    ARGONAUT PROTEGES- 1960-1 971 Angus "Jack" Russell had a problem. As president and head coach of the Argonaut Rowing Club, he was charged with producing cornpetitive crews, and Argo oarsmen had been trailing in their rivals' wake throughout the 1950s. In senior heavyweigbt rowing, the only category that really counted in those days, the Argonaut Rowing Club had won only two Canadian Henley titles since 1945. By 1960 Russell, himself a 1952 Olympian, was aiming to bring the double-blue back to their prewar prominence. Enter the University of Toronto. Or rather not. Through the 1960s, which saw the return of Varsity Blues rowing afier a twenty-year absence, the University itself played only a secondary role in developing a rowing program for its students. Instead, the UTRC was an enterprise aImost entirely initiated. directed and sustained by the Argonaut Rowing Club. As the Argos went, so too did the Varsity Blues rowers. In the post-war years, student registration had doubled from some 7 100 in 1940 to 15 000 in 1950.' The University of Toronto, supported by a vigorous interfaculty league and by the rnany retuming veterans. teerned with athletic life once more.' There were no Iess than 14 intercollegiate men's and 3 women's teams, including everything from football to fencing. But despite the influx of servicemen and the University's cornmitment to an extensive athletic program, there was no rowing. Though 1 hâve found no evidence, it is plausible that U of T student-veterans were keen to row, just as they had been in 1919.

I also survey the development of sport studies, situating my research within almost a century of scholarship on play, games and sport. I account for these developments with an overarching interest in continuity and change, considering the processes and events that deliver particular historical moments, and the ways in which the past becomes a resource for the future.
