hntduy INC ColltBt lbNlHb 'Ot'h-
es are putting their crew candidates
through divers training stunts TO |
Iully half year away, says the New
York World. The long preliminary |
grind In the gymnasiums on the new
CT advancing rowing machines is |
how well under way, and long runs
up hill and down dale to improve |
the wind" are being taken by |
those who hope to sit in the racing |
shells in the big regattas next year.
II has been denied that the |
Poughkeepsie regatta will be held
on Saturday, June 81. The Yale
Harvard races at New London gen.
orally come the same week. There
will be considerably more prelimi-
nary races next year. Columbia is
preparing an unusually heavy
schedule, including race with Har-
ward. Annapolis may send three
crews to Poughkeepsie, but nothing
definite has been decided yet. Cor
nell, the collegiate champion, has a
race scheduled with Harvard. Penn
sylvania will probably row against
the middies. Then nearly all the
college crews will have entries in the
amateur regattas preceding the
Poughkeepsie carnival.
OF the seven crews which rowed
in the Varsity race at Poughkeepsie
last June not one lost more than
three men by graduation. At this
early date the prospects seem espe-
cially bright for an unusually fine
legatta on the Hudson river in 1908.
Columbia and Cornell, which
fought out beautiful race last
June, with the victory going to the
Ithacans by the narrowest margin
will'both have fine collections of vet
eran oarsmen.' Only one man, w. L.
Starbuck, No. 4, has been lost from
the Columbia boat through gradual
ton. Capt. p. w. Won Saltza and
James c. Rice, the coach, will have
some experienced substitutes from
whom they can select a man to fill
Starbuck's place. Three of Cornell's
Varsity men completed their college
courses last June. They are W. S.
Newman, No. 3; c. G. Goodier, No. G
and w. S. Stowell, No. 7. The Ith-
AGA Varsity four was a fast quartet
last June, and as all of these men
are still in college Pop" Courtney
should have little trouble in beating
fast eight, as usual. With one ex-
ception the Cornell crew has been
victorious in the big race for the last
seven years.
The Navy entered the Poughkecp-
sic regatta for the first time last
June, and finished third. Previously
the Navy had raced over two-milo
course, and when 1t got in the big
race at four miles II found its stroke
too high for such a long journey.
There Is no doubt this fault won't &C.
cur next year. Although Annapolis
loses only three men, one of them
shell. Capt. J. II. Ingram, the
stroke. His work was as fine as has
been seen on the Hudson In years
and he leaves seat in the boat
which will be hard to fill. The two
other Varsity oarsmen who have left
the Naval Academy are n. II. White
No. 4, and L. w. Pritchard, No. s.
Pennsylvania finished next to An
napolis last June. Ellis +. Ward
the coach, had a fair freshman elgh,
which contained some first-class Var
sity material and he should be able
to boat a crew next year which will
be better than his 1907 Varsity
Pennsylvania has many of her last
years crew in college and should fin
ish well up.
Edward II. Ten Eyck produced {
winning freshman eight for Wiscon
sin. Should the Badgers make tht
long journey East next summer
which seems probable, the chances
are that they will be further up al
the finish in the big race. Capt. Da
Wis, No. a.; j. Il. Van Meter, No. 3
and G. S. Hine, bow, completed theil
college crew work last June, but II
should not be a difflcult task to I'll
these vacancies from the freshman
eight.
A. L. Hale, No. 2, and w. w. An
drews, No. 3, will not be in the Syr'
acuse Varsity in 1908, but the stS
ether oarsmen are eligible, including
Jimmie Ten Eyck, the stroke. SYRIA
cuse was the college which broke
Cornell's long string of victories, but
the 1907 eight fell below the aver
age generally representing the Salt
City. However, the Varsity four wor
