Cor• bet, in his younger days one of the most fan1ous oarsmen of the country when that sport ranked high in popularity, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the chapel at 5501 North Ashland avenue.

A month ago he I attended the funeral of Edward Cla• tor, Corbet's opponent in his last professional race. In 1893, as a feature of the world's Columbian exposition, Corbet beat Clator in a single scull race and won. the then unheard of purse of $1,000. Wins U. S. Amateur Title.

The defeat of Donohue was Corbet's biggest thrill because the Chicagoan 1 tl1at day was the under dog in the betti11g. . In 1887 Corbet, representing Chicago, won the senior singles championship of the Mississippi Valley Rowing association, and the North• western university race. On Lake • Chatauqua, N.

The next year, at Duluth, Minn., Corbet rowed tl1e quarter mile in one minute and lD seconds. This mark . remai11ed 011 the records of. the Arna, teur Athletic union for fifteen years. ~ At that time Corbet was a rmember of the old Farragut Boat club, to whicl1 leading Chicago sportsmen belonged. Soon after the old world's fair, Corbet b e came coach of the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe club, a position he held for seven years. In all except one year his crew swept the v1aters of the central west in every rowing eve11 t. He the11 became coach of the Lincoln Park Boat and Canoe club, remaining t h ere for twelve years, during the time of the late Walter Eckersall of University of Chicago football fame who became a sports w r i t e r for THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

Corbet, commonly l called "Jack." You have heard of Teemer, Panlan, Gardner, l\tiurphy, Ward, Nicholls and 11umerous others who have made a specialty of rowing in both scull and sweep work, but the king of them all is no other than Jaclr Corbet, the olq Iroquois • scull, the same Corbet that made Chicago famous away back In the early 80's. Chicago was then a real rowing center. With its vast water front, it has gone back, and today is the laughing stock of the country, as far as aquti<Y sport is concerned. We have held water carnivals and regattas, but they have ., been only side shows. •••••• CHICAGO WAS FAMOUS IN THE SO'S. Going back to the early 80's, Chicago had the follo,ving boat clubs: The Farragut, Iroquois, Delaware, Catlin, Pullman, Evanston, Quintard, Riverdale, Social, Douglas and South Chicago. All these clubs were ,vell equipped with I }laraphernalia for rowing, and had memberships ranging from 25 to 250, and almost in every instance they were enthusiastic and active. I • �• l ' II ' I , COACH "JACK" CORBET ] ' ( 'l'he two big western associations, the Mississippi and the Northwestern, t w~re n1ade up of clubs from St. Louis, St. Paul, lvlinneapolis, Duluth, Moline, Grand Rapids, Detroit a.nd small to,vns in the vicinity of these cities an • around Chicago . The gan1e '\Vas good, and Chicago '\vas on the map, and much credit must be given to "Jack" Corbet for calling the attention of the world to the fact I hat Chicago was a live town, for he went to Sara toga as a dark horse and .....~ on the national championship in the senior singles, winning from the best i1\ America. The same year, .Johnny Korf and Billy· Weinan, representing the t Delaware Boat club, captured the national champio11ship in the doubles. THEY WENT OUT TO WIN THEN. In the old days, the Iroquois were out to ,vin. The Delawares, too, were there in earnest, and while the sport was keen, the fello'\¥8 were "all for Chicago, and went in to win ,vith the Chicago spirit. The Chicago clubs made "the Chicago navy." They created all sorts of interest, and encouraged young fellows to join and try their hand at the game. The only boat club in Chicago is now housed in Lincoln park, and, instead of elev.en active clubs with a membership of 2,000, ,ve have one club with a possible membership of a little over 100, and of that number only a handful are in active competition. I From South Chicago to Evanston is the greatest rowing stretch of a,ny city · i11 the world and there is only one boat club. Jack Corbet, a Chicago product, went to Grand Rapids in April and came to town a ,veek ago Saturday ,vith a single sculler, in the Junior and senior d ·i~.(f;n, a four and an eight oared crew, and made Chicago boys take hi's back- l • \\\_jfi. ' ~ • Not once did the locals I1ave a look-in. The good natured J"ohn_did the trick. 111 the meantime, Corbet is going ahead and putting Grand~ Rapids on the map. The coming year he ,vill invade the big derbies and there is no doubt of his success. - --·- ' .. , • • . • • • - �.... r A HISTORIC CLUB.

