HUSKY CREWS OFF
TO DEFEND TITLE
AT POUGHKEEPSIE
SEATTLE, June 11. m With a
fair chance to duplicate their triple
triumph of laat year, the three crewa
of the University of Washington made
ready to leave this evening to defend
their national championships In tbe
Intercollegiate reratta at Poughkeep
sle. N. Y., June 23.
In the big event on the Hudson
river last season the mighty Wash
ington navy rowed off with the var
slty. Junlor-varalty and freshmen
titles, to become the first school to
ever score a three-way sweep.
This year Coach Al Ulbrtckson has
again built three apeedy water-wagons.
This fact waa proven wben tbe
Huskies won all three races from
the California Bears In the Pacific
coast regatta, with tbe freshmen and
Junlor-varalty boats establishing new
records on the Oakland eptuary
course.
And the ssme oarsmen who rowed
undefeated "around the world" last
season, climaxing the tour with an
Olympic games victory In Berlin, are
still manning the varsity shell. They
won tne Pacific coast, national and
Olympic titles In 1038.
Ulbrlckson Is hoping, of course
but he Is hardly expecting hla galley
slaves to make It a grand -slam again
"We'll be trying, but don't count
on. ua too much for another clean
sweep." was hla parting ahot.
"Our varalty la aa fast aa It was
last year but It runs bot and cold.
One day It looks great and the next
not so hot. Also we expect stronger
competition. Navy has a fast boat
and you can't overlook Cornell. Cali
fornia and even Syracuse.
"The Washington Junior-varsity is
one of the finest we have ever had
and with only three entries In this
event we might take It. Our fresh
men boat Is about average, but you
never can tell what kids will do In a
race."
