MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER ALABAMA JOURNAL SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 1956 FOU 1956 South Atlantic League Schedule Navy's Creiv, World Champs. Train For 5 56 Olympic Title Shakespeare, who graduated in 1953, have been off the water for two years. The other six were back in 1954 to give Navy another undefeated season and have only had a one-year layoff. DetweUer is only two pounds over his 195-pound rowing weight of 1952 and doesn't think he will have too much of a problem. Some of the others will have more to take off.

All will need countless miles of running and hours of exercise to regain the stamina and suppleness necessary for the highly synchronized sport. FIVE MARRIED Five of the championship eight are married and will be bringing their families here. Detweiler married a girl he met at the 1952 Olympics in Finland. Callow plans to launch them on a full month of conditioning in early February, after which they'll start working on the water. Meanwhile, they'll be getting the feel of oars again on a special training device in a tank at the Academy boathouse.

Detweiler and Proctor are already working on this.

July 16-17 All StorGme Aug 1-2 ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 28 CP Navy great crew, which ran up 30 straight victories for a new record in collegiate rowing and won the 1952 Olympics for Uncle Sam, is on its way back for another try. The crew is being reassembled here from Navy and Air- Force duty stations throughout the world for a crack at the 1956 Olympics. Its captain, 1st Lt. Bob Detweil-er, arrived this week from Ellington Air Force Base in Texas.

Henry Proctor, who stroked its No. 6 oar and also is an Air Force lieutenant, had arrived a few days earlier from Moody Air Force Base in Georgia. START CONDITIONING Both have already started conditioning for going on the water in March. Others will be coming in this weekend and at intervals through Feb. 10 from destroyers, cruisers, submarines and Air Force stations They will attempt to do what no previous crew has ever done represent the United States twice in the Olympic Games.

Navy's veteran coach. Rusty Callow, had planned to retire last year but stayed on to take the assignment of coaching them for the Olympic trials June 28-30 at Syracuse, N. y. Does he think they can do it? "It's up to them," Callow says "They were a fine crew. Nobody beat them.

Maybe they're still the best: We'll have to wait and see." BIGGEST THRILLS Rusty, who has coached oarsmen for 31 years and got some of his biggest thrills from the unbeatable Navy eight, plainly regards conditioning as the key answer. Detweller and vLt.

BROKE OLYMPIC RECORD Webb Schwarz of St. Paul, manager of the American speed skating team, pointed out that Carow, Werket, and Henry broke the Olympic record and added: "that was as much as we could hope to do." "The Russians simply have turned up, with their vast recruit-system, better skaters than ours."

He scored the first U. S. goal at 14:41 in the first period, when he grabbed a loose puck from behind his own blue line and skated through the entire Polish squad.
