ELI OARSMEN TRY RACING
STARTS, FOR HARVARD RACE;
' .Varsiety and Other Crews Get Into Shape for
Race With Crimson—Rough Water Causes
Coach to Change His Plan for Workout in
Midstream—Freshmen Have Long Drill
CALEB l«‘iIlillll’. Conu., June 11.—
A strong southwest wind was kick-
ing up while caps along the Thames
River course at full) o'clock last ove-
. bins when Coach Leader called out
Ysio's junior \arsity crew for prac—
tice. The crew managed to row down
stream and back. but the trip was a
'l'ough one. Leader instructed the var-
sity eight to leave the boulltouso Ill
time to meet. iiilii in midstream
when he returned with tho Juniors.
T‘oio varsity men followed instruc-
ti as. but. the coach megaphoned
them that conditions were bad and
told the coxwuiu to steer the shell
above the quarters in smoother wa-
tor and an hour was spent in racing
starts and long stretches.
, The combination eight revved -a
mile down stream when Coach Moore
decided theta would be. better con-
dittons further up tho I‘I\t‘I‘ No this
crew also finished the evening prac-
tice above broadview. Couch Mur-
phy gave the. freshmen only a. hail
hour‘s light work tonight near the
boathouse.
Yale's freshmen eight had an un-
usually long distance, row for yearl-
ings this morning. (‘oach Murphy
had had the youngsters paddle from
the boatliouso to the. railroad bridge
four and one-half miles distant and
then put. the clock on the crew when
they reeled off a. four—tulle time trial
lp-stream. There was a Iitutrteriui;
ind astcrn and a good tide assist-
: the shell and the first two miles
ere rowed in 11 minutes. 214 sec-
onds. The last two miles tip stream
were covered faster titan the first
two and the. freshmen Were timed
ior tho entire distance in 22:50.
Coach Murphy was pleased with
tile work of ltls crew. 110 says this
year's eight is equally as fast. as last
year's freshmen and beiiele there is
not a weak spot in the makeup from
yost.-rtluy‘s showing.
The hard four-mile tiIno row of
Yale's varsity crow last night earned
them a short rest and Coach Leader
did not call the onrstuen tor the
regular morning‘s work.
The junior varsity crew. accom-
patiieti by (foaeii Leader. paddled
three and IOIlthItilII fillies down the.
course yesterday morning and then
lilt tho stroke up to thirty-two for
another half-mile.
'l'he continuation crew. under
t‘oacll {\Iooro's wing, took a long
paddle down the river this morning.
Examinations are over lit ilio lCll
camp and as a consequence the
breakfast hour has been changed
from 7:31: to h‘ orloek. standard
time.
Coat-h Alike Murphy had a birth-
day yesterday and last night he was
presented a large cake with a soil-
tnry tlveive-ilieh eandlt- adorning it.
The. coach also received several gifts
in honor of the occasion from sever-
itI members of Yale's squad.

more thrills in going onto the field

The T a l k About
(iawge Godfrey
By FAIR PLAY.
(Copyright. 1925.)
NEW YORK. Juno ll.——In the
dear dead days'when California was
the center of the pugilistio industry
and fighters were lighters. the art of
ballyhoo was pretty much unknown.
The best. advertisement of a fighter
was it. real fight. What he did in
the ring and not what his managers
and promoters said he could do. was
the basis of his prestige.
But now it is greatly to be feared
that the spread to California of the
wide-spread wave of pugillsm has
brought with it a lot of the flotsam
and jet in which has littered the
Eastern and Middle Western billows.
Listen. for instance. to the chort-
ling of Jimmy Dougherly. the Baron
of Leipcl‘ville. who has Gawgc God-
frey. his big black butler. out on the
West coast, where. the other day.
(lawge defeated .laek Renault on
points. and is now being ground to
tackle Luis ll‘irpo out there.
"i have been holding Godfrey back
for two years on account of my
friendship for Dempsey. as I was
positive he could beat Dempsey. and
I did not want to humiliate my
friend.” Can you beat that one?
But wait; here is something better:
“Dempsey has boxed him over 150
rounds and has never in all that time
been able to put a glove on him."
Wow! The last memory the writer
had of ange was when Dempsey
put a. glove on him so hard in a
training camp workout at
cracked like sluts.
Speaking of Dempsey. it is new
the world who can draw a. three
hundred thousand dollar house. Pro-
moters and managers of big outdoor
shows are learning this to their sor-
row.
The Tunney-Gibbons fight at the
Polo Grounds was a. bust. from the
protnoters' angle. because of the.
money the. fighters cost. and the
from IL sell- out.
There seems to be no doubt that
the biggest money- -mnking battle of
the year will be the Italian llospital
l'nnd bouts. of which “ills tin-d
Weinert will fight. This bout dnoes
not figure much from a sporting
standpoint. but. the Harry Greb-
Mickey Walker fight is sure to site
the card a fine boost.
Then. too. all the Italians in the
city are behind this show. In Mub-

