same time a difficulty which was well nigh in
surmountable. That difficulty was the differ
encs OF the rowing seasons OF the two countries.
IN England the men are All trained and the col
lege races rowed In March, while In America the
PRACTICAL outdoor training does not begin until
well toward the last part OF March. To train an
American crew on this side OF the water to row
IN March on the other side would be as impossi-
