WINNING THE EIGHT.
In all rowing circles, w.hether college,
otttside a.mateur or professional, the
classic is the eig,ht-oared race. La.s t
}·ear our Grand Rapids Bo,a t and Canoe
ciub carried off the high point trophy
in the Central Strates amateur rowing
regatta on Grand r.iver, but to the insiders the massive silver cup was only a
consolation. In a sunset fini,s h above
the old Nor.bh Park bridge the Detroit
eight, losing its lead to the locals ,vitl1
every stroke, had managed by a s cant
length to pull out ahead.
Wednesday, after a jrear's waiting and
training, and still as a "junior" aggregation because it had not won a first,
the local crew ca:pt ured the eigh t-oared
race t.r om the Detroit Boat club in the
Southwestern regatta at Peor•i a and
then on Friday I\Ve11t into the senior
eight event, the sum·m it of row ing ambition, and nosed out Detroit again . .q-,he
l!ext day it repeated th1s triumph b)·
"'· inning the senior eight in the Central
8taties regatta.'
Gr·and Rapids' ·c rews have neither the
financial backing nor the quipment
which is possessed by the-ir leading op-_.
ponenrts, particularly the Detroit and
Chicago clubs, and their achievement
•
and that of the veteran Coach Cor'bett
i~ the more notable for that reason.
Their splendid figh t has broug'ht national ro·,,,.ing fame to this cit:r, and
both .deserves and receives our congra.tulationiS.
