Even without the draft to help them out, Navy is the logical candidate to win the Adams Cup tomorrow in the triangular contest over the Henley distance, The Middies have seven veterans from last year's formidable boatload, and as if that weren't enough, they have already turned in comfortable victories over both Princeton and Yale...
After last year's great season, many local followers feared that the graduation of stroke Frank Cunningham might leave a brawny boatload without the brains needed for perfect timing and steady generalship.

Instead he chose a pair of cheetahs ($1,800), a sacred ibis ($65), a patas monkey...
