Old Man Courtney has put on his coat
With the rowing of the 22d annual regatta
of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association
at PoughlSeepsie, the Wizard of the Hud'
son quit his job as head coach OF the
Cornell navy. No more will he be seen
leaning over the rail Of the coaching launch
directing the big Red crews from Lake
Cayuga in the fine points of rowing, the
points which draw the line of demarcation
between victory. No more will an old
straw hat keep the hot sun out of pair
of shrewd yet soft blue eyes as they watch
the mahogany shells pierce the waters Of
this battle-scarred stream. For after more
than 30 years as the foremost coach of
rowing in American colleges, Charles L.
Courtney had decided to Join the rocking
chair fleet.
When the news of the Wizards con-
templated retirement first became known
il sounded as If Cornell too had decided
to give up rowing. The names Courtney
and Cornell have been linked together so
closely that rowing enthusiasts never
stopped to dfferentiate between. Cor
nell. Courtney and Victory have become
almost the eternal rowing triangle.

There is no doubt that he will be appointed
in an advisory capacity to the end of his
days. When things go wrong he will be on
hand to right them No price can be set on
the value of his experience. He has been
at Ithaca since 1880, Since the formation
of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association
in 1895 he has sent, excluding Saturdays
entrants, SO crews to the line at Pough-
keepsie and Saratoga Lake, where the race
was held in 1898. and he has had 80 of them

in varsity, junior and freshman races.
Courtneys crews hold every record on
the river on July 2, 1901, the varsity
eight drove its shell across the finish line
a mile below the Poughkeepsie Bridge in
lS minutes SO LIS seconds. The time for
most of the races has been around 20 min
utes The only time 1t was threatened
was in 1908, when another Cornell crew
slashed down the course In is minutes 5S
seconds The record for the freshman race
was made in 1909, the Ithaca clubs cover
ing the two miles in minutes IL 3-5 sec
onds. The discontinued race of two miles
for varsity fours is another Cornell record,
made July 2, 1909. 10 minutes l second.
Last year the CoFAell junior varsity raced
over the two miles in 10 minutes LIS sec
