&yground POWER OF HUSKIES EXPECTED 10 TELL Not So Smooth as Middies or Columbia, but Physical Equipment Greater. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 26.—The biggest megatta in the annals of American col- lege rowing drew a record throng to the bamks of the Hud- son here today. Knute Rockne turned up from South Bend, n?puently in greatly improved health, and accompa- nied by Jack Chevigny, one of his right-hand men and ormer stars “Rock” unhesitatingly picked Wash- ington to win the varsity tussle, while at the same time admitting that his sport is foot ball and that he does not pass as an expert when it comes to shoveling water. But there were plenty, including as- sorted experts, who were willing to string along with the sage and philoso- pher of Notre Dame and pick the tow- ering crew from the Far Northwest to crash through for the first time since 1926. The odds on Wl.lhlngwn short- ened to something like 2 to 3 sgainst the field. The position of second favorite was held by the Navy, while Columbia and California also were regarded highly. Really Are Huskies. Neither of the Pacific Coast crews was rated quite up to the Navy and Columbia eights, coached by the Glen- dons, father and son, when it comes to smoothness of rowing form, but many felt that Washington’s greater power ‘would be enough to win. Such s well qualified observer as Rusty Callow, present Pennlylvlnh mentor and coach of the last Wi ton Varsity to win here, said that the Seattle institution probably had turned out a good many crews that were pret- tier to watch, but none with the mar- velous physical equipment of the pres- ent varsity array.

We are told to swing through from inside the Jine in order to properly hit a golf ball. Miss Helen Hicks, judging by the sketches here shown of her bringing her club from the top of the backswing half way down, follows that theory. Few question that it is sound. The best pros agree that one should so swing every club for every shot with the exception of the cut and ex- plosion from sand. You must come into the ball from jnside the line and go on out through it. It is a sweeping of ball mlthefioeornum ‘The big idea is to sweep the clubhead on out after the ball.

SCENE OF TRAINING OF CLARK, SOTHERN Players Now Performing for| Braves and Phillies Are Notable Products. HOST of athletes who re- ceived their early training on the District playgrounds have gone on to attain the heights in different sports, but doubtless the most conspicuous of these are Earl Clark and Denmny Sothern, outfielders, respectively, with the Boston Braves and Phil- adelphia Nationals. Both got all their diamond training until they were 16 years old on the play- rounds here. One holds a major eague record and the other has equaled one. Clark holds the big league record for most putouts made by an outfielder in one game, having made a dozen. Soth- ren socked four doubles in one game to equal a mark for the major leagues. Clark Versatile Athlete. Of the two, Clark is best known for playground athletic activities. Not only did he shine on the diamond, but was a brilliant performer in both soc- cer and track and fleld.