Carroll was a strapping fellow with thick, curly black hair and an impressive moustache In 1887, when he stroked the junior four to its momentous victory in the Northwestern Amatuer Rowing association regatta at Reeds lake. The crew cut the world's record for the two-mile-with-tu·rn race from 12: 42 to 12: 27. This record still stands. Nowadays that distance is not raced, so the record probably will continue to stand. The 1887 junior four won the first leg of a trophy offered for that race and two years later Carroll coached the junior four that won the second leg, and permanent possession of the trophy, for Grand Rapids. :Mr. Carroll now has this trophy. The Grand Rapids club participated in many events. One well remembered was a regatta, in 1889, ·at Salt Lake City, Utah. The Grand Rapids team was invited by that city's chamber of commerce and had it-s expenE:es paid for the trip. It was the first such race ever rowed on Great Salt lake, and the oarsmen. they came from Chicago, St. Louis and Peoria as well as Grand Rapids, found rowing in the salt-heavy waters both exasperating and amusing.

Like many another facet of an American way of life, it ended with the mass-produced auto and the advent of the country club. . • • • But while it lasted, the Goliaths of Detroit and Chicago more than once met their David in less well equipped, financially poorer Grand Rapids crews that didn't know ,vhen to quit - literally, Take, for example, the Central States Amateur Rowing Association regatta held here in 1921. , Joseph Kortlander, now a Grand Rapids real estate dealer, was rated high in the doubles and singles events, but he was ill, apparently suffering from a virus infection. It was a glaring hot day on the Grand River that Friday, July 8, 1921. Kortlander ignored his fever to row in the quarter-mile dash, Although he lost, he picked up points for the home club. The next day he finished third in the singles race and collapsed at his oars. ''That:s all,'' said the club doctor. Kortlander was carried to the clubhouse and put to bed. But when he heard the call for the doubles race less than an hour later, he climbed out of bed, mumbled: ''I'm in on that'' and ran out to the dock. Friends and coaches protested, but he climbed into the double shell with Julius Petersen. They were first across the finish line a mile later, beating six other entries. Kortlander again collapsed in the boat, but his dogged determination had clinched the high-point trophy for the Grand Rapids team. • • • There were other days of glory: -In July, 1922; Grand Rapids' 14 oarsmen came home from Peoria, Ill., with 30 gold medals and 5 silver plaques from the combined regatta of the Central States and Southwestern Amateur Rowing Associations. The local eight won three races in four days. -In 1886 a four-oared shell with a Grand Rapids crew broke. the world's record for two miles with turn, trimming the mark from 12 minutes 42 seconds to 12 minutes 27 seconds. The record was still standing 50 years later. In 1914 the Grand Rapids eight won the national an1ateur championship at Philadelphia, beating challengers from all over the United States and Canada. • • • It all started back in 1884, ,vhen a group of local sportsmen organized the Owashtanong (or 0-WashTa-Nong) Boat Club on the west shore of Reeds Lake. A clubhouse, long since vanished, ,vas built in 1885. Rowing almost immediately became one of the club's major activities, Charles Seidel, a well-known Pittsburgh boater, came to Grand Rapids with a load of used rowing equipment to manage the club's program. For four years, 1886 through 1889, the Northwestern Amateur Rowing Association held its annual regattas at Reeds Lake. It was in the first of these that the Owashtanong four-A. A, Carroll, later police chief of Grand Rapids, Charles McQuewan, Jesse Fox and W. D. Sargent-set the Wl'lrld's two-mile mark. Newspaper accounts said the crowd of 10,000 spectators went wild at tl1e end of the race, scores of them wading into the water to carry the ro,vers and their sl1ell ashore.

