COLLEGES STILL SPLIT
ON CREW RACE LENGTH
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, February LIT is by
no means a certainty that the Pough-
keepae stewards will vote definitely
one way or the other on the matter
of extending the three-mile regatta
to four miles. This is to say that the
deadlock as to the distance for the
annual June race which developed
out of the January conference may
not be broken at the meeting to be
held here tomorrow.
If no feeling develops over the stu
alton the fact of the deadlock may
result in retention OF the three-mile
route. It IS. however. difficult to say
what will happen in view of the fact
that Columbia and Syracuse on the
one hand are SO ardently committed
in favor of the longer distance and
Pennsylvania and Cornell welded to
the three-mile idea
With the situation thus an opinion
from the middle west. where rowing
is about to be taken up on a fairly
wide scale, may be found valuable.
DR.. John W. Wilce. director of ath-
letics at Ohio State University. was g.
sin crew in his student days and
rowed in the four-mile regatta at
Poughkeepsie two successive years.
Although" he writes II personally
enjoyed rowing under the old four
mile system, I incline to the opinion
that the three-mile race Is somewhat
preferable because of the probability
of lesser strain on the oarsmen. par
ticularly with reference to the heart
frankly feel that the two-mlle race
would be just as satisfactory.
"I believe both intramural and in
tercollegiate eight-oared rowing could
be based on two-mile racing with an
occasional three-mile race with the
same elements of enjoyment and good
sport-and with fewer of the dangers
of over indulgence.
'Incidently, believe, a shorter dis
tance would open the intercollegiate
field to institutions. which might have
facilities for training for shorter dis
tances. where they would be unable
to prepare for the classic four miller.
I believe this is the case at Michi-
gan and I am sure 1t would be the
case at Ohio State, where we hope
In the near future to take up eight

q IGNALS. The center should
approach his position by COM
- ing up from the rear. When
about two full steps from it, he
should stop, glance at the forward
giving the signal and then take his
position. The other players should
catch the signal at this time. In
order to do so they should avoid
getting behind their opponents at
this moment.
Teams should change signals sew
eral times a season. This makes
it most difficult for the opposition
to get them in advance-the real
danger. You see, opposing players
rarely have a chance to dope out
your signals during game. Usually
they are too busy getting their own
at the same time. 1t is the coach
and the opposing subs who fathom
them during contest.
The best signal system is to flnd
the weakest point of the other team
and direct your plays there. Dur
ing the past few seasons some
coaches have been giving the sig
nails from the bench. Amateurs
considered this unsportsmanlike. II
should not be done.

In Purcell's about fifteen years ago.
