...Navy as low as 28 or 30 and using its tremendously long follow-through, while Princeton and Harvard held the beat higher at 32 or 34. As the shells cut through the water against the strong current and the slight head wind everyone was expecting to see the midshipmen settle into a stroke whose power would drive them into the lead, while Princeton and Harvard fought it out for second place. But the spurt did not come and Annapolis' far-heralded eight hold close to the Crimson and the Orange and Black. With a stroke a few beats higher than...

Folwell will be remembered hereabouts as the coach of the Washington and Jefferson aggregation that no nearly defeated the University here in Buckley's year...