CUP RETURNS TO GRAND RAPIDS - Four local men who rowed for Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe Club more than 40 years ago admire one of the club's trophies, which by chance was saved from being melted down by a Southeastern Michigan antique dealer. Ernest L. Bates of 1638 Wealthy St. SE was looking for antique gun parts in a shop at Somerset c:enter, 25 miles south of Jackson., when he spotted the trophy and bought it, From left to right are Fred Lindner, whose name is engraved on the cup for the years 1911, 1913 and 1914; Joseph Kortlander, whose ''iron man'' performance helped the club win a Central States Rowing Association regatta in 1921; How~ rd MacMillan, who rowed bow on a championship Grand Rapids eight crew from 1919 to 1924, and Russell Davis, stroke and captain of the same eight, called ''the finest crew ever turned out at Grand Rapids."

In the 1890s, rowing activities gradually shifted to a small building on the Grand River in North Park, and the O,vashta11ong Club, in fine quarters at Reeds Lake, became a social and canoeing club. 1'he river organization was the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe Club. The Northwestern association held its last regatta on Reeds Lake in 1901. Rowing slacked off a little in the first years of the 20th century, although several local regattas were held and Grand Rapids oarsmen met competitors from Chicago on Lake Macata,va several times before 1910. • • • the Boat Canoe In 1908, and Club opened new quarters on the Grand River in North Park, and the clubhouse became a social as well as athletic center. Said the program for the club's opening party of the year Friday, May 27, 1910: ''Dancing at eight-thirty to Tuller' s Orchestra." For years the Friday night dances were a social "must'' in Grand Rapids. Then the club made a move which brought a golden era of rowing to Grand Rapids. It hired as rowing coach John F. (Jack) Corbet of Chicago, who was to train local oarsmen for 13 years except for a twoyear interval at Chicago. The handlebar-mustached Corbet, then 55 years old, was the professional champion sculler of the United States from 1883 to 1886. At the ' Columbian Exposition in 1893 he defeated famous Edward Clator in a single sculls race for the then-unheard-of purse of $1,000. • • • Corbet's teaching brought quick results from the eager Grand Rapids youths. In 1911, the club entered . six men in the Central States regatta at Peoria, Ill. They brought home the high-point trophy, winning the junior doubles, half-mile dash for fours, junior singles and senior singles. Ernll_st Conlon pulled to victory in the single sculls, the11 hopped into a double shell with his brother, Herb, to take that race. The next day, July 18, 1911, Ernest Conlon won the Boat and Canoe Club's first senior race-the single scull event. Later that year the local club scored anoth~r smashing success in a Labor Day regatta at Chicago. But there was more to come. Tl1e next year, 1912, Grand Rapids went to the combined regatta of the Central States, Southwestern and National Amateur Rowing Associations at Peoria, Ill. • • • When they came home, they brought with them winners' trophies for the national intermediate four, all singles and doubles in both the Central States and Southwestern meets and the Central States high point trophy, They tied for the Southwestern high-point trophy with St. Louis. Until that time, the Boat and Canoe Club had competed in onlr single and double scull events and four-oared shells. But in 1913 the club added an eightoared shell. Coach James Wray, who had raced at Harvard, set abotLt training the crew-Lester Stiles, Podge Holoway, Jules Petersen, Sophus Johnson (later Grand Rapids city manager), Ernest Conlon, Frank Brummler, Fred Lindner, Cliff Dolan and Jack Fowler, coxswain. In 1914 they were ready. At the regatta at ·Philadelphia they beat a favored Philadelphia crew for the U.S .-Canadian championship. Said a Philadelphia newspaper: · ''Our boys were ,-;o 1,,atc;, foi· ~lite ,,;il;~a11gy so11s 01 lumbermen irom Michigan." • • • • Years later, when the Boat and Canoe Club was disbanding, The Grand· Rapids Press recalled the Philadelphia reporter's words and remarked in an editorial: ''The 'sons ' of lumbermen'-they actually were nothing of the kind, but hard-working boys in Grand Rapids offices and factories who could practice only after 5 o'clock when the day's jqb was over-annually proved themselves the greatest oarsmen in the Midwest." On May 15, 1915, a fire hit the Boat and Canoe Club, destroying a storage building and $8,000 in equipment-members' canoes, camping and rowing equipment. Only one eight-oared shell, slower than the one used in the Philadelphia victory of the pre' v1ous year, was saved. But the club continued its ro,ving program, winning the singles and doubles events from Cadillac Boat Club of Detroit in a meet the same month at Ann Arbor. On ·July 10 Grand Rapids again met Detroit, \Vinning the singles, four and eight races. . . ·•···• w s a !'locial ""' ,.,.,JI a athletic c e n t e r. •...,, ::;::: *::: -·-··· T, .., ·- ':::--: ··-·.·.•. .lit e property now is fti ::::~ the cJ' ,house of the Ame~,can Legion, •:-::: !~~ ~i=~ :-::-;. ·}!:: .::·.:: ., -~:-: :;:;;; :~-,. h.• :::::: .... ~ -:❖• :·~•,: ~;: -~:•, ... !❖:- 1~! =·•·!, :::::: :=:::: :::::: ❖·•: '.:!(:[ '❖!, :,-:-: ... ...... ······ :-:❖ .:::::: ..... :;::~, .... :❖:• •=❖= :::::: •❖J. •••··• ·•·•·• :•x• ~~ •• ·' 'f' •.. •.• n.• ,;,:,; ·-~•.. .... ::~:: •'•'•' ,•u ...

