in the humble fourth flight where they

n YEW YORK, June 2S.-What a
IN store of thrills these Olympic
VI trials on the Schuylkill, July
4 S, s. Z. hold for the lover OF
sweep rowing.
Yale, California and Columbia are
three crews high above the normal
collegiate average, and no one may
with any warrant whatever speak con-
ndently concerning the prospects Of any
one Of the three defeating the other
two.
And who can say what other crews
may do? Princeton, for instance,
which started the season with bril-
liant promise, only to fail because of
breaks in the combination. due to ILL.,
ness and other misfortuneS. Harvard,
TOO. The Crimson showed lots of stuff
in the preliminary sprint regattas. and
in the four-mile tlresh on the Thames
was most obviously in terrific slump.
Nor is Rusty Callow through yet with
his Pennsylvania crew. The former
washington coach is unquestionably a
genius who is apt TO show something
any time, and place.
Should Be Great Races.
Certainly the Schuylkill River early
next month will be the scene of stirring
events, which no followers OF aquaticS
will miss voluntarily.
This Olympic business, by the way.
has effected Q condition which certain
coIlege rowing authorities for years have
discussed as highly deslrable-the meet
Ing Of all college crews in q series Of
regattas which will mark the culm1na-
ton Of the rowing season.
As the system goes at present, the
season sees q number of dual and tri-
angular races. capped by the four mile
events on the Hudson at PoughkeepSie
and on the Thames at New London.
All are important, but 1t has been felt
that the cause of American intercol-
legiate rowing would be furthered in q
material way If all the university crews
we're to be assembled In sort Of ma
taonal aquatic clearing house at the end
OF the season, the races to be held in
q collegiate environment and last for
a week The pattern. of course, would
be Henley week in England.
The idea has always sounded feasible
enough in theory. but practically Yale
and Harvard would not ordinarily con-
slider anything which would tend to
subordinate the Thames affair and the
intercollegiate Rowing Association.
In trust, would not wish to do any
thing TO diminish the Importance OF
this great intersectional event.
FfIIs Long Felt Need.
There is every reason to believe, how
ever, that the forthcoming Olympic
trials viii point very significantly to
the impulse which the sport Of swing
ing sweeps In competition in this coun-
try would receive were this general
series OF regattas to be held every year
as part of the intercollegiate sports
calendar instead of every four years.
II this year were not an Olympic
year there would be doubt in the minds
Of all as to the relative merits Of the
winners at Poughkeepsie and New Lon
don-aS there usually is Next month
this doubt wiz be resolved, and while
there Is no real necessity for the re-
vealment every year of the outstanding
national eight. no one can deny that
The process Is mighty interesting one
and beneficial too.

difficult for one not born to 1T,
there seemed to be perfection.
An amusing little feature run
