THE EVENIN Dr. Spaeth, Princeton Rowing PICTURESQUE, FIGURE LOST TO PASTIME Coaches Without Pay While Maintaining Classes in English Department—Responsible for Plac- ing Spring Regattas on High Plane. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, June 4—Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, who installed intercol- legiate rowing at Princeton N for the Far West Saturday to spend Retiring as he does from active association with Princeton crews, | 1ot picturesque, influential and idealistic figures. ¢ and at the same time maintaining his ¢ ort loses one of it aching without pa the ,in the English department at Princeton. Specifically, it was through hi rowing. racing season developed cumulative i April and May are always significant in the various crews. Last vear, feeling that his work was whout finished, he went to Seattle and engaged Charles Logg to come East and take hold of coaching at Prince- ton. Logg had been captain of one of the great University of Washing- tan crews and his work thus far has heen quite experimental, he and Dr. Spaeth working together to develop a stroke suited to the material and the conditions that obtain at Nassan Has Not Lost Interest. This season, while Spaeth has heen At the Lake every day, he has left affairs pretty much in Logg's hands, his official position being chairman of the Princeton rowing committee. Now he fis going away and the announcement will he received with vogret not anly by Princston rewing men past and present but by those in other colleges who are interested anuatics . Spaeth will deliver two com- mencement addresses, the first at liced €ollege, Portland. Oreg.. on June 1" and the second at the University of Oregon, June 14. He will spend the Summer teaching at the Uni versity of California and in Septem- will go to Reed Collega as an exchange professor for a year. Dr. Spaeth’'s succese at Princeton Yer of the prominent figures in the sport as coach of the Tigers, leaves IDEALISTIC 15 years ago and since has been one his sabbatical year. asses Dr. Spacth contributed much to influence that the preliminary importance, until now regattas in determining the final ranking of and the difficulties which Edward Stevens, former Harvard coach, en- countered at Cambridge call to mind the fact that in all sports there is| none that makes such a pointed de-| mand as rowing for the injection of | a coach's personality into the men he teaches. i Must Be a Geniw: | There are times when it requires a veritable genius to bring a foot ball | eleven together. It depends upon the | type and intelligence of the player: But there is never a time when the problem of co-ordinating an eight oared crew, no matter what the char- acter and mental ability of the oars- men may le, s other than delicate | and complex. A crew coach will work for weeks and weeks upon a hoatload of young | stalwarts, shifting men here and | | thera, taking narsmen out of the hoat | and filling their places with men from other hoats, and still the spark is not | kindled. | Perhaps it never appears and the | crew goes on from failure to fallure. |Or fire may he developed with the | first regatta, thanks, perhaps, te an | ontstanding stroke oar. But it has to be nurtured lest it go out mys- | terionsiv, | WHAT BECOMES OF SPORT RECORDS TOLD BY A. A. U Gy the Asenciatad Prees W cial books? On the word of authorities of the Amateur Athletic Union aho have 1 o do with such matters, the main reasons for non-acceptance of so many | performances publiched as records are: (1) Lack of proper conditions, ench as"track measurements, timing, e i g (2) lack of proper certifications by authorized officials; (3) | at officially recognized distance or in unsanctioned event; (4) failure to make record application. formance performance not = the A.

A quartering wind hehind a_run- net's back. for instance, may ba con ~trued as an ald 1o his performance and suficient cause for it to be dis- regarded if any record claim is made. There was a ripple in athletic cir- last November over reports that keon Scholz had been credited with i new 100-vard mark of 8 510 seconds. Later it developed the A ‘hrned the mark down. It was made in an obscure meet in which Scholz participa Summer in Greens. boro, N. C.. and conditions governing it were not regarded as sufficient for the stamp of approval. Iv does a record get on if there is the slighest dispute. Nevertheless, the present indoor record of 9 4.5 second for 100 vare i 1924 by Louis Clarke at was voted approval convention after its record commi had rejected the mark The indoor half-mile record of 154 3.5, credited to E.

He was sitting in class | when a note was handed him from the athletic director, asking him to hurry team on a trip to play the Universit of Tllinols. Shaughnessy had never played basket hall and knew nothing of the rules. { The procedure was almost the same in'track. He was pressed into service to take the place of an unavallable halfmiler when he did not own a pair af spiked shoes and had never worn them.
