Deadly Fourth Mile May
Soon Be Only a Memory
By BRIGGS

Orange and Black represented in some
If the bigger races. The Navy, which
rowed at Poughkeepsie in 1907, is nm
tied to races of not more than one mile
and five-sixteenths, the Henley dls.
lance. This order might be changed IL
the distance of the big race IS reduced;
These colleges, unwilling to SEND
their crews into the longer races, might
be willing to affect a compromise ana
compete at three miles. The stewards
have been lamentin. the dlthculty IN
securing new crews for the races, and
it is the opinion of one OF the boaru
that this step may remove one or the
greatest barriers.
No invitations TO compete In the re-
gatta were sent out, nor Will any De
issued until after the next meeting IS
called. The question of invi atoms
was discussed, and while nothing ON
cial could be learned rumor had IT
that Syracuse took up more than
passing moment. II was said, however,
that the Orange crews probably would
be on the line when the gun was fired.
The decision to hold the race at
Poughkeepse was not unexpected, but
il dealt a blow 10 some who had hoped
TO shift the scene of this blue ribbon
event in American aquatics. Spring
field, Mass. has been trying to induce
the stewards to move the event from
the picturesque course on the Hudson
over TO the placid Connecticut.
Three-Mile Race at Saratoga
Although four-mile races have been
the order since 1895, when the Inter
collegiate Rowing Association was
founded, the 'varsities met in three
mile race over the course OH Saratoga
Lake in 1898. Pennsylvania won the
race in that year, covering the course
in Is minutes 81 " seconds.
Men prominent in rowing circles viii
hail the reduction in distance. "We
have come to regard four-mile races
for college crews as traditional" said
one man. 81, however, am heart and
soul in favor of reducing the distance
of this race Tradition is a wonderful
thing in its place, but when tradition
interferes with progress we must cast
it aside. ] think that the three-mile
race is long enough to test the en-
durance and rowing skill of crews.
"We copied our four-mile race from
the English, but the conditions are
somewhat different. The current on
the Thames is swifter by far than the
current on the Hudson or the Thames
at New London, and we row on scale
of about four and one-half miles to
four for the English. 1t takes our
crews twenty-one minutes to row four
miles. One could row almost five miles
on the Thames in England in that
time"
Charles Halstead Mapes. chairman
of the association, presided over the
meeting. Charles f. fireman, of Cor
nell, and +. Howard Eisenbray, Of
Pennsylvania, the other members of
the board of stewards, were present.

Rowing Stewards Seem to
Favor Cutting Distance
for College Classics
By FRANK O'NEILL

The deadly fourth mile" may soon
be only a memory in intercollegiate
racing. The advisability of reducing
the distance in the regatta at Pough-
keepsie from four miles to three was
discussed at length at meeting Of
the board of stewards of the Intercol-
lesiate Rowing Association held in the
Offices Of Charles Halstead Mapes yes
terday.
Although no definite action was
taken, IL is known that the stewards
are all in favor of reducing the dis
lance, and the measure may be adopted
at the next meeting Of the body, to be
held in February.
Regatta Dates Fixed
In addition TO discussing the matter
Of reducing the distance Of the race,
the stewards definitely fixed the date
of the intercollegiate regatta for this
year, and for 1918 as we'll The races
in 1917 will be held at Poughkeepsie, as
usual, on Thursday, June 81. The order
OF the events and the time at which
they will be rowed are as follows:
Junior varsity, at Alb o'clock; fresh
man Fights, $500 o'clock, and the var
sity Fights at o'clock AS usual, the
varsity Fights will be rowed when the
ebbing tide is strongest
The 1918 regatta will be held on
June 20, and the same order and times
will obtain.
Reducing the distance Of the POUCH
keepsie classic may work a great bene-
MT. IL may result in attracting more
crews to the course. Princeton, Wis
consin, and perhaps the Navy may be
invited TO compete, and there is more
than an even chance that the first two
will accept.
Wisconsin has sent her crews to the
Hudson in other years, but following
the regatta In 1914 abolished four-mile
rowing. This move was taken after an
investigation of the effect of the long
test on the after life of oarsmen. II
was said by the investigators that
oarsmen rowing such hard races were
frequent victims OF heart disease.
caused by the terrific strain. This con-
tention has been refuted by experts.
Tow Miles for Tigers
Princeton, when rowing was adopted
as a sport several years ago, limited
her crews to races of not more than
two miles. The Tigers have made re-
markable strides in rowing, and the
student body is eager to sec the

This comparison Is hardly fair to rye
because the crop IL almost always
