SPORTS. CRIMSON HAS ONLY UNDEFEATED CREW Eli Off to Poor Start, but Shows Improvement in Practice Spins. BY WILLIAM R. KING, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW LONDON, Conn. June 18.—Harvard power is ex- pected to prevail over Yale - skill tomorrow night, when the varsity eights race on the ‘Thames River. Harvard will go to its stake boat as the only undefeated varsity in the country, chiefly because of Navy's unexpected victory at Poughkeepsie and the storm that ‘washed out Harvard’s quadrangu- lar brush with Cornell, Syracuse and M. L T. last month at Ithaca. Coach Charlie Whiteside’s crew may or may not be worthy of this distinction, but the claim that it is the best Har- vard eight that ever trained to race a Leader-coached Yale crew cannot be questioned. To date the Harvard varsity has come through two short race regattas undefeated and has beaten Navy, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Massa- chusétts Institute of Technology. Yale has trailed Oolumbia and Cornell, and its -preliminary season was the most unsuccessful one in years. ‘Yale Makes Fast Time. ‘While Whiteside has been able to kéep his crew, including Gerry Cassedy, the strongest stroke oar Harvard has had in a decade, intact since he brought them outdoors early this Spring, Coach Ed Leader of Yale has been often forced to shake up his varsity for dis- ¢iplinary and other reasons. Yale has been giving much more polished practice performances than its rival. Yale reeled off the fastest time trial of the current Thames season sev- eral days ago when it raced 4 miles down stream in 19 minutes 18 seconds. Harvard's best trial spin over the same course was 3 seconds slower, but Harvard's power appeared much mocre impressive than did Yale's perfect rhythm and skill. varsity 4-mile race and junior varsity and freshfmen rates are up- stream. Ready for Action. “Don’t waste any sympathy on that Yale varsity,” Whiteside warned. “It hu always been a créw and it shown improvement every day sxnee it_went into quarters at Gales’ It is going to be very difficult to beat. My crew has only been tested once this year, by Navy, but every man 48 in shape and to go.” Leader limited his pre-race remarks b the admission that every member of his squad was in excellent trim. ‘The Harvard junior varsity is favored to lead its Yale rivals over the 2-mile route, but the freshman eight, which has faltered badly all geason, does not appear to have any chance against the stalwart Yale youngsters. The varsity race is scheduled for 7 pm, standard time. LAUREL LOSES TRACKMEN | Clews, Outstanding Member of Team, One of Four to Go. LAUREL, Md., June 18.—Four mem- bers of the Laurel High School track graduation. One C. Gordon Clews, the winner in the recent County championship. Clews won the shotput m the coumy affair and fln!.lhad second in the State championship Beverly chhfld Everett Phelps and Donald Sargent are the three others to be lost. Howland ran on the 660-yard junior unlimited class medley relay team which won in the county meet and Phelps and Sargent were on the 1,640-yard unlimited medley relay team. Billy Gray, John Barker and Hal Lawson, other members of the 660-yard Junior unlimited medley relay team, are slated to return next season, as are Elwood Pisher, Bernard Dunn and Thomas _Haynes, sprinters; Robert Frazier, Robert Rohrabaugh, Burdette Phelps, David Oliver, Israel Kroop and Nelson Keeney, rglay performers, and Edgar Riedel, quarter-milgr. George M. Sullivan of the faculty coached the high school squad and also the Laurel Elementary School squad. Leading members of the elementary school group were Morris Kroop and Jack Beall, who won the speed ball bat for distance and the 115-pound broad jump in the county meet. Kroop :}m:d second in his event in the State ee Glenn Beall, Morris Dixon and Wen- ®él, also of the elementary school squad, scored in the county meet. 1010 Penna.

The entire crew had dr season this Sgflnl losing w columbh Harvard and acuse, Pondering ~ tness unhappy details at some length, this Navy bunoh suddenly decided to go out and win & boat race, odds or no odds, rain o shine, Corneli or Syracuse or Washington, sink or swim, upset or what not. And with a boatload of heart- aboard, this is ex- actly what tife Navy did against one of the strongest combinations of many years. After all, the Navy is supposed to have good crews. The Navy belongs on ths water. And here was Cornell fig- uring the race as good as won, and here were most of the experts picking Colum- bla, Syracuse or Washington to give Cornell the main trouble. The Navy? About sixth or seventh. Capt. Schoeni, Stroke Hunter and Ycung Anderson, 19 years old, were talking it over. They were entirely too modest to furnish many intimate de- tails, but they admitted they were fresh at the finish and were not worried in any way about Cornell’s final drive. 1t takes something to emerge from so many successive defeats to win from such company. Comdr. Red Reinecke put it, “there is more character in this Navy boat than I have ever known before among eight men.” Another answer is that the Navy had a far better crew than early records showed. And they had plenty of heart ~—too much to be depressed by several Big League Ball BY AL DEMAREE. (Former Pitcher, New York Giants.) A catcher has more duties than to simply squat behind the plate, give signs and be a stationary target for the pitcher. He should back up plays at first and third base. Many games are saved by a catcher retrieving & wild throw past the first baseman that. would have given the batter an extra base and allowed other runners to advance, if not score. When throwing off your mask on foul flies, always remember to toss it well out of your way. Hank Gowdy once lost & world series for the New York Giants by stepping on his mask and dropping a foul that would have retired the side.

You can give him this pleasure, by giving him Dutch Masters, for every Dutch Masters cigar is as fresh and full of flavor when it is lit, as it was at the moment it was made. The new “cold-treatment” process makes this possible. This unique new process takes a Dutch Masters cigar just as it comes from ‘the machine—just at the moment when the mellow tobaccos are at their Peak of Perfection . .. And then, by “Cold-Treating,” that new-made fra- grance and faste are sealed within the cigar itself! So between a Dnlch Masters and an ordinary cigar, there’s as much difference as there is between fresh fruit and dried fruit! Buy a box for Dad. And try one yourself—to-day.
