NEW LIFE PUT INTO
THE ROWING MEN

At the end of one weeks work on the
machines the influence OF the new roWliis
coach at Georgetown University IS al
ready seen. not only in the number or new
men who are out to make place on the
1908 varsity eight. but in the INTRODUCTION
into southern rowing circles. and partlcu-
lariy i'm Georgetown aquatics, of the new
Harvard stroke.
+ All the old men arc learning to TO"
over again-Capt. Fitzgerald. Bill Rice'
Lynch, La Plant, Murray and the other
varsity men among the rest. The same
rip 'er through taught by Dempsey Is
still there in the new Vail stroke, but
noticeable difference seems to be in the
catch of the stroke With Dempsey 1t
used to be a straight pull. Vail teaches
a sort OF lift. and this with the iesS
spreading apart and the arms between

was always outside the knee OF the row.
ing side
The second change from the former
Georgetown stroke is in the position OF
the slide on The recovery. One OF the
hardest tasks for a former GeorgetOWn
oarsman to learn was the holding BACK ot
the slide on the recovery until the hands
and body were we'll forward. and then
tho slow drag of the slide to proper po-
tio,i for the catch. Coach Vail goes al
rectly against this principle and teaches
the coming forward on the slide as soon
as q body has reached the perpendicular
Use of the Slide.
He bases this manner of coming for
ward on the slide on these considerations:
That a man can brea the more freely when
in perpendicular position than when
cramped forward: that some seconds are
lost in holding back the slide, which may
amount TO a considerable fraction in
mile: that this holding back at the start
of the recovery necessitates a rushing of
the slide to catch up at the finish of the
recovery, and that in his experience ANA
teur oarsmen do not succeed in perfect
ing their easy slide work unless the, slide
starts with the body He acknowledges
that some professionals row the Dempsey
style and that the EesQers of Philadel-
phia used this style of slide work in their
races for the championship of the world.
there seems to be more leg play in the
new stroke, and while the individual style
of each oarsman seems Il trifle less
smooth than in the Dempsey stroke. the
appearance of the eight men siamining
the heavy handles OF the machine and
stopping their slides almost like one unit
has the look of the beginnings Of strong.

SAVAGE THREATENS
TO STOP PRODUCTION
"MERRY WIDOW" FIGHT MAY
REACH LOCAL COURTS
Theater Management Contends Play
to BE Given Next Week Is Not
an infringement on
Copyright

Henry w. Savage, through Walter
Floyd, last night served notice upon the
management of the Unique theator that
any attempt to present a burlesque of
"The Merry Widow" at that house
next week will be met by an applica-
ton to the courts for an injunction.
Mr. Floyd is in Los Angeles in ad-
vance of Woodland" a Savage attrac-
ton which opens at the Mason opera
house Monday night. He was Informed
that the Unique people intend to pre-
sent a Merry Widow burlesque, and,
acting under instructions from New
York, promptly forbade the production.
Mr. Floyd was informed that the
name of the burlesque would be
changed to THE Merry Widower;"
that, in the opinion of the management,
1t is not an infringement on the Saw
age copyright, and that the book Of
the burlesque had been written by F..
Clifford Harris, who never has seen
"The Merry Widow" and doesn't know
what it Is about. With these assur-
ances he departed satisfied but it
seems the matter is not yet closed and
that the Los Angeles courts may still
be asked to pass upon the validity of
that much disputed copyright.
VIII Face the Music
G. II. Wippern, who will produce THE
Merry Widower" at the Unique Mon
day unless the courts stop him, said
last night that the piece might be re-
garded as q burlesque on "The Merry
Widow" and might not. He added,
however, that three musical numbers
had been appropriated from the Le-
har opera.
I'VE have been rehearsing these
numbers all week. said Mr.. Wippern,
land l certainly will present Them
Monday unless l am enjoined from so
doing. One of the numbers is the cele-
brated waltz. Another is the moon
song and the third is a big ensemble
number. We plan to sing them and to
sing them in costume.
"As I understand 1t, the Savage copy
right is no good. / don't believe Mr.
Savage can stop us, but if he can he is
at liberty to try it. Unless the courts
interfere Los Angeles will hear 1.-THE
Merry Widow" waltz at the Unique
next week, and you can say that
said So
At the Mason opera house Mr.. Wyatt,
who represents Henry w. Savage To-
cally, said he would refer the matter
to his attorney this morning, and added
the validity of the copyright already
had been assured by the action Of

been tested.
