battle was there much interest Just decade
ago he died and with him passed CornelIs
supremacy on the water Since his death no
Cornell varsity has been able to drive the nose
of its shell first across the finish line in tn,
Poughksepsie regatta.
A ND now this year Cornell is sending to the
Hudson the most looking crew that
has come down from Cayuga Lake since the
days when the old master turned out champion
eights with monotonous regularity. So when
the slim shells slide under the railroad bridge
this Thursday 100000 eyes are going to follow
the Cornell boatload through the battle of that
last long mile, wondering if they can pull the
trick that other Cornell crews used to find so
eaSy-after Courtney had shown them how.
He was capable of showing them how, and
no mistake, for he was one OF the greatest
masters of rowing in the history Of the sport
and, perhaps, It's most colorful figure. He was
born back in 1849 on the shores of Cayuga
Lake, where in later years he was to win his
fame, and he literally grew up on the water.
He was only 10 when he rowed and won his
first race. Although he was competing against
much older and more experienced man and his
craft was much heavier, he won the three
mile contest by the tremendous margin Of half
mile! During the nine years that he raced
as an amateur Courtney participated in SO
regattas and he won them all! Later as a
professional Sculler, lie took part In As races
and won all but Z of them
With this unusual record to recomm md him.
Courtney was engag d as head coach of the
Cornell navy in 1888, and he enjoyed tremen-
dous success almost from the start. His varsi-
ties won IA out of % Poughkeepsie regattaS-a
remarkable record, truly. Twice he won the
rowing classic three years in successon-from
1901 to 1908 and from 1905 to 1907. And his
greatest record was four successive victorieS-in
1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. Some one one
credited Courtn-y with starting the Pough-
keepSie regatta. That isn't true, but he did
come very near finishing it. so monotonous did
CornellS victories become.
Much of 'the old mans" success has BEEN
laid to the fact that he was an iron disciple
marian All of his rigid training rules had to
be scrupulously obeyed or drastic action fol-
lowed Immediately no matter how valuable the
unlucky miScreant might be as mm oarsman.
There are two stories Of Pop" Courtney's
strict discipline that have become classics among
crewmen. The first goes back to 1897 Ths
Poughkeepsie regatta that year was only a
short time away when the coach discovered
inadvertently that the members of his varsity
crew had broken training table rules by secretly
indulging in strawberry shortcakeI The coach

III All together, pow-the stroke IL
~ going up"
Nine long, sleek racing sheAs
slide under the towering railroad
bridge which spans the Hudson at Poughkeepsie
as nine leather-lunged little tyrants at the
tiller ropes crouch low at their posts in the
stern sheets, exhortng the faSt-wearying oars
men to take her up, take her up!"
AS the spidery network of the huge steel
bridge slips astern, more than 100 900 followers
Of intercollegiate boat racing will look down
from the high river banks, from the Hudson
day liners or private yachts, or from the long
observation train that winds along the rocky
shore, and they will thrill to the magnificent
spectacle that will be reaching its climax just
as the shadows lengthen over the course Thurs
day evening.
Above the muffied clank of the oarlocks and
the rhythmic rumble Of the sliding seats, and
above the occasional grunts and sighs of the
sweep swingers IS they bend to their task, the
shrill, hoarse commands of the coxswains ring
out:
Let's go nowI Keep it longi Keep it longl"
Come on, No. 5! Get your oar in with the
rest!"
Hold that slide out, bow! You come down
like roller coaster"
"Three-quarters Of q mile to go! You're
rowing thirty -eight-get it up!"
All Of his remarks aren't confined to the
men in his own crew. Occasionally he win
bark an adjective or two at another boat. Two
years ago at Poughkeepsie the Washington
coxswain, after exchanging some rather acri-
moniouS shouts with the Columbia helmsman,
suddenly called: Move over, Columbia! Move
over! You're giving us your backwash!'
You can keep it," the Columbia coxswain
flashed back at him. Were through with it!"
And then, without pausing for breath he was
shouting at his own crew again: Get it up!
Get it up!"
Barking, shouting, pleading, the dynamic lit
tie fellows urge their men incessantly to super
human efforts in that spirit breaking last mile,
from the Poughkeepsie Bridge to the end OF
the course. The towering span has settled
many race. That is where the real race be-
gins, regardless of what has happened during
the previous three miles
WHENEVER coach sees a crew setting a
sustained fast pace in the early part of
the four-mile test he usually remarks, with a
trace Of finality THE Bridge for them" He knows
that they won't have any reserve strength
left when the stroke goes up and the going
gets hot down that last long mile.

In the section where the sons Of wild jackasses" are

Of the West and South and to fight Wall Street"
Should the coalition take place Borah Of Idaho and
Robinson Of Arkansas are expected TO be the big

voting the straight ticket on election day and raising
hades with republican legislative programs 364 of the
365 days Of the year.
Borah is going to take the stump. he is for the re-
election Of al the progressive senators. He is for the
debenture plan. He Is as gloomy as Dean Inge Of
London and he was brought 70 Texas in 1928 to tell
the voters that the way to continue prosperity

The Once Over
INA DoD0 ON n YACHT RACES
Copyright. 1880, by The Associated Newspapers

Dear Editor:
We'll, I have been following the international yacht
races and you viii have to pardon my yawning. The
whole idea Is lost on me. anyhow, and / think It
would be Just as much in keeping with the times to
stage o race between a couple Of surface cars, tally
no or high-wheeled bicycles.
It was a big mistake to throw out those other boats,
the weetamoe, Yankee and Whatziss, and limiting
II to q two-boat contest. especially when you consid-
or that It would take at least a dozen boats TO make
it even fairly exciting. They should have pooled all
the boats, including the Shamrock. and then chosen
sides. This is the only way Sir Thomas Upton could
get q break. as It has been proven many times that
he can't accomplish anything with one vessel.
$500
II the committee had let Upton have the Sham
roik, the Yankee and the whirlwtnd and let America
be represented by the Enterprise and the weetamce
It would have been a better spectacle. although 1t now
looks as If awarding the Shamrock to Liptons side
would have been a dirty trick. II we were as sporty
as we claim to be we would let Upton have the Sham
rock one day and we would take It the next. The
only point is that once we had taken it off his hands
Sir Thomas might be too foxy to let US give II back
to him again.
I saw the first two races myself and If you have
insomnia Lney are the IllnB lOE YOU. - you CaAi
stay awake during an international yacht race you
are beyond cure. I can't tell you what a big disap-
pointment the first race was TO me. What got me
was the complete lack of hurry on anybodys part.
1t was the only race I ever saw In which no haste
was shown. The two boats drifted up to the mark
SO slowly that at first ! thought they we're trying 20
get out Of the engagement altogether.
The skipper of each ship appeared to be giving a
lesson in dignity and poise and 1t looked to me as *
they were bored with the business before the race
had been on fifteen minutes. They didn't even ex-
change hard looks. II the ships had ever been close
enough I am sure one Of the shippers would have in
vited the other over to lunch and q game OF pinochle-
Well, things went on that way for five or six hours.
with no change in the position Of the boats, and
when 1t was all over 1t was a great relief to every
body. A lot Of spectators couldn't make out whether
it was a yacht race or a Senate filibuster.
I am off international yacht racing and am going
to fill the aching void in my life with chess lessons
and turtle derhies.
Yours truly.
