TIME AND MONEY WASTED.
Efforts to Get English Crew to Row
in This Country.

For all the good that he will accomplish
the representative of the jamestown expo
sition who went abroad recently to try to
induce either oxford or Cambridge. which
ever crew wins next annual race between
these two. to come to this country next
year to row against the winner Of either
the Harvard-Yale race at New London or
the intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepse,
might as we'll have stayed at home. The
management of the exposition by Its ac-
ton shows a lamentable ignorance of the
attitude of the English toward the Ameri-
can oarsmen and likewise a deep ignorance
of the temper of the oarsmen who row an
nually at Poughkeepsie and New London.
Any proposition which aims to arrange
race for the international college cham
Dionship' to be decided between the win
Cambridge meet, will simply meet
with a frost. The American public
does not recognize either Harvard or Yale
as the best opponents of its rowing Prov
ess. Judged solely on the work they did
last spring. it is safe to say that the Har-
ward eight. which beat Yale for the first
time in years. would not have finished
bit better than fourth at PoughkeepSie had
it competed there. The Cornell eight sim
ply ran away from Harvard in their dual
race at Cambridge over two-mile course,
and as both Pennsylvania and Syracuse
gave Cornell desperate struggle over the
entire Poughkeepsie course of four miles,
not two lengths separating the first and
third crews. it is fair to assume that bot6
Yale and Harvard. had they ventured to
row at Poughkeepsie. would have been far
back In the ruck with Wisconsin and CO.
lumbia.
1t is because the American public knows
this to be the case not only this year. but
for many seasons past. that 1t seriously
protests against letting either Harvard or
Yale pose as the American rowing cham
pion. If the management of the Jamestown
regatta wants to do the popular thing 1t
will strain every effort to bring together
all the American college crews in one big
regatta to determine the winner of the
American intercollegiate championship. And
then If the British champion eight cares to
venture to this SIDE of the water it can
race the winner for the international col
lege championship.
The possibility of the English collegians
accepting an invitation to row any sort
of crew from this side of the water over
an American course is too remote to be
seriously considered. When the matter was
preached to the Britons last summer on
the occasion Of the visit of the Harvard
crew to the other side the Englishmen
made it appear that such a trip as that
taken by Harvard would make profess
SIGNALS of the Britons. This was nothing
more nor less than himsy excuse on the
part of the Britons. who would be afraid
to risk their rowing prowess in race
