The Varsity Race at Poushksspsis.
There has been little recent agitation
In favor of changing the distance Of
the varsity race at Poughkeepsie from
four to three miles, and the failure Of
those interested In the suggestion to
press the issue points to the conclusion
that they have become convinced either
Of an error Of judgment on their part
or that the task Ii hopeless. At any
rate. the distance will be the same
next June as 1t has been in the past
The main point raised against the four
mile race was that 1t proved too great
a strain ON the oarsmen. In fact. this
was the only argument for a. spec
tacle and as contest the longer event
has much to recommend 1t. aside from
the traditions with which 1t Is sur.
rounded. On the question Of injury
there is a difference of opinion even
among men qualified to Judge, but the
majority of those who have expressed
their views have held that there was
only slightly greater strain in rowing
four miles.
