lapse, and because his own crew-nates had
known him for a brave man and had never
thought less of him, Peter Haley had never
mentioned the incident to his sons.
Then AL Haley had caught a crab and from
Seattle to Annapolis wherever men rowed and
slim rowing shells cut water, the Haleys were
marked family. Al Haley had come back to
Poughkeepse when Dan was sophomore and
talked to him before the race.

I've had a bad taste in my mouth for three
wears. The old mans had the same at least as
long. You win today. and we'll feel better"
He had felt very noble, Dan remembered.
Very noble and very tense. And then he had
tried too hard. Coming down the last mile
leading as AIS boat had led three years before
straining desperately to keep the boat up, to
row in good form, it had happened. Suddenly
he had done all the things he was not to do.
He had felt the Others gradually lose their
rhythm. their precision. Slides hit hard
against stops by the disorder, he let the oar
handle turn slightly in his big hands, and 1t
hit him under the ribs. Like AL before him
he had caught crab.
He would remember always the next few
minutes as the boat drifted rather than rowed
down the river, hopelessly beaten. And the
next days papers all commenting on how

like his brother and his father, he had failed.
After the race he had felt lost, had even cried
a little. All and his father made him dress on a
friends yacht, away from the other oarsmen.
Dan did not see them until the following fall.
Murtaugh, the coach. never mentioned
what had happened. But when Dan came out
for early crew practice the next year, he was
on the junior varsity the jayvee. He had
stayed there for two years. He was still on it.
1t occurred to him now that he had been
oddly meek, as though he had deserved no
better lot Only once, in the spring of this,
his senior year, had he ever approached
Murtaugh.
Listen" he had said that time to Muir
taugh, you know I'm better oarsman than
most of them in the varsity boat, maybe
better stroke than Cowalt."
Murtaugh had shrugged. "On paper you're
the best oarsman around"
Cold was Murtaugh like deepwater or
steel. Dan had looked at him and walked off.
Dan remembered all these things, lying in
the sun on the float. He heard voices and
looked up as Murtaugh leaped from the
coaching launch onto the float A quarter mile
off the varsity was heading in from its last
workout before the race the next day.
Too much sun, Haley" Murtaugh said

AN tried to watch the eight cared
shell come down the Hudson, but
the sunlight glancing fatty from
0 the river hit his eyes, so that he
shut them and turned face downward. His
long, almost naked body was dark from the
sun, and the sun beat hotly upon his back and
made the boards of the float he lay on warm
beneath him. Lying in the heat, he could
sometimes become drowsy and sleep and for
get the thoughts which had been with him so
strongly these last three weeks.
He had not known the three weeks in the
boat-house could be so bitter. or he would
never have come to Poughkeepsie to stroke
Junior varsity crew. His mind browsing now
in that gray border land between sleep and
waking where the past may be recalled more
easily than at any other time, thought again
of his brother, Al. who had been before him
at the school, of himself Dan, who had failed
and made AIS failure appear worse, and OF
his father, who, a generation ago, had, in
another race, also failed.
All Haley had been good stroke-oar. Five
wears ago when he had been senior, his crew
had come into the last mile at Poughkeepsie,
caught crab and lost the race. Then out OF a
buried past, past neither AL nor Dan knew
about, the newspapers reswrected the tale OF
. the failure of another Haley Pete, father OF Al
and of Dan. Peter Haley had collapsed in a
boat race once after lying sleepless most of the
night previous with toothache. He had
never told anyone of the reasons for his col

Dan rose from the warm planks He wanted |
to say: What difference will it make? Since
when are you bothered about what dor"
But he only rose without speaking and
stood in the shadow of the boat house to
watch the varsity come in. They stepped from
the shell at Grogan's orders, swung it over
their heads, wheeled in a quarter-crcle and
marched into the boat-house. They didn't
notice Dan. Grogan, the coxswain, following
after the others, alone nodded briefly. This
crew was cocky. Dan saw, on edge from the
long training period. speaking more sharply
than ever the strange language of youth. The
language which made them say headache"
when they meant "heartache" and caused
them to curse at those they liked and be
polite to those they didn't like. They had
been polite to Dan for long while.
Suddenly he hated them. Stony Thomas
and Bob Miller, Swiderski and Ghee Layden.
and Butch Cowalt, the stroke. Hated them
all. But the hatred passed quickly.
He turned away. Three Haleys; three
failures. Dan felt heavy and tired. He went
to bed early and slept longer and deeper than
ever before that spring.
Cowalt was not at breakfast, and Mmtaugh
was late. He looked white and haggard.
What the matter with Butch?" Swiderski
said.
"Sick stomach - that's ALL" Mutaugh
drank black coffee without taking the cup
from his lips.
Twill he be able to row." Stony Thomas
said.
II don't know" Murtaugh said in his fiat
voice. We've got him dosed with everything
from soda to hot water bags, but he's been up
all night"
How nice" said Ghee Layden, but no one
else spoke.
Dan Haley rose Some strong, nameless
excitement moved in him. If Cowalt couldn't
row, Dan would have to stroke the varsity
boat. AS he stood, he caught the Others eyes.
They didn't like him. They had never known
this before. But now, knowing that he must
stroke them if Cowalt couldn't, they found
that they disliked him.
Some great irony almost made Dan laugh
at them. But he turned away and walked to
the float and in the shadow of the boat house
sat looking at the water. He sat there alon
all morning.
1t was noon when Murtaugh came to Da,
and stood looking at him. There were dee
lines under Murtaughs eyes, but the fac
showed no emotion. "Cowalt can't row." +