Giants in the annual classic. The
fact was completely overlooked by ,
the writers that Johnson had not
pitched poorly in either game. and year, if anything. than he had last
that with a little batting support season. Hts arm began to work
he would have won at least the first
0710.
Johnson was credited with every-
thing from acne: down—or up—
and it was freely asserted that he
had pitchcd‘ his last big league
game. He was almost sidetracked
into a minor league. where he
would have been lost and might not
have found the going as tranquil
and successful as he has this sea-
son with Washington.
Thus far this season. the de-
ceased Walter has won nine games
and lost two. That is quite equal
to anything any of the rest of the
big imers can show. He has
pitche six complete games. That
is doing remarkably well in these
days when it is the fashion to yank
a pitcher out the moment the other
side threatens to make a run.
It be can keep up his present
pace. Johnson should win about :7
games and lose six this season.
It is probable that in all the his-
tory of baseball. there never has
been a greater tribute to a man
who absolutely refused to stay
down titan has been given to John-
son this season. and he will have
to lose two whole World series in
succession before the men who bur-
ied him lut fall will dare dig him
another baseball grave.
Johnson has more speed this
pretty well from the start of train-
ing and it is fairly certain that
Johnson is more than glad he did
not so through with the projected
purchase of a California minor club.
where he would have had worry
aplenty to face. .
The further Johnson goes the
more his records will increase. and
the nearer he will come to the tri-
umphs of Cy Young. who gave 22
years of his life to the national
game and had won 511 major con-
tests before he quit. Johnson in all
probability will have more than
400 by the end of this. his nine-
teonth year in the big leagues.
Were he to play four more years
he might tie Young. He is the only
this: player who has a command-
ing lead for a possible tie. And
twenty~tlve victories a year for four
years doesn't look at all impossible.
Just now for this baseball "corpse"

NEW YORK. June 11.—- Is it nec-
essary to have been a. star athlete to
have had adequate experience as a
\arsity man, to obtain a good coach-
i inf; Job and then succeed at it?
These questions are being asked by
more than one young man w ho would
Illke to take up the career of an in-
structor in athletics and yet pauses
J’ because he has never stood' forth for
this university on the thick scrc turf
[of a. football gridiron. has never
brought his fellow students to their
feet with a timely hit. a. dazzling

Point. of course. is gi\cn to these
.problems through the approaching
lopcning of the summer courses in
coaching at various universities
throughout the country. w hilc at the
Isame time. boys who are graduating
from the secondary schools ate con—

Ienter the regular departments of
Inthietic coaching which several mid-
'dle western universities maintain as
a definite curricular division.
George Huff. athletic director at
the University of Illinois and head of
department of athletic instruction at
this seat of learning. is perhaps bet-
ter qualified than any other man in
the country to give his views on the
question set forth above and they
are herewith' presented as being
timely and valuable.
“It is not necessary to have. been
a star athlete." says Mr. Huff. “i’iay.
lug on varsity teams is possible for
students who take the coaching
course in college but lack of ability
to make a varsity team is Ito bar "
