Syracuse Gets

District JoIted

Washington, which wanted to
act as host for the 1856 Olympic
rowing tryouts, viii not get the
opportunity. Instead, Syracuse.
N. Y. which did not want the
tryouts. is being called on to
stage them.
This is the battling result of
the meeting of the Olympic Row.
ing Committee yesterday at
Syracuse.
Washington was represented
by Edward j. Kelly. superintend-
|ent Of the National Capital
Parks; Clarence Arata and Bar
Irett Crandall, all of whom are
'a bit miffed and puzzled over
the action.
I'VE were quite surprised, !"
Kelly said today. I'VE were told
Syracuse didn't want it. And
the committee was very nice to
us. They asked us a lot of ques-
tions. We thought we were in
pretty good shape. Why we even
went so far as to draw up pos
Sible dates"
Crandall went to Syracuse
Friday to feel things out. He
was told by a spokesman for the
Syracuse Rowing Association, he
said, that it did not want the
tryouts.
The committee voted to hold
the tryouts in Syracuse shortly
after the intercollegiate regatta
next June.
James Gilday, chairman Of
the Syracuse executive commit
tee. apparently was just as sur
prised as the Washington group
over the decision. 1--WE under
stand there is a financial outlay
required sfor the sponsoring
group to make the Olympic try
outs possible" he said. 1--WE had
our hands full trying to meet
expenses for the intercollegiate
regatta for the past four years
and we don't feel we can handle
both events"
According to Kelly, the COM
mittee was divided between Sc
lecting Washington and Seattle.
Then somebody brought up the
excellent facilities at Syracuse
the housing and feeding facili-
tees and the storage room for
shells and also that the college,
crews would be there for the In
tercollegiate regatta. So they
made the decision strictly on
convenience and without an ap-
plication from Syracuse.
"It appears" Kelly continued,
that the Olympic committee is
to go ahead without any
cooperation from the local
group.
"As for convenience. we we're
to take care of every
thing. Onondaga Lake is a fine
course. better for a long race
than the Potomac. But for the
short race like the 2.000-meterI
Olympic distance it is difficult
to match our course anywhere. u
