schoolboys throughout the counties and
arouse enthusiasm in athletics.
It has been found that boys from the
schools in the counties have little chance
in competition with athletes from the big
city schools. many OF whom have the
advantage OF expert trainers. Tome will
introduce series Of events for the rural

Committee Wants Each City 20 De-

veIOp EiGht-oared Outfit.
According to advices received from
James Pilkington and Julian Curtiss, who
compose the committee which is to select
an American eight TO row in the
Olympia regatta in England next July
they have abandoned their original
plan to have this crew made up
of the star oarsmen from the leading clubs
Of the country. They have come 10 the
conclusion that the selection of crew on
this basis is impracticable- The scheme
they now favor is one suggested in the
press. TO permit each city which fosters
rowing to, develop an eight of its own
and then to have these various crews com
pete in preliminary regatta against the
winners of the Poughkeepsie and New
London regattas. the victorious crew to
represent the United States in the Olym-
pics.
The difficulty the committee encountered
in its original plan was that the best oars
men OF the different cities. while desirous
OF representing this country, could not be
induced to give up their business affairs
in order to go to some central place for
training purposes
1t was the unanimous opinion OF rowing
experts in the East that a much better
method to get out the strongest available
crew would be to let each city develop its
own eight and to have the best of the
lot represent this country. This scheme
was acceptable to the committee, and
when the final plans are announced this
will undoubtedly be the method followed
II is open to doubt whether any of the
college eights could successfully compete
In the preliminary regatta. for the reason
that the Intercollegiate races arc over a
course OF four miles, while the Henley
course, where the Olympic regatta will be
contested. is only a mile and fve-six-
