PADDING REGATTA
ON POTOMAC SUNDAY

The annual regatta of the Della
ware Chesapeake division of the Amer
lean Canoe Racing Association will be
staged here next Sunday under the
auspices of Washington Canoe Club
instead of on Labor day as previously
announced.
While crews from at least half a
dozen of the leading clubs of this sec
ton will attend the annual affair. the
big feature of the water carnival will
be the first meeting on local waters
of Potomac Boat Club and Washing
ton Canoe Club paddlers.
Teams of the two organizations
have met in a finish fight in practi-
cally every regatta they have attended
during the Summer, the Washington
men winning out on several occasions,
but the Potomacs evening the score
on others. AS the Potomac Club cap
tured eight of the national half-mile
championships at Burlington, y. j..
last Saturday, while the Washingtons
took only four, the latter will be out
for blood on Sunday.
Crews are expected from the Mary
land Swimming Club of. Baltimore, the
Lakanoo Boat Club of Burlington, n.
j., the Red Dragon Canoe Club of
Edgewater Park. N. j., and the Old
Dominion Boat Club OF Alexandria.
The Young Mems Association of
Bristol, N. j., and the Tuscarora Club
of Newark, n. j., may possibly be
represented as well.
Senior events on the program be-
ginning at o'clock are for single and
double blade singles and the Red
Dragon trophy race. Junior numbers
are Identical with the exception of
the latter event

MISS EDERLE LOSES
SUPERB CONFIDENCE
By the Associated Press.

CAPE Girls NEZ, France Sep
tember l. Gertrude Ederle during
the past two days seemingly has lost
that superb confidence which was
hers when she made her first attempt,
August IS, to swim the English
Channel from France to England.
Since her failure to cross the turbu-
lent stretch of sea she has been
brooding; she has more respect for
the old waterway than before she
eSsayed to master 1t.
Miss Ederle had expected to get
away from Girls Nez at o'clock this
morning. but the channel last night
was kicking up such seas that it
would have been hard work for
small vessels to cross it. Previously
the water had been very calm, and
when the change suddenly came late
yesterday the American girl called
off her Tuesday morning trial and set
it for Wednesday morning at Z
O'Clock.
Meanwhile the season is working
against her. The water. of q fairly
mild temperature several days ago,
daily is growing colder, and in addi.
tion, as September advances, fogs
join with the tempestuous seas to
make the channel a place of discom-
fort even for the regular channel
boats. Therefore Miss Ederle must
make her effort quickly or give up the
project for this year.
The correspondent or the Asso
ciated Press yesterday showed the
American mermaid pictures Of her
father and mother at their New Jer-
sey Summer home printed in a New
York newspaper and let her read the
story accompanying them. In it the
parents expressed themselves as not
being discouraged over "Trudy's''
failure.
When the girl read her father
words, ''Trudy will beat the old chan
mel yet" tears welled In her eyes and
she said with a sob: II must do it for
them: I must try 1t again. must,
must"

Editor of The Evening Star.
Dear Sir:
There is no doubt that American uni
yersities are threatened by commercial
ism in foot ball.
But the system in vogue in our con-
ference seems to me to be q fairly good
check against such tendencies.
At Northwestern University we have
no graduate manager. The chairman OF
of Latin. His committee is composed
exclusively of members of the faculty
and has fun control of athletics.
Conditions at Northwestern are so
utterly different from those described by
the Graduate Manager that / am unable
to criticize or approve his articles What
he says may be true of many universi-
ties
thank you for the privilege OF read
ing his articles in advance.
Very truly

Ruddy Knepper's "a yesterday in the

his ball. Ruddy hesitated with club

and the grasshopper took a JOY ride,

he pitched to the thirteenth green.
