Reporters Dream

He was as affable and hospit-
able as could be, and wonderful
copy. There was book of stories
in Ten Eyck, and his mind and
memory were at that time as
keen as those of a man half his
age. I imagine ne was the same
to the time of his death, and
when a man lives to be 86 and is
active in his work almost to the
end, he can't we'll complain that
he hasn't had a full deal in the
game of life.
Certainly James T. Ten Eyck
had that in every way. recall
his telling me how on his sixtieth
birthday he had rowed from Al
bany down the Hudson to his
boyhood home near Poughkeep-
sic, and how he would have
liked to row back, only thc
nissus forbade it, and said she
wouldn't bake him a birthday
cake if he dM.Rg

incidents in the life of a man
Of remarkable physical endur-
ance and vitality, and the most
youthful outlookS have encoun-
tered in an octogenarian.
Somebody asked Mr.. Ten Eyck
that day if he thought having
spent so many years of his life
rowing had kept him young, and
he replied with the faintest sug'
gestion of a twinkle in his watery
blue eyes that he wasn't old
enough yet to find out.
Come back about 10 years
from now and I'll tell you,"
remembered he said.
He knew well he wouldn't be
there IL years from then, but
the reply was an excellent in
dication of the spirit and game
ness that had kept him there
for more than 80 years.
Tip Goes, 81 Thurston, Bucl
O'Neiil (the former football
coach, not our Buck, who coulc
also row., Chick Meehan anC
other gentlemen of Syracuse
could tell stories of Ten Eycl
for hour on end. He wa'
almost as much a part of thai
famous upstate university g.!
the campus.
Perhaps it is a change in my
own viewpoint and still I cam
escape the feeling that some
thing important and fireplace
able has gone out of rowing with
the passing Of Ten Eyck, Court
ney, Val and their contem
poraries.
The Washington times., 1938-02-15

Of Syracuse, whose funeral was
held this afternoon at the Syra-
cuse University chapel.
Born on its banks before the
first Confederate gun spat de-
1iance at Fort Sumter, Ten Eyck
could almost be said to have
lived his long life on the Hud-
son. That wasn't literally true,
since from the time the memory
Of man runneth not to the con-
trary, he had been the head
coach of rowing at Syracuse
University.
But Ten Eyck's annual goal,
the day for which he lived the
calendar around, year after
year, was the intercollegiate
rowing regatta that has been
held at Poughkeepsie since the
turn Of the century. His orange
tipped oars hadn't often flashed
in front in the varsity event in
these later years.
The Washington times., 1938-02-15
Always in Running

Indeed, I can't recall having
seen Syracuse win it since the
war, and until the last couple
of years I was more prompt at
Poughkeepsie on regatta day
than the observation train. Al
ways, however, the ancient ma
riner and his eights were to be
reckoned with and somewhere
along the line-freshmen, junior
varsity or varsity-they were
pretty certain to give tn cir
rivals a scare, if not a positive
jolt.
Ten Eyck's crews were good
crews and they knew how. If
the man power was missing Z.
well, that was something that
not even the old man Of the
Onondaga could help.
went to Syracuse a couple
Of springs ago to interview
Uncle Jim and make some shots
for a movie. He was then al
most SO. They warned me that
he was inclined to be a little
crllSty under the weight Of his
years, and that I might find
him short tempered.
He didn't prove to be that way
at all. Although he had only
recently recovered from a serious
illness at the time, he insisted
on going out into the river in
the rain, so that we could get
the shots Of him coaching his
crews we wanted.
