NEW YORK, March l7-EYcry year, as
the rowing season approaches. there is a
demand from certain quarters that the
Varsity races, both at Poughkeepsie and

miles to three. many persons believing
that the strain of the fourth mile ls too
much for the oarsmen to endure.
Coach Courtney Favors Change.
The fact that Coach Courtney and
Coach Goodwin of Cornell and OF Co
lumbia, respectively. two OF the three
colleges which form the intercollegiate
Rowing association have come out since
June last in favor OF the change, is ia
Ken to indicate that the matter will soon
be brought before the board of stewards
for decision Although Coach Ward OF
Pennsylvapia, the third college In the as
eociation has not ventured an opinion, II
is thought that he Is not opposed to the
three-mile race
Probably No Action This Week.
No action Will be taken this year how
cvor, by the board OF stewards OF the
Poughkeepsie regatta as the Invitations
TO Wisconsin. Syracuse and Georgetown
have already been cut out. Whether the
question will be taken before the board
another year remains To be seen. Six
years ago the stewards considered the
change and voted to maintain the four
mile race. The present board consists OF
the same men who six years ago voted
against the change. with the exception of
Mr.. Frank Irvine OF Cornell, who has
succeeded Fred Colson of the same col
lege. The vote or the stewards In 1900
settled the question for the time being.
and they have not yet been obliged To re-
consider the matter, Courtneys stand
may bring 1t to a head again. however.

certain rowing authorities to consider

Is expected every year, from parties who
wish to stir up an argument, 1t lis said
that II also became quite the custom to
crlticise officers of the PouGhkeeDsie re-
eatta In the selection OF their dates for
the races. AS a matter Of fact, the dates
have been chosen as far ahead as 1910
the board OF stewards relying upon the
Government reports for tide conditions In

Gus fact that the annual meetings OF the

pend upon tho tide. Regents each year
