Rowing was added to the University of Washington's sports curriculum in 1904. By the 1920s, the team had become a serious challenge to the eastern universities which had dominated the sport for decades. In this photo, the 8-man varity crew of 1928 poses on a dock. The coxswain, who calls the strokes, squats in front.
