Defeat of Vespers Has Not Proven Superiority
of English Rowing System-Leander
Had Star Eight

The defeat of the Vesper crew at
Henley yesterday by the Leander eight
has revived the perennial discussion
concerning the relative merits of Ameri-
can and English rowing.
Each invasion Of the Thames regatta
by the oarsmen from these shores,
followed by their inevitable defeat, has
stirred up anew the cry Of the superior
methods of the British coaches. On all
sides has been heard regret at the In
ability of our coaches to develop cights
that can compete with the same success
that has followed our yachtsmen and
field and track athletes in their tries
at the foreigners.
All Have Lost.
Yale, Cornell and Pennsylvania have
all tried their sweeps in the waters of
the Thames, and each lost. En-
courageds by their victories sin the
OIympianz egattas at Paris In 1sDs and
at ST. Louis last summer the Vespers
decided to- send their most formidable
eight abroad to try TO lift the classic
grand challenge cup.
Like their predecessors, the Vespers
have been forced to taste the bitterness
Of defeat and they returned home with
of Yale, Cornell, and Pennsylvania.
Without attempting to disparage in
the least the grand race rowed by the
Leader eight, it must be said in justice
TO followers of American boating, that
the Vespers were hardly representa-
tive eight as compared with The Inen
that manned the English shell.
Leander Better Crew.
II is admitted by all that the Leander
crew is the best that ever rowed against
an American eight on the Thames. From
bow to stern the English crew was COM
posed Of thoroughly tried and expert
| enced oarsmefl. three of whom are dia-
mond scull men. The stroke was pro-
nounced the best No. S that ever made
pace for Leander. and he was backed
up by q finished set Of men who had
been brought to the top notch OF per
fection for the struggle with the Yes
perS.
Opposed to this all-star aggregation

his prime was rated one of the most
wonderful stroke oars that ever sat in

caused the defeat.

during the couple of weeks OF final
preparation on The Thames. for those on
this side who followed the home work
OF the Vespers hardly expected them to
come within sixty feet of victory
against the pick of all England
Little more than month ago, the
Vespers were forced 10 exert them
selves to the utmost to win a fifteen

Pennsylvania crew in a mile and BOO

freshmen the same day. Last week this
Pennsylvania crew, with only one
change In the lineup, had 10 be salts
Syracuse, Georgetown, and Columbia,
al Poughkeepsie-
Then the question arises, What would
have been the chances of the Cornell
eight which finished fully twenty-f1
lengths, or over half mile, ahead of
Pennsylvania on the Hudson, had the
Ithacans been ssnt abroad to repre-
sent America at Henley?
Upon his return 70 Ithaca Coach
Courtney gave out the statement that
unless there is a big Improvement in
the management of the .Soughheepsie
regatta Cornell win not row there again.
He says that Cornell's boat house Is
the poorest on the river, and that the
condition Of the water during the race
last week was such that, had the event
been started two minutes earlier, Cor
nell would not have had a chance
It is true that the arrangements for
the intercollegiate races this year were
rather poor, but II is hard to conceive
why Courtney should complain OF has
treatment.
Delayed the Race.
The Ithaca coach himself held up the
varsity race until the delay became tire
some to the thousands upon the observa-
| ton train, and the other crews were
padding about she stake boats in order
/ to keep from injuring their shells
! Courtney's idea in delaying the race
was that he might get every advantage
/ of the current and so much was the
/ Red and White favored by the strone
tide running on the outside course thal

| been on one OF the inside courses he;
big lead over the other crews at th'

| by every advantage, to threaten to with

be too severely criticised.
