twelve games of the schedule. These
were road games. In the meantime

Famous Canadian Oarsman to Whip
Red and Blue Crews Into Shape.
Joe Wright. the Canadian oarsman.
succeeds Vivian Nickalls as coach of
the University of Pennsylvania crews.
The committee having the matter in
charge received vast number Of ap-
plications for the position, more than
sixty, it is said, and selected Wright
after considering the question from
every angle.
Joe Wright was a great oarsman in
his day, and ut dfty-fve Years Of age
has proved a successful coach of club
crews. If given the right kind of sup
port he should make good at Pennsyl-
vania, fer he knows the rowing game
thoroughly. Moreover he goes to Penn
sylyania without q salary, having
agreed to give his services free for one
season in order TO prove that he can
make a success OF coaching college
crews. Should he make good, Wright
will abandon his amateur standing
which he has guarded carefully fer so
many years. ana take mp coaching as Il
business.
Wright for nearly thirty years has
been Il postmaster at his home in Can
ada and this has enabled him to give
much of his time to rowing matters
without in any way interfering with
his money making. He is an enthusi-
asst ON rowing and an exceptional man
in many ways. He is one of the best
oars ever developed IN America and
can hardly fail to prove successful at
