the water in all of its moods. But even
with the water rushing by on either side
OF them and with real oars in their hands
the men realize that they are not on the
river. but the work keeps on steadily in
the last process of the development of the
crack college oarSman as in the first when
he began his work to make the shell and
his position in the varsity crew was in
the dim distance. But they keep at this
work In the tank with a relentless will
their clothes are dripping with perspira-
ton and their hands are blstered by the
oars The work goes on and they listen to
the coach and hear his instructions as he
tales place at one of the oars to give
the practical illustration of what he wishes
them to do in the way of the stroke or the
positions to take before and thereafter.

The work for the college crews generally
starts during the month of February but
the first strokes upon the river generally do
not come before the last part of March, as
the ice does not leave the river so the shell
can be launched, it Is indoor work for
everybody for more than month Then
comes the encouragement to few, while
the discouraging indoor practice Is intensi-
ned for those who can't get to the river.
Nothing is more diScouraging to an aspir-
ing oarsman than the knowledge that,
while he is pulling away at a machine,
some of the others are in the shell speeding
up and down the river. The river practice
Is SO desirable that it must be pretty bad
day that will keep the varsity eight indoors
The work of the crew is steady that a
snowstorm late in March rarely interferes
with the work on the river.
The sight after a row up the river, when
the crews come back with the men crusted
with snow and their sweaters steaming
with moisture from the exertion shows the
methods which are used by all successful
coaches of college crews. This is one of
the days when the men inside seem to be
getting all the best OF things. but there Is
generally never a man in the boat house
who would not gladly have taken a place In
the shell II the coach had simply called for
volunteers. The trouble that bothers the
coach Is not to get the men, but who should
be chosen from the list of candidates. That
Is the great problem OF the professional

General regret was heard on all sides
that Chicago University should have lost
the decision in the one-mile relay. After
leading all the way, the Chicago men were
beaten by the fall of Groman, who was at
the tape yard and a half ahead of Yale
and Pennsylvania. Several persons who
were at the finish sustained the charges of
Coach Stage that several of the Yale men
went off the mark before the preceding rum
ner had touched them. Next year an eff
fort will be made to put a stop to this
method of stealing a few yards. Another
complaint made against some of the run
ners was that they deliberately interfered
with the finish and the start of their COM
petitors by standing on the track and walk
ing about on it after finishing.
The surprise of the rowing world this
spring has been the strong showing of the
Annapolis crews. Year after year the mid
dies have plugged along, content to furnish
practice spins for the big colleges. This
year they jumped to the front first by de-

sit at rowing machine by the hour all
the time patiently moving backward and
forward until the time comes when he
should have developed into a star and has
not.
The applicant for the position In tho
shell who is willing to work and work and
work commands attention from the coach
es as his brother does in other walks of
life when bidding for the attention of the
captains of industry in whose great es-
adjustments he may be only an atom 1t
is a remarkable fact that nearly all the
applicants at the large colleges where can
didates for the various teams of the track
foot bali and base ball. all come to the uni
versity with some experience or other but
when the candidate for the crew makes
his appearance he has invariably never
been in a shell before in his life The
candidate for the relay team has been a
runner in the relays at his high school and
seldom 1t is that man who tries for the
foot ball team announces that he has had
no experience. while when the base ball
man makes his appearance he is generally
the lad who has played the game since he
was seven years of age. and In generally
all running and field sports a man has in
varably been tried out before Offering him
self a candidate. But when the fresh
man appears at college he rarely knows
anything about rowing. While a novice at
the sport. he may think he is quite an
oarsman because he could pull boat
around some lake or shoot a rapid or his
brother owned canoe in some canoe club
but he will always find that he will have
to learn the stroke all over again. il per-
chance he may have had some experience.

shell viii be practically new to him in
every way. The sliding seat, the long
oars. the distanced oarlocks, are all new
TO nearly every man who joins the squad
in training for the crew OF one of our large
universities. On account of this fact 1t is
necessary on the part of the coach to
adopt an entirely new wedding out process
1t is impossible to select oarsmen because
OF participation in preparatory school
races. and it is readily seen that they must
be tried out on form and the crew chosen
by the coach from those who display the
best effect of training.
Many applicants for the crew bring their
efforts to close after several days prac-
tice, for the work is so exhaustive that
some men never get to the shell even In
their class crews. The coaches generally
employ three stages of deyelopment in tia

up at the relay. Here Is what one of the
best trainers in the east offered as an ex-
cuse for the poor showing of eastern men:
For years the western men have been

One of the biggest intercollegiate track
and field meetings America has ever known
is likely TO spring from the University OF
Pennsylvania relay carnival. 1t is an an
nual meeting of the point winners of the
eastern Intercollegiate and the western
conference meet. The originators of the
movement, which has been favorably re-
ccived on all sides, were A A. Stage of
Chicago University and Frank B. Ellis of
Pennsylvania, the latter being the man who
started PENIS relay races and has been
graduate manager of the eastern intercol-
legiates for three years.
The plan proposed last week and dis
Cussed by a conference of eastern and west
ern men during the relay meeting aims to
have the winners of first and second places
In every event at the eastern and western
meet to compete against each other and
thus to decide the long debated question of
supremacy between these two sections To
bring about this meeting the dates of the
two "iutercollegiates' would have to be
changed. At present the eastern meet Is
held every year on the last Saturday in
May, and the western games the first
Saturday in June. With the present dates
1t would be impossible to hold the national
meet until the second Saturday in June.
Coach Stage declared, however that he felt
sure the west would agree to hold its meet
the last Saturday in May. so that the two
associations could be brought together the
first Saturday in June.
The lateness at which the proposal was
made will doubtless prevent the meeting
this year. but its sponsors are determined
TO bring 1t about in 1906. 1t was the unan-
