Ward Says Collegians
Would Not Have a
Chance.

Opposition of college men to the
proposed method of picking an
American crew TO the Olympic re-
gatta and the ridicule heaped upon
the plan by famous coaches and
trainers may yet result in the
abandonment of the project to send
an Ail-American eight abroad.
While the college coaches do not
agree on the best method OF secur-
ing an American eight, they are
unanimous in their contention that
eight men picked here and there
from the different colleges could
never be nodded into a successful
eight Coach Courtney, of Cornell.
declares that eight scullers would
make the best crew America could
send abroad, while Coach Ward. Of
Pennsylvania, and Coach Wrav, OF
Harvard, say that the best crew
would be some college eight espe-
cially trained for this one event.
Mr.. Ward thinks that the commit
tee should have arranged for a pre-
hminary regatta, in which all the
college and club crews which could
pass the eligibility test be gotten
together and the winner made
Americas eight 10 the Olympic
regatta. The committee, however.
thought that its present project
would go through ard declined TO
arrange the preliminary regatta. so
that now it faces the likelihood Of
having no crew at all TO send
abroad.

oarsmen on the Pikington Curtis
