- Canadian Pair Drawn With Veteran Finns a calles es" si - it will be another Tokyo," Jack- 'RT ROYAL HENLEY By RON HOWARD HENLEY - ON - THAMES, England (CP) -- The Henley Royal Regatta draw has pitted the Vancouver pair of George Hungerford and Roger Jackson tt two Finnish veterans and left two Canadian school- boy eights with the chance of facing each other in the second elimination heat of the Princess) Elizabeth Challenge Cup. Hungerford and Jackson, 1964 Olympic gold medallists, are to meet T. Pitkanen and-V. Leht- ela, of Finland, whom they de- feated last year at Tokyo, in the first heat of the Silver Gob- lets Wednesday. The same day, the 1965 Cana- dian scholastic champion eight from St. Catharines Collegiate Institute will meet a Tiffin School eight from London, and a Shawnigan Lake School eight from Vancouver Island _ will take on another English eight from Cheltenham College. If both Canadian eights win, they will meet in the second heat Thursday of the Princess Eliz- abeth Challenge Cup, an event for schoolboy crews. Rick Crooker and John Ferg- uson, two spares from the St. Catharines eight, will join Hun- gerford and Jackson in the Sil- ver Goblets competition, facing European champjons Peter Gorney and Ginter Bergau of West Germany. ENTRIES SET RECORD 'A record 208 crews, including 32 entries from outside Britain, have been entered in the four- day regatta. Nineteen of the 32 come from North America. Hungerford and Jackson have been training three hours a day on the tricky Thames course, 35 miles west of London, since their arrival June 20. Both have reservations about their chances, noting that there are at least five top pairs among the 13 entered. "'¥¢ the Finnish pair are in as) good shape this year as they were at the Olympics last year, gon, 23, said in an interview Sunday. "We are hoping our ages--the Finns are both about 35 -- combined with our rugged conditioning will make the: dif- ference." He said that cross-winds, a strong current and an wn- marked centre line down the one-mile, 550-yard course could prove costly if ignored during a race. "You can't really say any race here is going to be easy, because you don't know from one day to the next whom you are going to meet." NICHOLSON CONFIDENT Plagued by shell troubles id minor accidents, coach Jack Nicholson . appeared~ co that his St, Catharines crews have a chance of winning. "Tf we get a fair boat, our eight can handle most of the English crews entered," the 33- year-old professional engineer gaid Sunday. "If we had our own shell, we would be away." also is expected to have five of 'its. Olympians aboard. The Ger- mans had been the favorites at Tokyo after dominating eight- lent/oared rowing for several years. shell was swamped by the wake; of a motor launch and later ran into a marker buoy, shear- ing the fin off the bottom of the craft. Nicholson thinks Crooker, 17, and Ferguson, 18, will be up against stiff competition from the seasoned German crew in their first heat. In the eights competition for the Princess Elizabeth Chal- lenge Cup, he rated three Eng- lish crews -- Radley College, Emanuel School and Shrews- bury School -- along with Phil- lips Academy from Hanover, N.H., and Shawnigan Lake, B.C., as the main threats from the 35 crews entered. The Shawnigan Lake crew is to arrive by air late today. They are bringing their own shells and are scheduled to compete in other European re- gattas in July and August. The top American eight-oared crews face each other in the first round, and so do the top German, in the competition for the Grand Challenge Cup. MEET EACH OTHER The Olympic champion Ves- per Boat Club of Philadelphia and the Harvard University crew, regarded as the best eights in the United States this year, have come about 3,000 miles to row against each other in a fight for survival. "Tt does seem a shame the draw has worked out this way, but there is no point in com- plaints," said the Harvard cox- swain, John Unkovic, 21. '"This is the way things go." The Ratzeburg eight from West Germany, Olympic silver medallists, drew the East Ber- lin TSC Club in the first round. Henley, a regatta of unchang- ing ways, has never seeded overseas competitors on grounds that not enough ad- vance information is available on the crews. "We may as well meet Ves- per in the first round as at any time," said Uknovic. 'After all if you're going to win the trophy, you have to beat the best in the competition at some stage. With the German crews here, it was pretty well bound to be a tough draw anyway." IS EARLY FAVORITE The Vesper crew has been made the. early favorite for the Grand Challenge Cup, premier event of the regatta. Still to arrive on the river, it ig expected to include five members of the Vesper eight that won the 1964 Olympic gold medal in a big upset. The famed Ratzeburg eight The Russians, winners of the Henley Grand in three of the last four years, are not sending a crew this time. The regatta here conflicts with their own championships. The field of eight for the grand will be completed by the The St. Catharines contingent arrived Thursday but was un- able to borrow shells until Sat- urday afternoon. Both the eight's shell and the pair's craft were built in England along the lines of American shells.

MacKenzie rested last year and is aot thought to be the force he once was. Don Spero, sixth in the Olympic sculls and the American champion, is one of the favorites.
