Coach Richard Glendon, Jr. Richard Glendon, Jr., Columbia's head crew coach, was born in Boston, Mass., November 24th, 1895, and attended grammar school at that city. Prom there he moved to Chatham, Mass., where he gained his high school education. and then entered XVilmer and Chew's Preparatory School, at Annapolis. Dick, Jr., went to Burdet College in Boston, and while there worked on many activities which included four years of basketball, baseball and track as well as two years of football. In this time he gained, the captaincy of basket- ball twice, of baseball once, of track three times, and of foot- ball for one season. He also won the boxing championship in his weight for two years. Other than athletics, he was president of the Senior-Class, Editor and Illustrator of his ' Class Book, and a member of the Dramatic and Glee Clubs. Previous to his entrance into college, he held four track records in the Triangular High School'League of Boston: Standing Broad Jump C9 feet 6 inchesj, Running Broad Jump C20 feet 2 inchesj, Twelve- Pound Shot-Put C39 feet 9 inchesj, and 440-yard run C54 secondsj. Mr. C1lendon's coaching experience began at Navy, where he acted as Plebe coach from 1919 to 1922, at-which time he took over his father's position with the Varsity Crew. Besides rowing, he found time to coach a championship class basketball team once, and instructed class football for three champion- ships. He was also instructor in boxing, swimming, wrestling, gymnastics and setting-up exercise while at Annapolis. He continued the noted Glendon record after he took charge of Varsity Crew in' 1922, and after three years of successes came to Columbia to do for our crew what Haughtoniwas doing for football. His first work was done in the fall of 1925 in an extensive fall-rowing pro- gram, and progressed by introducing his far-famed scow. The material that he had to mould into a crew was very discouraging, but Columbia's results for the 1926 season were six races won and six lost. The greatest Freshman crew ever to row for the Blue and White, which completely outclassed every rival to win the Intercollegiate Championship at Poughkeepsie, stands out vividly as a monument to the Glendon ability, and the college enthusiastically looks forward to coming seasons with what is doubtless the greatest coaching staff in the country- Dick Junior, and Dick Senior. GLENDON, JR. Coach Glendon, Sr. Richard Glendon, Sr., the most famous crew coach of all times, and who is now assisting his son at Columbia, was born April 14th, 1870, at Harwich, Mass. While at school he participated in baseball and track, becoming interested in rowing some years later. His coaching experience dates back to 1889, at which time he started with the Boston Athletic Association. This club boasted of his services for fourteen years, until in 1904 the United States Naval Academy offered him the place of head coach. He accepted the post and remained at Annap- olis until 1922, when he retired in favor of his son. In the fall of 1925 he again entered collegiate rowing circles, coming . to Columbia. t GLENDON, SR.
