The Cornell Crew
HENLEY ON THE THAMES, July g.
The Henley regatta begins tomorrow.
Cornell, ut 3 80 p. m. OF that day will meet
the famous Leander boat club crew, prob
ably the strongest on the river. In view
of the depressing accounts circulated re-
garding che all-Cornell crew, repre- sent.
alive of the Associated Press had talk
with Charles A. Courtney, their coach,
when he arrived at the boathouse this
morning. Courtney looked very glum,
and said:
II do not know whether the Cornell
crew will be able to 70 W tomorrow. The
fact is we have two SICK men among the
crew, who ought not to row in their pres
ent CO ndition. They are Hager and Fen.
.ieH: LIS lAtter WAS In HlSH ieVel yeo-
tsrday evening. The two men, however.
may be all right tomorrow, as / was
afiicted in the same way. and felt all
right one day and bad the next. If our
boys were right feel very confident that
there is not crew on the river equal to
them. They have been steadily improv-
ing IN practice, and make faster time at
each trial. In spite of this am unwill-
ing to take the responsibility of allowing
sick men to strain themselves in a race.
II the invalids are not better tomorrow
we shall have to put IN substitutes or else
scratch. have done everything possible
to keep the men IN condition, but they
mate and the little worries to which they
have been subjected. If I had the thing
to do again l would request permission
to bring twenty-five men here AID keep
two crews training"
Courtney does not share the suspicious
of Mr.. G. s. Francis. the trustee Of Cor
nell university who accompanied the Cor
legged unfairness in the drawing of lots
for the different heats, which resulted in
pitting Cornell against the Leander crew.
Conn renting on the drawing, Courtney
remarked:
''The affair was managed differently
than at home. Here there is one man
who draws the name flom ashat and then
tears them up, none of the others seeing
them. Bus this man was an old Leander
boat club man of the highest repute. and
if he desired to favor his club he would
have given them bye"
Courtney seems to be over-anxiuus
about the result. He has been working
very hard. and there is reason to belle We
Cornel's prospects are much better than
he imagines. Certainly there was no sign
of encouragement among them when
the boys arrived at the boathouse at 10
O'Clock. 1t is true that some of them
looked pale. but they were all in the best
of spirits, and Fennell and Hager were

course. All the other crews were out, and
it was admitted on all sides that none of
them approached Cornell's form or ap-
peared too row as easily. the members of
the Leander crew have an undeniab BILE
hang in each stroke. number OF Eng
lish coaches were grouped with Courtney
on the river while the crews were prac-
ticing and one OF them said:
"Well, Courtney. your boys certain ~
row IN the best form and in better style
tnan any of the crews on the river. We
give them four out of six points. Their
principal fault in our m ind is in the
work and the use of their hands could
not be better"
Courtney ADMITS that the stroke Of the
Cornell crew is not as long as he would
like. and he says 1t is Asimply because
Hall will not reach as far as Courtney
wants. On arriving at the starting point
after their practice the Cornell boys pad

course. AS the Cornell crew rowed up
stream and passed the town where great
masses of people lined the banks, and in
going under the bridge they were greeted
with hearty cheers and cries OF 1--WE

where else on the coast, Prices cream

circles that if Valkyrie III fails to win
the cup the Americans will get respite
from defending it, but that strong at
