Navy Coxswain Ineligible For Intercollegiate Rowing Cups
Annapolis officials revealed that William A. Kennington, 24, Naval Academy coxswain, was ineligible under ECAC rules after competing in varsity events this season and in two meets last year. The academy will return all cups and trophies to governing bodies. ECAC has no authority to redistribute trophies. Kennington entered Vanderbilt in 1947 and graduated in 1951, but did not participate in intercollegiate athletics there, triggering ineligibility for Naval Academy varsity participation. Administrative failure to establish these facts earlier is regretted.
