Such a Return to Sail as to Make the Sport
More Popular Than Ever
By HERBERT L. STONE, in the Outlook.

It was freely predicted that the fine old sport Of sailing and salboat
racing was doomed-that the salboat or sailing yacht would soon be
obsolete, a thing Of the past. In the face Of the initial popularity of this
new form Of power it began to look for a while as if the craving for speed
and for covering the most miles in the shortest time, either afoat or
ashore, would supplant the lure Of the sail, with its dependence on natural
forces, and kill the urge to acquire the skill, resourcefulness and daring
that we recognize as marking the true sailor.
But these people didn't reckon with our heritage, didn't take into
account the amount Of salt still running in the veins Of our race, or gauge
the strength of the call of the ships. For, IN spite of a great war that
killed yacht sailing IS a sport for over three seasons, the last two years
have seen such a return to sail as to make the sport Sore popular than
it ever was before and to give the lie to those who figured that the dust
of the roads II the fumes of burned gas would be al-suficient for the
American boy.
For be it known that the finest thing about this reawakened interest
is the fact that the bulk Of those camorng to get aaoat under canvas are
youngters-n new generation that has grown to youth and manhood since
the advent Of the gasengine and Of our entrance into the war.

is an oversupply of coaches, but
no players in sight. When a

Use at the game, he goes to
summer school and becomes a
coach. In that way he cuts
down the journey to fame by
about four years.
These classroom coaches have
discovered that it is much cas-.
Ter to tell others how to score
touchdowns than to do it them
selves. The coach is always safe.
If his eleven fails, all that he
has to say is that the players
failed to do as he told them.