INDIANA art traditionislists to-
Il day arrayed themselves for
finish battle with Wilbur D. Peat,
John Heron Museum director,
over the method of selecting pic
lures for the Indiana Artists Elk
hibition.
Mr.. Peat today demanded that
E. E. Speniner. a traditionialist,
appoint a committee of sympathe-
tic artists to GO over the files for
the last five exhibitions. judged by
out-of-state juries. and to search
for any evidence Of political con-
troll or Cza-iSm."
Mr.. Peat said he was calling for
the appointment of the committee
and the investigation first. to
clear me of these insinuations Of
intrigue. and second. to assist in
formulating a better and more
honest plan" of judging exhibit
tons.

a juror, or the quality Of the
prize pictures-any more than
anyone should be interested in my
personal opinion of these.
L will agree that jurors, no
matter how carefully selected, can
surprise one greatly by their de-
cisionS. But if the present sys-
TEN is politically corrupt and if
the part 1 play in the system has
come to be a pernicious influence
as has been charged, then 1 am
pleased to take this initial STEP"
Mr.. Peat also demanded that
the committee identify artists who
have not entered competition in
the last five years and to ask them
why; to analyze the national
standings of jurors in the last
five years; to determine if the art
lists have been painting primarily
for the juries, and 20 use all that
in their final verdic-
about the matter.
This year a regionalist painting
of a Negro baptism. done in
manner traditionialists say is
foreign to all precedent of the art
Of thestate, was selected by Grant
Wood, Iowa regionalist, and
Henry Geogre Keller. Cleveland,
as winner.
TRADITIONALISTS objected.
i Moreover they resented Bit
terly Mr.. Woods flippant indict-
ment of their principles. E. E.
Spenner, a traditionialist. chal-
lenged Mr.. Peat on the fairness
of out-of-state juries, and charged
political manipulation and Czarsm.
In a letter addressed to Mr..
Spenner and made public by Mr..
Peat, he said:
Il am still to be convinced that
your newspaper interview which
appeared in The indianapolis
Times on March IL was not di-
rect attack upon my honesty in
selecting the jury for the exhibit
ton.
There is nothing dishonest
about 'Czarism' or a political sys-
tenn, but in places where these
forms are not conStitutionally &C
cepted. such words become SYM
bols of dishonesty and intrigue
and you certainly used them in
this latter spirit in your interview"

WAGE RELIGIOUS
CONTROVERSY
OVER BELIEFS.
Battle Carried on in Court
of Public Opinion, the
London Times.
Bg Science Service

BU Science Sefttce
LONDON, March Is. - The Eng
lish are having their own battle Of
Dayton.
Instead, however, Of fighting over
whether man is descended from
monkeys, the compatriots of evolu-
ZIONIST Darwin are waging a re-
ligious controversy over such mat
tiers as the voice of conscience, be-
lief in the soul and hope of i'm
mortality.
Instead Of being fought in a
court of law as was the famous
Tennessee battle, the English YER
sion Of the battle of Dayton is being
fought in that truly English court
of public opinion, the London Times.
The shot that started the London
battle was fired by DR.. David
Forsyth, president of the section Of
psychiatry of the Royal Society Of
Medicine, when he declared in his
presidential address that science
and religion are more incompati-
BILE than ever" when viewed from
the standpoint of modern psy-
chology.
Vehement protests from fellow
physicians and religious leaders
Immediately followed.
Charges and counter charges in
the theological battle are reviewed
for the benefit of American physi-
clans by the London correspondent
of the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
DR.. Forsyth declared in his ad-
dress that the mysterious business
of gods and spirits is an example on
a colossal scale of a hangover OF
childish thinking. Religious think
ing is pleasure thinking, not re-
ality thinking" in his terms
Christianity, he charges, is often
cruel and sadistic; in other aspects
It manifests a perverted enjoyment
of being cruelty treated.
The voice of conscience" accord
ing to this prominent psychologist
is merely the voice of the father re-
membered from childhood. The
sense of guilt, which begins to be
felt around the age of seven, is al
WAYS a conflict between the chlld's
inclinations and the parents
wishes. Belief in a soul and the
hope of Immortality have simply
been taken over by Christianity
from primitive religions, and science
has failed to discover a foundation
for belief in the supernatural which
DR.. Forsyth declares is the CHIEF
characteristic of religion.
Six medical psychologists and
several other physicians have pub
licly disputed DR.. Forsyth. More
largely than any other department
of medicine, psychology rests on
theory and speculation, they say
They deny his charges Of sadism
and masochism in Christianity -
sexual perversions leading to cruelty
and enjoyment of being cruelty
treated.
The dean of st. Paul's DR.
Mathews, also replied to DR.. Forsyth
admitting his argument that fan
5asy plays a part in some religious
experience, but declaring that this
is an alteration Of religion.

that the small home owners do not