On this note of triumph, the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe Club began to die. · Country clubs were springing up, the automobile was in its l1eyday and the Friday night dances in 'the clubhouse by the Grand River somehow seemed gay and exciting no longer. • • • In late 1928, less than a decade after its highest days of glory, the club offered its property and its 80-year lease on the land-owned by Grand Rapids Railway Co.-to the city for use as a park. The price was $5,000, the amount of a mortgage on property valued at $40,000, · • F, CHARLES McQUEWAN, left, who helped organize the Grand Rapids Boat f?::i: ❖'•'. ;~::: and Canoe Club, had the sad task of presiding over its liquidation.

And in June, 1941, the American Legion leased the property for use as a clubhouse. Two years later it ,vas sold to the Legion for $1,000. So was stilled the coxswain's chant on the Grand River: But, silent for almost 40 years, it soon will be heard again, Last April• 9, a 60-foot, eight-oared rowing shell arrived at Grand Valley State.

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.

Chonls I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, Then like my dreams, they fade and die. Fortune's always hiding. I've looked everywhere, I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. • 10 NOBODY KNOWS (A11d Nobody Seems to Care) I'm sad and lonely, There's a good reason why, Nobody cares about me, That1s why I'm sad as can be. I long for some one, Somebody, y~J, indeed, Lo, in' kisses from one Is exactly what I need. Chorus Many's the time I feel so lonesome, But nobody knows And nobody cares. I've grown so tired of being by my ''own some,'' I want somebody to hug, Cuddle and snug as comfy as a bug in a rug. Many's the time I feel like spooning, But nobody knows And nobody cares. I gt1ess I'll make out a little ''ad'' That I want some lovin' so bad 'Cause nobody knows And nobody see1ns to care. 1 11 I'LI.J SAY SHE DOES (No words necessary) 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Emery ADDRESS NEoPOLITAN lcE CREAM •• REPORT OF ELECTION TELLERS •• AssoRTED CAKE ' COFFEE ADJOURNMENT �THE CALL OF THE COACH 1 By Morris J. White LOVIN' SAM Here we are again, for our yearly fete, A round of stories and lightsome jest; From care and worry a slight rebate, In an hour's comraderie, aptly stressed; It is one of the things that I like the best. Like best but one-to the oarsman true, There's - a haunting call that can never restThe call of the coach: •'Give way! One·-two ! '' There's a charm in golf, with its art au fait, In motoring, fishing, a lure confessed; There's a thrill in hunting to compensate For the· tortuous trail of the wild game quest; You may count me in for the roughest test. Yes, count me in-but a!l seasons through, There's a latent cry of my heart possessedThe call of the coach: ''Give way! One-two!'' In the swirl of trade I participate, With civic duties am often pressed. Then, too, a luncheon, tete-a-tete, (With the only girl in the world, you've guessed) Gives a final touch to a life thrice blest. Not final touch-I'd all el~e eschew For a far flung voice, o'er the wavelet's crestThe call of the coach: ''Give way I One·-two !'' • Though a banquet's fine, with its cheer impressed, Give me a boat and a strong armed crew And the crisp commands that high laurels wrestThe call of the coach: ''Give way! One-two!'' ''After you have been called you must hitched.'' A new song by Bill Devereaux . . be , People call him