Since the recent defeat of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania crew by Lean
der at the Henley regatta, the English
I papers have been throwing all kinds OF
bouquets at the superiority of the Eng
+ lish stroke. Regarding this the follow
/ ing comment is from a. gentleman who
has been familiar with aquatic events
for the past twenty-five years, after
! reading the British excerpts. 1T
/ seems to me that the English are lit
! tie hasty in concluding that their
style of rowing is superior to ours II
must be that the English are exceed
ingly doubtful about the effectiveness
I of their stroke for they take the first
] opportunity 10 declare il Vindicated-
/ Even Colonel William. the umpire, said
when the prizes weIs being presented:
I I fail TO see any reason why We should
, alter our style of rowing And the
7 bystanders cheered a g as the Americans
/ had gone TO England Cor the express
! purpose of inaugurating a new style
and had been deservedly rebuked- The
/ Leander stroke remarked I still De

It has stood the test. Now these peO-
pie protest too much. Pennsylvania
never intended to make the race a test
+ of rowing styles. If the English have
so little faith in their stroke that they
can hazard Il ON a race they must De
! ,faint-hearted indeed.
The English seem to forget that Co

I and won the visitors challenge cup.
