 The Princeton coach believes Lake Carnegie is peculiarly adapted for scul1- tue and thinks that branch of rowing could ba developed as a pastime for many students who have not the phy- sfQue to row in. the eights and that they would derive much beneft from the regular exercise. It would be of special value. he believes, to those students wao-c0u1d not be regular In their att tendance at the ordinary crew prac- tices.
 He opposes sculIing as an intercoIle- gtate feature for two reasons.

The trad4- HonB of rowing as distinguished from arulling are peculiarly college trada- kt0nH. he says, in declaring it much wiser to encourage sculling as a pas- eitne and to conhne intercollegiate coutests to sweep rowing.
 pr. James B. Aver of Harvard has advocated the making of the single scliu race a feature of university row- fnw- He believes that 1t would aid fin deveIcp1ng men for the varsity crews and that the necessary strength for the eight cared race would not be a requi- eite for the scuIling race. This opin- ion. however, is not indorsed by the majority Of college crew coaches.

 A there are no such backstops- There's slight distinction between the two classes. Catcher involves the broader sense of that special type of athletes that wear mask. wind pad and r1aftt. catchers value is reckoned relative to his team worth. taking in his offensive as well as his defensive ability. Backstop only implies the de- fensive 1ssue-the work or handling pitchers. crossing batsmen and keep ing runners glued to the sacks,
 Wherefore general fandom will tell you perhaps that Chief Meyers of the Giants Is the best catcher in che Ma tional league. The statement is made. keeping in mind Meyers all round utiI- ity-principa1Iy his deadly hitting eye. for no major league mask man pun- mels the pill as does the mission abo- rigine. But purely as a backstcp' there is no man before the public who can hold a candle to the Cub stalwart. From a defensive standpoint he is as superior to Meyers as Meyers Is supe- rfor to Jimmy extensively.
