Reduction In Length of Collegiate Race
Would Eliminate Alt Opportunity
for Strategy and Brain Work
by the Coxswain.
One of those who are opposed to
shortening the annual collegiate race

tunlty for brain work by either the
coxswain or stroke.
To prove his point that a fast three
mile race will be more wearing than
tho four-mile distance, Rice cites the
enso of Columbia nnd Cornell several
years ngo, when, nftcr ench crew had
"cooked" the other by a contlnuou8
spurt, Syracuse come to the fore anil
carried olT first honors. Under the
three-mile conditions, says Rice, every
crew will be "cooked" and at the end
of the race will be more exhausted
nnd worn than In the longer distance
A longer, Instead of n shorter, train
ing period will be necessary In his
opinion.
Tho only beneficial result he sees
will be the likelihood of more crew,
entering the annual classic. Wiscon
sin, which three years ago untitled
tho stewards that It would enter n
crew In a three-mile distance only, Is
expected to take part In the 1020 re
