The First College Rowing

In 1897 rowing was inaugursted as
an intercollegiate sport. True. the
crews were only four Dared, enthusi-
asm was confined to z few zealots and
the races were unofficial; but this much
progress had been made-that the uni
versity rowing clubs rowed under the
names Of their respective universities.
II was a matter of little moment TO
the spectator just what was the exact
technical athletic standing of the
crews as regarded their varsity stand
ing What was of vital Importance
was that the rival universities had
rowed against each other. Whatever
the contest might be, the fact that Stan
ford and California were contestants
was alone sufficient TO arouse popular
interest. The partisan feeling was
awakened. Rowing had come into its
own--in crude state TO be sure-but
il had at last arrived.
The second year of intercollegiate
rowing saw the University of Washing
ton entered in the intercollegiate re-
estts Unfortunate chickering's between
Stanford and California over the loca-
fion of the course forced Washington
20 win two races, the first against Cal
ifornfa. which she lost, and the second
against Stanford. which resulted in a.
victory for the northern crew. A month
and a half later all three varsity crews
competed on Lake Washington. Cali
fornfa won the varsity and Stanford
the freshman race.
Stanford, so far. had been working
under great disadvantages. The coach
ing had been done first by Professor
A. ". Smith and later by Bob Gather.
Student body support was lacking and
only the small coterie Of enthusiasts
who form the boating club stood back
OF the rowing movement.
The SUMMER Of 1900 marked an I'm
portant advance IN the intercollegiate
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-09

proving conclusively that interest at
last was general
1t was unfortunate accordingly that
the great audience should be disap-
pointed. though the few enthusiasts
who saw the race Monday morning or
stayed for the freshman race late Sat-
urday afternoon returned TO the city
more enthusiastic than ever.
Rowing has come to stay. The sport
has many qualities to make 1t both
popular and keep IL from the taint or
professionalism. There is no chance
for dirty work, such as Is possible In
football. baseball or on track 1t Is es-
sentially clean Roughness toward an
opponent is impossible. Conscientious
training is necessary The individual
member of the crew must be skillful
with the oar and know how to pull his
stroke. And what's even more import
ant. be must learn how to pull with
machinelike precision with his seven
rowing mates. ard be responsive to the
change of pace without disturbing the
unison of the crew. HiS condition must
be perfect. II one remembers that In
rowing not one moment is given FOR
breathing space or rest. that In each
stroke every ounce OF strength that
man has in legs, back and arms Is put
to its fullest test, that as the crews
near the end of the race the pace in
creases. it is seen that man not in the
pink of condition will fail to respond
to the coxswain's call for higher
stroke. his oar will drag. he will splash
on his recovery. ruin the harmony OF
the boat and nullify the efforts OF the
crew. He must know how to row. The
crew must have form. But MS knowl-
edge and form avail but little II his
condition is not there. This fact was
demonstrated in the race between Cali
fornia and Stanford eights- California's
crew was In poor condition and as soon
as the pace began to tell they COM
menced to splash badly. Stanford's
crew. on the other hand. being In per-
feet condition. kept Its form and speed
to lie eld OF the race This compari-
son is not meant as a criticism Of the
crews, but to show that condition Is
paramount. Good condition is gained
only by long training under expert
eyes. This means a large outlay, es-
pecialy when the rowing squad num-
bers upon an average 80 to 40 men for
tho season. Here we reach the vital
point wherein lies both the weakness
and strength of the rowing problem

Stanford university arrived from the
east To the uninitiated the event was
frsught with little Importance. but to
the rowing enthusiast and university
man It was the reward OF long deter
mined effort and the conquest OF
seemingly insurmountable obstacles. II,
three years ago. fervid boating opti-
mist had predicted that 1907 would
witness the race OF varsity eights his
prophecy would have been greeted with
the plying smile OF federation bestowed
OF the weak minded The optimist now
has the laugh on his condescending
brother and has shown the public the
one sport that equals IN every way the
old game OF intercollegiate football as
a creator OF thrills, nervous exhaustion
and mental collapse.
The University OF California can at
least thank the rowing clubs on the
bay for the aid OF competition. For.
while the men at the state university
owe their beginning to their own en-
thusiasm and zeal. and their develop
ment to Coach Garnett, the San Fran
cisco rowing clubs were rivals worthy
their best efforts and furnished an in
centive TO training.
The boating interests at Stanford
may be grateful. too. for the aid re-
ceived from the Portland rowing club
for il was from that organization that
the Stanfords got the veteran coach,
Dan Murphy. The impulse given the
cardinal crew by the coming of Murphy
was so great that only those who have
been in close touch with the struggle
Of the university osrsmen for recogni-
fion can fully appreciate what this
coach has accomplished through his
enthusiasm, skill and hard work in the
face Of most discours ging conditions.
Rowing on the bay for the past dec
ade has been sport monopolized by
a few yachting and boating clubs,
while the contests have appealed only
10 few enthusiasts Of the different
competing organizations. This rivalry,
one might say. has been almost per-
sonaI.
In the northwest public interest was
q little more general The crews not
only represented rowing clubs. but also
the big athletic clubs, and these latter
all had big and enthusiastic follow

A Clean, Costly Sport

To keep the crew means heavy ex-
pense without cent of revenue This
has retarded the adoption of this sport,
for the universities could figure only
deficits in their student treasures at
the end of the year; but the plunge
was taken this year to the limit when
the eight" was developed. In the very
element, however, that has caused the
delay we find the strongest argument
for the crew-the tendency toward pro-
