With the idea of again interesting
Wisconsin in this race. which return
ed to Poughkeepsie in 1921. and
drawing Princeton into the event, the
stewards set the distance at three
miles.
This distance obtained in 1912
and last year. 1t proved attractive
to Wisconsin, whose crew came to
Poughk eepsie last Summer and fin
ished second to the Washington
eight.
Princeton Abandons Race.
Princeton authorities, who have
steadfastly opposed any distance over
two miles, were not interested in the
three-mile distance and this year de-
clined to train their oarsmen for
this distance.
Whether the Poughkeepsie stew
ards have ordered wisely remains to
be sGen. The late Charles f. Court
ney of Cornell, who probably knew
more about rowing and its practical
effects upon oarsmen than any coach
who ever lived, was a strong pro-
ponent OF the three-mile race.
DR. Spaeth, the Princeton coach,
also a member of the faculty in the
English department, rowed the four
mile distance as an undergraduate
at the University Of Pennsylvania.
His brief against the long distance
race for college oarsmen has nothing
to do with the actual rowing OF a
four-mile race. His contention is
that the time required TO train an
eight for the distance involves the
great objection, while equally great
is the enormous development of the
heart muscles.
IT, says DR.. Spaeth, "our oarsmen
Evening star., 1925-01-28

We're to enter vigorous occupations
after graduation, if they were TO
hustle cargo, run mule teans and the
like, then they would have ideal
heart development for the work. But
practically all Of them enter seden-
tary occupations and do not keep up
their exercise. And the results cannot
be good"
Heart Strain Great.
A man close to Harvard athletics
said to the writer that in spite of
profound medical opinions as to the
harmlessness of long distance rowing
he knows former Harvard oarsmen In
their early forties who have found Il
necessary to drop tennis and to take
things easy generally.
Out on the Pacific coast they row
the three mile distance and find il
very satisfactory. There is no doubt
that any Washington crew the writer
has seen could as easily have been
prepared for the extra mile But they
may we'll ask out there what is the
sense of the additional strain In
volved. And Wisconsin may ask that
question, too.
Perhaps coaches, rowing stewards
and the like, who so blithely order
the four-mile distance might proceed
more cautiously were they obliged
themselves to row it or have their
sons do so.
And in any event, the four-mile race
is but a slavish imitation Of the Ok
ford Cambridge regatta. on the
Thames, in which, by the way. q
strong tide does fair share of the.
