R0lUing Coach
Courtney Is Dead
Continued fion rage Ono


race on Cayuga lake was a crude,
clumsy looking craft which weighed
eighty pounds; and he was ridiculed
when he rode out to the starting point
to line up abreast of number of older
their little thirty pound shells. But
when the finish line was reached, at
the end of the three mile course, Court
ney in his clumsy boat was half a mile
ahead of the next best man.
Winner in Ninety Contests
That was the beginning of Courtney s
brilliant sculling career, during which
as an amateur he rOwed in nearly ninety
contests and won them all.
As professional sculler Courtney
won thirty nine races against some Of
the best oarsmen in the country and
was defeated only seven times. An
attack of sunstroke in 1878 marked the
beginning of his decline as a profession
al sculler; and in May, 1870. while
rowing against Hanlan and Riley at
Washington, Courtney was attacked by
illness before he had gone 500 yards,
and that ended his active career as a
competitor.
Early in the sos the Cornell Uni
versity students were aging the foun-
IST6 the ithaca oarsmen had defeated
all tbe crack college crews OF the coun
try at Saratoga lake, but it was not
until Courtney took charge that Cor
nell was firmly established in rowing.
He went there as coach in 1888 and
from that time on the record Of Cornell
crews under his direction surpassed
that of any American university or col
lege.
