SOUABBLE OVER DATE
OF AMERICAN HENLEY
New Workers Say 1t Does Not Conflict With Peo-

NEW YORK. Dee 27.-The New York
members Of the board OF stewards of the
American Rowing Association are not
particularly troubled over the alleged
displeasure Of Philadelphia oarsmen be-
cause OF the selection OF July for the
American Henley on the Schuylkill- The
Philadelphians are Of the opinion that
the American Henley will interfere with

which 10 has been held for years. and
which is considered one OF the greatest

citation. Philadelphia has always given

AT New London il is different. One

There are great many men in the col

in getting into the crews for Pough-

Henley will not be confined to college

There viii be no hair-splitting about
