1 r .. , ll . 1 4-r+++L..f+++++ y' XX' -J Crew Kam OR the first time in the history of athletics at Germantown, a crew was Gay organized this year, largely through Garret Gilmore, who is trying to pro- mote interest in rowing among the preparatory schools in the east. After an interesting talk in chapel by Gilmore and several others on the benefits 'P' of rowing, it was decided that the school would take it up. Candidates were called out and much enthusiasm was shown, because ,of its novelty and also because of the fact that it offered a chance for the fellows who couldn't do other things in the athletic line for the school, to do something for her now. The first practice was held on the machines at the Penn Athletic Club, where nearly thirty-Hve reported to Head Coach Gilmore. Many combinations were tried, until finally a strong one was found. Unfortunately, the ones who were not picked for this combination, failed to come out for practice any more, so some material which might have been valuable was lost, through the lack of grit to stick it out to the bitter end. After a few weeks of practice on the machines, they finally went out on the river, rowing from the Bachelor's Barge Club. In a race with the Bachelor's Barge Junior Eight, our crew won by about two lengths over the mile and a quarter Henley course. In several practice races they left the other school crews well to the rear, but fate had to put her hand in things. Two weeks before the race with St. Joseph's and Brown Prep, Bob Lynch, one of the best oarsman in the shell, had to stop, because of an infected knee. Less than a week before the race, Bud Stier was taken ill with pleurisy, which made two gaping holes in the shell. Our boys were game though and they entered the race regardless. For the first 300 yards they led the other two, but again luck was against us, for joe Hoover's oar-lock broke and he was helpless to remedy it. Following the time- honored custom of oarsmen, he leaped over the side of the shell to lighten the weight for the rest. This, of course, took any possible chance of winning or placing out of the question. They finished one-quarter of a length behind the Brown Prep eight, which was indeed a remarkable feat with seven men. In their next race, held at Princeton, they came in fourth trailing Hun School, La Salle and Brown Prep. This was indeed unfortunate, but everyone feels that they would have shown much better results had they not lost the two men mentioned above. The varsity crew consisted of the following: Watters, Captain, Hoover, Lear, Lundgren, Lynch, Morris, McCarthy, Stier, Knipe, Woody, Boyd, Thompson and Kelly, Coxswain. With only three of these graduating-Watters, Morris and Stier-prospects for next year are indeed good. VVe all hope that they may succeed in the American Scholastics, which is possible should Stier and Lynch be able to get back in the shell again. Remember that this is the first year, give them a chance and above all give them support by coming out and offering yourself as a candidate. 81
