Distance Runners Is
Biggest Olympic
Worry.

The worry of the Olympic
coaches is the uncertainty of
high-class distance running on
the team which will go to
Paris in June. The recent out
door meets showed that there
is plenty of high-class material
for the sprints and the hurdles,
and the Penn and Drake relays
by no means brought forth all
the available talent which will
come forth in the try-outs in
June.
Members of the Olympic
committee attended the Penn
relays and had reason to be
pleased with many Of the per-
formances. arning was
sounded a year ago about the
distance runners, but the warn
ing evidently was not needed,
because it now looks as if
there was going to be a serious
scarcity of distance runners on
the American team.

on efforts to retain the intercol.
legiate championship won on the
Hudson last year, will establish
training quarters at Poughkeepsie
two ~weeks in advance of the title
race. slated for June II. This was
announced yesterday by Maxwell
Stevenson, chairman of the board
Of stewards Of the intercollegiate
Rowing Association. after receipt of
word that the Huskies would
send their squad East on May 20,
arriving here June 3.
Washington will be represented

donors. The Washington freshman
eight. which finished second to Cor.
nell in a sensational race last June,
will not come East again. however.
The Huskies have abandoned all
other competitive appearances in

GOLF LINKS No
TOMB FOR
VANCE

Dazzy Vance, the Brooklyn speed
pitcher, is a pretty fair golfer. He
can shoot around 80 without much
trouble. The other day he was dis
cussing golf and baseball and
brought up the topic Of noise on
the golf links. Vance, being &C.
customed to the cheers and jeers
Of large baseball crowds at the ball
parks, cannot understand why most
golfers are so sensitive to noise.
Vance pointed out that the
majority Of ball players can con-
centrate their attention on baseball
so closely that the noise of the
crowds does not bother them. He
says he can play golf, and his
partner can talk to him all the time
while he is making a shot, and it
does not bother him.
If in the beginning golf had
started out to be noisy game, the
players would not mind it. But It
began as a quiet game and will al.
ways be quiet. OF course, there are
some golfers who are oversensitive
to noise, and the least sound while
they are making a shot throws
them off their game. If golfers
were as accustomed to ignoring
noise as ball players, they would
not mind it, either. The player at
any game can learn to concentrate
If he keeps at 1t long enough.

rule rescinded. 1t was pointed
out that Richards not only stated
that those in control of the tennis
association are sincere in their wish
to help the game, but added that
he considered that they were sup
ported by the sentiment OF the
majority, as evidenced by the vote
in favoN of the player-writer rule at
the last general meeting.
1t was understood today, however,
that Richards action will have no

This was first taught by the

men of the world. 1t made Yale
supreme over Harvard for many
years. The fact that Bob grew too
old to. instruct in his system is
what caused the Ellis to supplant it
Jby another style OF stroke.
Yale was never able, to fully mas.
ter the stroke that Nickalls at.
tempted to instruct. The long,
slow body swing that is so charac-
teristic of British crews was never
mastered by the lads at New
Haven. AS a result their rowing
always appeared to- be Of the
choppy sort, as the catch was taken
before the men were in proper posi-
ton to dip their oars. The finish
Of the stroke was never carried out
like it was meant to be by the
British coach.

structiOn by the members Of the
crew I'm developing the muscles of
the abdomen to Withstand the long
reach and late finish initiated
against their rowing as well as
they would have had they had
more early experience in shell.
The stroke that Yale will use on
Saturday is one that calls for q
clean, sharp, heavy catch, a hard
leg drive and a snappy recovery.
1t differs from the British style
both in the reach and recovery.
After the hands of the oarsmen

other in the attempt to get their
hands out SO that their arms are
outstretched. 1t is this motion
which give the shell its carry be-
tween strokes.
If the men are fast in getting
their hands away, the shell will
d1ave "a good run" between strokes.
If the seats are properly rugged
and the men do not rush their
slides the shell will have little, If
any, check in its forward motion.
The fault with the British stroke
as used at New Haven was that
the Ellis did not appear to get the
maximum amount of power out of
their labors. The men worked
hard, but the antiquated rigging as
