EW YORK, January 24—Corn mile regatta at the end of the N to which she probably will greatest rowing coach this country ell's attitude against rowing a four- intercollegiate aquatic season is one adhere. Charles E. Courtney, the has ever known, advocated the two or three mile route on the ground that too much time was required to preparc students for the four-mile route. He maintained that tests as convincing ¢ould be held upon lanes of lesser length. Courtney has passed on, but his system and his views are very much alive at Ithaca. Besides, development of rowing at Princeton and estab- Tishment of the most friendly and sportsmanlike relations among Cornell, Yale and Princeton has taken the edge off the Poughkeepsie affair. regatta of the three has come to be tant events of the season. Pennsylvania is even more strongly opposed to four-mile rowing than Cornell. With the Quakers, the Childs cup regatta, the American Henley, and other early season re- zattas have appealed to them as supplying adeguate tests. Penneyl- vania has no home four-mile course, and she frowns upon the expense of migration to a rowing camp. Again, she opposes regattas rowed after term time, Pennsylvania than Cornell eliminate the come down to rowed exclusiv Vironment Dr. Spaeth, the Princeton coach, has no intention of advocating & change in Trinceton’s rowing policy. He ob- jects to rowing races out of term time, and feels that time and money required for preparing for long races make them prohibitive. Out west. when Intercollegiate row- ing is established. the two-mile race is likely to the limit. At least that is the feeling at Minnesota. Dr. Wilee, athletic director at Ohlo State, favors the shorter distance. As to the present deadlock between Cornell 2nd Pennsylvania on the one hand and Columbia and Syracuse on the other—the first holding for three miles and the latter for four—no one 1n sav what will be the outcome.

What's the big idea?" “Oh, that's easy replied the gupposed victim “That's his handica the friend counter- “How's that?" Well.

It appears that college crews row- ing In intercollegiate regattas on Lake Carnegle at Princeton last summer were justified in their complaints that th shells frequently dragged. This wi because of the shallowness of the water. When an_oarsman says that his boat drags he means that the keel of his craft is so near the bottom that undue physical effort is expended. Reports of Princeton engineers, sub- mitted to the Athletic Association, show that in the course of the past five years the mud flowing into Lake Carnegie exceeds the gold that used to flow into the pockets of the donor. In many places mot more than a foot and & half of water covers the bot- tom. The engipeers add that in their in- spection of the lake bottom when the water was let out last fall the propellers of launches which followed | the oarsmen bit into the mud more than half the length of the two-mile course, Just what to do about the situation is the topic of & conference ! now being held between the uni- versity engineers and two experts who have served on the engineering board. Initial steps to be taken this spring Invglve the installation of two great sucllon dredges, which will prepare the course for regattas to be held ASTERN and Western are to clash in the second game of a high this spring and summer.

As Central Coliseum fs not available, | this and the Eastern-Western match | are being staged at the Arcade in an effort to make up time lost through the discarding of the first four scholastic contests plaved and the postponement of two others due to_the renewal of the titular serles. In_beating Business so decisively, the Easterners continued their dash- ing play that upset Central last week d put up a far better performance ! than in the invalidated game that went to the Stenographers. 21 to 20. With Hook and Kessler playing bril tiantly at forward and guard, spectively, Eastern had evervthing its own way in the first half, which ended | in its favor, 18 to 4. Business took a new lease on life in the second half, especiaily after Hook was banished via the personal foul route: but East- ern, traveling under a comfortable lead, attempted little more than a defansive game in the latter portion of the fray About the only comfort Tech can ! glean from vesterday’s mix-up with | Western is that the latter did not win as handily as in the discarded mateh between the teams. That ended 32 to 12 against the Manual Trainers. Tech put up a good battle in the flrst half vesterday, but it never really had a chance against (he Red and White. The latter found itself in the eecond session and from then on scored with ease, Frishy, Garber and Hannegan starred for the victors, while Boyd was best of the Techs.

While more than a million tick- ets were issued, starters said three or four times as many would have been in demand if there had been room for play. The courses were crowded from dawn to dusk, from earliest spring to latest fall, and players were sent that two or three foursomes were on out in fours, so close to each other each hole. The largest number were accommodated at the eighteen-hole links in Jackson Park, where 124,584 players teed off, or some 500 a day, from March to December.

The other half milllon were forced to make long trips to forest preserve links and public courses. The dearth of links in proportion to plavers has started the building of rearly a dozen pro rata courses in Chicago where the golfer may pay as he plays without the formality of joining a club.
