MAJORITY FAVORS
3-M|LE CREW RACE
Coast Mentors Unlikely to
Object to Poughkeepsie
Change East Seeks.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
YH1LE the precise vote Of the
M Eastern rowing coaches in
v " favor Of the resolution that
the annual Poughkeepsie
Regatta be reduced from miles to
has been withheld, the writer learns
that substantial majority were for it.
John Ulbrickson, coach of the Uni
versity of Washington crew, and KY
Ebright Of California were. of course,
not present, but understanding Is
that neither cares particularly whether
the course be shortened AS a matter
of fact. the Pacific Coast Regatta,
rowed in April, always has been kept
to miles and the Husky and Bear
sWeepsWingers train for this distance
up to the time they prepare for the
Hudson River race. So general belief
is that the West Coast rowing mentors
would certainly interpose no objec-
tions to the change.
Princeton Not Interested.
FACT is that a reduction Of the
length of the varsity event at
Poughkeepsie from miles TO would
make very little difference in the
amount of time required for training
for the race and, therefore, no ap-
preciable diminishing Of the expense
involved. SO, if the favorable vote
of the coaches on the 3-mile proposal
was in some measure due to a desire
to bring Pennsylvania back to the
Hudson and to prevent any further
Withdrawals from the Poughkeepsie
lineup. chances are it will be without
result.
Nor will the looping off Of a mile
have any effect in inducing Princeton
to enter the regatta so far as Old
Nassau is concerned, miles are no
better adapted to the Princeton
aquatic plan than 4 miles.
AS to the point brought up at the
coaches meeting, that the reduction
would enable Eastern crews to meet
the Westerners upon more favora BILE
terms, it is difficult to see how crews
and their coaches of this section would
be benefited
Climate Favors Coast Crews.
CL1MATIC conditions on the Pa
cific Slope are such that crews
Of that section have more time to
train for distance racing. while at
the same time they admit of more
races over the longer routes. Why
would not the same advantage apply
to the 3-mile course? The writer
last June talked with Ebright, Cali
fornia's coach, about the relative
advantages of the 3 and mile races.
His idea was that the shorter course
involved greater strain upon the oars
men, inasmuch as it was much more
likely to be sprint over the full
distance. While 4-mile contests have
been known to call for what has been
practically sprint over the entire 4
miles, they have been rare; more
often the early stages are confined
to jockeying and general strategy de-
signed for the saving of energy unit
the time comes, at whatever positiC.
along the route, to put on steam.

~ ERKELEY, Calf. Dec. 18-
l. Coach Leonard B. tStub) AL
lison expressed concern today
- lest his University Of Cali
fornia Bears reach their physical peak
too quickly for the New Year Day
Rose Bowl game with Alabama. His
grid warriors have had two days of
practice.
After nearly a months layoff it
was reasonable to expect the boys to
be bit sluggish" Allison explained
We've just started practice, you
might say. and they're running
through plays with the zip they
showed in midseason.
In my book that's bad business
They might burn themselves out on
the practice field. It's case of
putting on the brakes, because as
certain as the sun rises and sets We
will have to be at our best for Ala
bama. If those Southern boys don't
play inspired football I don't know
who does"

WALK ON HIGHWAYS
FACING TRAFFIC
(By John Jaster, Jr.)

The idea that it is safer to walk
with traffic than against it still per-
sists in the minds of many persons
who have to walk on highway.
Despite the repeated warnings OF
traffic authorities pedestrians con-
tinue to turn their backs on vehicles
bearing down on them instead OF
facing automobiles coming against
them. The 1886 records of traffic
accidents on state highways outside
municipalities, collected by the traf-
fic division of the state highway de-
partment, show that almost twice as
many pedestrians were hurt when
walking with their backs to traffic
than when facing it. In walking
against traffic one should walk as
close to the edge of the road as pos
sible. Then, if he keeps his wits
about him, he won't be caught un-
awares and hit-except in such cases
as when car for some reason or
other swerves suddenly and leaves
the road.
If pedestrian is walking against
traffic he has the advantage Of see
| ing automobiles coming toward him.
He has the protection Of his own
eyes as we'll as those of the driver.
If you have to walk on road, walk
against traffic. Then you will live
| to walk another day-agalnst trat-

A reduction of the legal speed

main through thoroughfares, will be
in effect after August IL, according
to the terms Of a legislative mea-
sure which has been signed by Gov
ernor Martin L. Davey. In addition,
the new law will require motorists
to slow down to 20 miles an hour in
the vicinity of a school building dur
ing recess time and while children
are on their way to and from school.
The legal speed limit of Is miles an
hour on highways outside municipal
corporations remained unchanged by
the new law. Unchanged also was
the 20 mile an hour limit in closely
built up areas of a city or town.
