YALE CREW USES
VERY SHORT STROKE
Blue and Penn Work Out Over
SchuylkiII Course for Big
Race on Saturday

There is an even split in the dope over
the outcome of the Penn Yale race on
the Henley course Saturday afternoon
Neither crew is OvercOnfidcnt and the
coaches. Joe Wright and Guy Nickalls,
are not saying much. That the crews
are evenly matched was shown by their
final workouts on the upper Schuylkill
river yesterday afternoon.
What slight favor has been shown the
Penn oarsmen was based manly on the
fact that the Red and Blue shells were
on the water earlier than those of old
Eli Yesterday. however. the positive
statement was made at the Penn head
quarters that Nale's first she'll slid onto
brackish waters on the very same day
that Pcnn's did.
Ialc's crew has had more experience
than has PcnnS. They are husky eight
and in prime condition. They appeared
physically perfect when they took the
water yesterday afternoon,
There is slight difference between
tho stroke used by the two crews. To
begin with Yale uses an English made
boat. using a shorter stroke with more
body movement than Penn. The slide in
the Yale boat is only sixteen inches in
length. The Penn eight uses long sweep
on 'thc twenty inch slide. 1T is the
natural way Of rowing" says Coach
Wright. H'rs.sH ..:..h

out on the river putting on the finishing
touches for the race Saturday afternoon

The personnel of the two crews is built

means Of self-support. This work is
enormous. 1t involves the nursing of
the sick, the fighting Of certain depor-
tation cases, etc.
What the committee could accom-
plish in Europe at the very utmost
was merely to study the problems of
the coming immigration and the most
important duties of American Jews to-
ward their brothers and sisters, on the
other side Of the ocean, ready, with
their bundles on their backs, to seek
new homes in the New World.
Would it be possible, perhaps, to in
terest the Joint Distribution Commit
tee in this important work L?
The Joint Distribution Committee
has organized committees, which are
doing relief work in almost every i'm
portant Jewish center of Europe. To
be sure, the immigration to America
is not a direct part Of its work, but
since the purpose Of the Joint Distri-
button Committee is to aid the Euro
pean Jews who have suffered through
the war, surely then, to aid those Jews
who have been so stricken that they
must find new home comes within
that purpose and is part of its du-
ties. At present, the Joint Distribution
Committee is building bungalows in
the cities of Europe for those Jews
that are in need Of shelter. Why could
it not in the same manner build bar.

Last September he visited America,

cribed to them the great need of the
Rumanian Jews, and much Of the work
which the Joint Distribution Commit

Rumanian Jews in America, and large

OUR NEW IMMIGRANTS.
By G.. s.


Copyright, 1920, by |. ]. p. b.
What are we doing in anticipation
Of the new wave Of Jewish immigra-
ton from all the countries Of Eastern
Europe?
In England preparations for the
wanderers have already begun. Tele-
grams bring the news that British
shipping organizations are now build
ing barracks near Southampton which
will hold two thousand immigrants at
a time.
At Paris and Danzig the new immi-
grafton is already being felt. From
Paris we are informed Of the great
difficulties which the Jewish immi-
grants meet there until they succeed
in boarding a vessel. In Danzig they
are kept for days and weeks, and lose
the chance Of travelling with the first
and second boats that leave the harbor,
simply because the Jewish immigra-
ton is not organized. The Jews take
the wandering staff in their hands
with counsel from God, and with the
usual Jewish reliance upon their Heav-
emily Father to guide them to safety.
And there are already the protests
Of groups Of Jewish immigrants
against their mistreatment by the
steamship lines. They are denied the
most elementary human necessities.
They are treated like step-children, al
though they are charged swollen pri-
ces for their tickets.
The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society Of New York sent
commission to Europe to organize as
much as possible the immigration to
the United States. II alone, however,
is too weak to undertake the huge
task Of supervising the migratory
wave from its source to the American
shore. We must not forget that the
work Of the Hebrew Sheltering is to
care for the immigrants from the mo-

Poland have long ceased.
The Joint Distribution Committee
can and must become its legal heir in
this work, and together with the He
brew and Immigrant Aid Society, it
can accomplish much to tighten the
burden Of the Jewish immigrants to
America.
