COACH PREFERS
4-M|LE COURSE
NickaIIs of Pennsylvania Opposed
to Courtney Suggestion

Philadelphia Feb. 24.-Vivian Nick
alls, coach of the University OF Penn
sylvania oarsmen, today discussed the
proposal by Coach Courtney, of Cor
nell, that the course of the varsity race
at Poughkeepsie this year be shortened
from four To two miles. Nickalls Is
unqualiiiedly opposed to such action,
and will combat vigorously any effort
TO carry it out.
Courtney's reason for cutting" the
old course was that the strain Of Il
four mile race was harmful TO the
collegians, whom, he believed. were
not strong enough to stand the Wear
and tear required in race at that
distance. After remarkng that a tive
mile contest would he just as strenu-
Gus as the four mile race, Nickalli
said:

the annual race on the Hudson is no
place for weaklng, and one never is
found there. The type of athlete who
participates in that race is ideal. He
is well able to stand the grind.
"On the other hand, apropos of The
two mile suggestion made by Mr.
Courtney I would say that the race Il
that distance would be just as injur-
ious and probably more injurious, to
the athletes, than contest at the dis
lance rowed last year, and in previous
rogattas.
AT two miles the race would be 4
continuous squirt, and instead Of row.
ing i'm the early stages with the easy
sweep that marks the contests now,
the men would hit her up from the
start. Such a stroke would do far more
harm To the athletes than the variety
of strokes-to- thc-pinutc now used"
The sentiment on the Penn campus
is that Cornell feels that the Ithaca
crew would he more likely to win at
two miles. And the undergraduates

last year to substantiatc their opinion.

Mack believes that his outiicld last

trio. He has 800 hitting combination
with plenty of speed, ground covering
