...stroke gradually, nosed ahead at two miles, easily won by four lengths in record-breaking time, with Navy and Cornell second and third. Gloriously climaxed was the career of Washington's eight varsity regulars, U. S. and Olympic champions, the greatest crew ever produced by proud Coach Al Ulbrickson...
...attention of Yale, whither he went in 1922 taking Richard Pocock with him. He was succeeded at Washington by Russell ("Rusty") Callow, who brought the West Coast its first Poughkeepsie Regatta winner in 1923, went to the University of Pennsylvania in 1927. Currently, Washington crews are coached by Al Ulbrickson, whose major rival is Ky Ebright, Washington coxswain in 1916-17, now head coach at California. Between them, Washington and California have won the Poughkeepsie Regatta, in which Yale, Harvard and Princeton are the only major crews that do not compete, eight times in the last 13 races. California crews...
...Again the favorite was California, trained to the minute, rowing the odd, short, leg & arm stroke with which Coach Ky Ebright stampeded college rowing in 1932.

Said he, before the boats lined up last week on Oakland Estuary: "This is potentially the greatest crew I ever coached...
...intersectional games and has gone on record to that effect with Yale . . . : Judging from the Harvard Director's conversation the crew situation on the western littoral interested him not a little. He saw the four varsity and three freshman crews of the University of Washington working out under Coach Ulbrickson, who impressed Mr. Bingham a great deal. He wondered why the Crimson crews, with such excellent facilities, couldn't turn in better performances, especially when he considered the meagre equipment at Washington. The California navy was also seen in action on the Bay. Incidentally, Mr. Bingham learned that Harvard...
