HUDSON RIVER MAY BE SCENE
OF INTERCOLLEGIATE RACES

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE old
Poughkeepsie course, site OF the an
nual intercollegiate rowing regatta,
may be abandoned after this year.
The regatta itself may be changed
and a full week Of rowing on the
more suitable course substituted for
the time-honored event
The chances of These things com
ing to pass naturally depend on &C
ton by the intercollegiate Rowing
Association, and while comparatively
few rowing critics believe that such .
change is likely in the immediate fu-
ture there is better than good
chance that 1t will be made eventual
ly.
Coach Jim Rice, OF Columbia Uni
versity's oarsmen, is strong for
shift away from Poughkeepsie. Rice
considers the Poughkeepsie regatta
obsolete and believes that a week OF
rowing races on course such as
could be had at Pelham Bay should
be instituted in it's place.
Rice is not alone in this BELIEF, by
any means, for Coach Joe Wright, of
Pennsylvania. Is in favor of moving
away from Poughkeepsie to course
where big crowds could be accommo-
dated and at a place easily reached
by thousands of lovers OF sport who
do not attend the Poughkeesie event
because OF a sad lack of accommoda-
tons. Rice points out that should the
annual intercollegiate rowing event
be heightened to week of rowing
and staged at suitable place II
would draw more than 100000 specta-
tors.
The Poughkeepsie course is easy
enough to reach for New York devo-
tees OF rowing, but after they once
get there accommodate are far
from what they should be. Last year
the big rowing event had to be moved
to Lake Cayuga because the rail-
roads found IL impossible to furnish
observation trains. This year the
West Shore road has expressed doubt
that IL will be able to run an observa-
ton train, and the idea OF camping at
some point along the course does not
appeal to the rowing fan, who likes
to watch every stage OF the race.
While sentiment will lead some
rowing devotces and perhaps sens
