Efforts to Paughkeepsie Next Season.
The University Of Pennsylvania Will not
send crew to Henley next year. Among
rowing men in Philadelphia the impression
prevails that Pennsylvania has had her try
for the Henley cup fairly, and that 1t would
be bad form to return in 1902
I'VE have plenty to do at home" said
Thomas Reath, chairman of the rowing
committee Of the university, in Philadei-
phia last evening. while no one would
like more than myself to see the Henley
cup in Houston Hall, I think the natural
goal of Pennsylvania's crew is the cham
pionship of the intercollegiate regatta at
Poughkeepsie- We had a try at Henley,
and are satisfied. At some future time, If
we think the occasion favorable there may
be another attempt
When asked about the prospects of
graduate crew going abroad Mr.. Reafh said
that such a proposition is looked upon by
most of the rowing men as neither desira-
bic nor practicable. Then the rowing COM
mittee would not give up the services of
Ellis Ward, the coach. and without him the
plan would not be considered.
