STRIKING COMPARISONS MADE
Although Time Averaged by Crews
on English River l. some Twenty
Seconds Faster than on POuEh-
keepsie Course, Latter Maintains
"A More Uniform Average.

ithaca Aug That the time made on
/ the New London course by the Yale and
. Harvard crews Tor the last twenty years
/ can not compare TO that made at Pough-
keepsie in the last twelve years. nor with
the records OF the oxford and Cambridge
oarsmeu for the last thirty years. are the
conclusions OF Walter F. Wilcox. head
Of the department OF statistics at Cornell
University and stat-StlCau for che United
States Census Bureau M Wilcox finds
that while there has been a steady i'm
provement on the Thames and at Pough-
keepsie. there has been none al New Lon
don He also finds. that the average time
on the English course for four miles. he
having adjusted the course for the sake
cf comparison is twenty seconds better
than at Poughkeepsie and several min
Utes better than al New London.
NJ Wilcox draws the following con
cluslons-
The English adjusted time Is almost
uniformly below the time for the same
year on either American course. In lS7S
and 1855 the winning time al New Lon
don and in l-I and 1905 the winning time
al Poushksepsie was below the En-risr
adjusted time OF those years. but these
exceptions only emphasize the rule.
SeconC-The English records seem 70
have improved in the course OF the thirty
years Eight Of the thirty adjusted
records are below nineteen minutes and
all eight were IN the last sixteen years.
Third-There Is some evidence of an
iup-ovuenc also in the records on the
Hudson, although the brevity OF the series
,o1ly tw0-ffthS that of the EnElisaJ.
makes the inference less certain.
Eourth-But there Is no clear evidence
o. any Improvement ir the winning
records NJ New London To be sure. three
Of the FIVE SIoweSt races occurred in the
first half Of the series. but 1--WE OF the
nine fastest races also occurred during
that period
Fifth-TEe degree Of uniformity in the
winning time from year TO year has been
greatest on the PouEhkeaus.e c0u-se- and
least on the New London course This
may arise from The greater uniformity Of
the conditions 0C wind and water ar
Poughkeeps,e or from the more uniform
ability OF the winning crews. or from the
greater keeuless Of The competition where
more than two crews are entered. Ct from
two OF more of these factors
SiXJh-Iu this respect the records Tor
the New London course indicates an i'm
pr1ve1eut. ths curve being much more
regular fo- the last half OF the period 7
