The Husky Clipper varsity crew began their journey with remarkable success, dominating the Pacific Coast Regatta by three lengths and showcasing impeccable teamwork at the Poughkeepsie Regatta, where coxswain Bobby Moch’s strategic pacing led to a dramatic comeback and victory. This secured their spot at the Olympic qualifiers in Princeton, where an early misstep tested their resilience. Regaining rhythm under Moch’s guidance, they surged ahead to defeat California and Pennsylvania by a full length, earning their place at the Berlin Olympics. By March 1936, Coach Ulbrickson finalized the varsity lineup, selecting Don Hume, Joe Rantz, Shorty Hunt, Stub McMillin, Johnny White, Gordy Adam, Chuck Day, and Roger Morris. Though Joe was the last to be chosen, the team’s shared backgrounds of hard work and perseverance forged a deep bond, creating a synchronized and determined crew ready to face the challenges ahead.
