"Hoover"

"Hoover! Hoover!!" shrieked the crowd at St. Catharine's on the shore of Lake Ontario last week. They were cheering, not for a Cabinet member, but for a sunburned man whose body rose out of the middle of a boat as narrow as a needle and whose arms, pulling, stretching, pulling, drew his craft past that of Johnny Durnan to win the single sculls of the Canadian Henley--Walter Hoover, no relative of the fleshy U. S. Secretary of Commerce.
