Three Men of the Blue and Gold
Crew Collapse at the Finish
R. A. Smyth
Oarsmen sporting the cardinal colors .
of Stanford university rounded out the
athletic successes of the football and
baseball teams and the track athletes
for the season by scoring a decisive
victory over the University of Califor
nia crew yesterday over the Richard
sons bay course off Sausalito. For sheer
poetry of motion in the earlier 'stages
of the race the men from the state
university, excelled the opposing eight,
but after half the course had been
covered Stanford- brawn and Stanford 1
condition- commenced to tell and the!
race then developed into a procession:
When the finish line was crossed the
sturdy representatives of Stanford had |
an advantage of six open boat lengths, 1
which represented SO seconds in time.
The distance, estimated to have been j
at least two* and. one-half miles, was
covered. by the winning crew in 13 min
ute* 5 seconds.
Given the life and color and gayety
of Saturday's crowd, the contest yes
terday would have been a great aquatic
spectacle. The course at the foot of
the Marin county hills, with old Tamal
pais in the distance, showed scarcely a
ripple- on its placid surface and proved
the claim of the boating . authorities
that it is an ideal sheet of water' for
the intercollegiate regattas if the races
be. decided in the morning \u25a0 before the
wind blows in, off the ocean.
General regret was expressed that
the crew" from Washington university
was not in the race,* as its members
had .impressed the rowing experts with
their «tyle at the oars and their rugged,
athletic appearance. A" comparison of
the crews can ' be made on i*£ay' - 30. as.
the Stanford eight will make a sporting
pilfrrimagrc to the northwest to meas- 1
uro strength with the wearers of the j
purple and gold. The race will be!
rowed on Lake Washington, a magnifi
cent sheet of water.
- . ,L,ITTI,E BELAY AT START
- The crews left their headquarters at
the San Vranciwo yacht club house
s-hortly before 10 o'clock and paddled •
plowly tip : the,,: bay to the starting!
]K>!nt. , Captain Zimmerman won the }
toss for choice of position, as he t]id 1
<>n; Saturday, and named 'the westerly)
or In shore side of the course, although!
th*?re was no advantage in this,'owing!
to the absence of wind. The California
men peeled off their racing shirts and j
•ibeir sun, browned, bodies glistened !rfj
the sunlight. ,-• -. \u25a0 \u25a0 \
, There ; was but little • delay and .in \
excellent start was effected. The Cr.li- j
forria men were first to show and at t
th«> end of 100 yards had gained a lead]
of a : half length.; They wore rowing!
33 strokes to. the minute to 37 for, the]
opposinjc eight. At the half mile the
shells wer* bow and bow. At' this)
time the California -men had dropped
their stroke to 30, while Stanford had
gone up to'.SS. :..•' . :
'At the end'of the iirst mile the hard j
condition of the Stanford men was
making itself apparent, as they had
gained a half length. They had in
creased-their stroke until they were
rowing 40 to the minute._ California
had long before settled down to its)
Etea.dy stroke of 36, which, with the j
necessary power behind it, would have!
driven the boat through the water at I
a exeat pace.
From- the half distance home the 1
cardinal "oarsmen increased' their lead I
greatly. At a mile and three-qu.irters i
there, were three open boat lengths!
between them' and their rivals. At two ;
miles this had been increased to four!
lengths, and when the finish line was!

Stanford .men kept up their-; steady)
swing after the finish and rowed on to
their headquarters at the yacht, club
house. . **& . ... .: » \
• LOSING CREW EXHAUSTED
It -was evident some time. before the
finish of the race that the California
men were in distress. '\u25a0: This was .shown
in their loss of rowing form. Once
they passed the finish three of the men
collapsed in^ their seats. Ashley at
Xo. 3, Bush at No. ; 5;« and. Witter, the
stroke oar. '. were the . ones to show
most plainly the effects of the - hard
race they had rowed. . Their fellow
oarsmen dipped up water from the
bay in" their hands and tossed it upon
them. This revived -them, 'and they
were able to continue on to the land
ing stage. After a few. minutes'; rest
they showed no ill effects from ths
severe struggle through which they
had passed. • .
After the* race Coach Garnett of the
California eight said that from various
causes his men had not been able to
get the amount of work in their boat
required for the race. It was this lack
of condition which -told on the men
when the sharp, pinch of competition
was felt after they had rowed, the first
mile. The style of the men Was praised
by the experts, and the coach said he
saw no reason to change his methods
next year. His instructions to his men
were to lead off with a- stroke of 40 to
the minute in an effort to obtain a
slight lead. They were then to slow 1
down to a stroke of 32. ; Their early ;
efforts told on them, .and they had
nothing'. on, which to finish.
The victorious Stanford crew '•:>\u25a0\u25a0 ac
cepted the congratulations of their
friends with becoming modesty. They ;
showed no signs", of -fatigue, and were
Joud !n their praises of the condition
in which Coach Dan Murphy had sent i
them into the race. Their victory was
the culmination of four months of hard
v.'ork on the. part of coach \u25a0 and crew.
STEADINESS OF AVIXXERS
The stroke they used is essentially a
"Dan Murphy stroke.". Jt is that used
by single scullers, modified to .suit an
fight oared' crew. It has a low, hard
catch, followed by a "rip through to
the finish. During the progress' of r the
race'tliere wa« no check, in the speed;
o" the boat, its momentum ncyer-.be
ins. lost. The crew never-spurtedJdur
ing the race, as -, tiiere- was 7 no^.timc \u25a0
when-, it had to stall off. any ' rush on j
the part of California. " -/-.'.
• The crews had a '.novel , wager on the
outcome of the: race. 'Each -man bet
' his'' racing suit against that of the man
in the same relative position on the
opposing ; crew.. Packed away in , the
drees suit cases: of the . cardinal-. oars?

THE stroke used by the Stan-s
ford crew is a modification
of that : used by the greatest
single scullers and it has fre
quently proved its efficacy.-
The men of the crew have been *
faithful in their training, which
fact was borne out by : the
strength they had in reserve
when they finished. I let the
crew work out the problems of
theTace in its own way. They
and the boat had been sent out
ready to race and they deserve
all'the credit for the way they
handled themselves on the
water. It will take , a strongs
eight to lead them_jover any
course from three miles upward.