Lovin' SamHe's the Sheik of Alabam', He's a mean love makin', a heart breakin' man! And when the gals go strollin' by Boy! he rolls a wicked eye! Does he step? Does he strut? That's what ·he doesn't do nothin' else but! Could you love like Lovin' Sam You could have you eggs and hamIn the finest kitchens down in Alabam'. You'd make the high-brown babies cry for ya, Like babies cry for Castoria I . They all love Lovin' SamThe Sheik of Alabam'. Phil. Thorndyke (about to have his picture taken)-Just a minute; I have forgotten my perfume. 2 MY SUNNY TENNESSEE I wanna be in Tennessee, in my Dixie paradise, An angel's voice I hear, I mean my mammy dear.

The >1ew court which was started last year will be completed and the old clay courts will be entirely rebuilt, placing them in better . condition than ever. The l\fichigan National Tournan1ent will be held at Muskegon this year. This is the first ti111e since it was first held, that this tournan1ent has come to Western Michigan.

What 111ore could our tennis players ask? The Michig·an National Tournament at the Muskegon Country Club, an hour's ride from Grand Rapids and the "\Vester11 Michigan Tournament right here at our own doors. Aren't these facts enoug·h to stir the ambitions of every man whether he plays tennis or not? No,,r come on, fel- •-.• ' lows, let's back up Ned Raiguel to the limit. Let's show him that the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe Club is on the map when it comes to tennis. When he starts the Roun:J Robin tourna111ent for the Club's entrants for the above tournaments let's answer him with that SPIRIT of ''Let's Go," and do it 100 per cent. ~- ROWING Jack Corbett, the l\iaster Oarsn1an, al1·eady has begun his work to coach our cr·ews and get them into condition for the season's activities of our club on the water. He sure has met with an abundance of g·ood new material to work with and with the Old Timers out i11 force, what could be more encouraging for our club and to Mr.-01· should we say Jack Corbett. He is ,vorking as hard with the men who come out for sculling as with the eight or four-men crews .. Joe Kortlander, the chairman of the rowing co111mittee, is on the job to assist Corbett, and Charlie Mac is ever present to help any one he sees or knows needs assistance on the art of rowing. The biggest event for the water side of our club will, of course, be the Central States Amateur Rowing· Association Regatta at Peoria July 7 and 8. Crews will be sent to this regatta and if we are going to continue to bring home the bacon, as our club's crews- have in the past, it means every one must take an interest in this sport. If you can't come out and row, encourage those who do devote so 111uch of their valuable time to it . We can't all be oarsmen, but we ca11 all be BOOSTERS. Now men, you who do want to represent our club, support these men who are helping you by trying to follow their instructions and being prompt when �Page OG.

CANOEING Perhaps there 111ay be some who are under the impression that a ca11oe is 111eant to be used for the pu1·pose of taking one's best girl to son1e quiet shady nook up the river· and then to partake of so111e wholesome food which the ''Dear One'' has worked so hard to prepare for the occasion and when the shade:c of night are beg·inning to fall to sit side by side and drift back to about ''Sweeney's place." Then arrange things, g·et back on your· percl1 and paddle like Sam Hills because you didn't hear when Bill fired the cannon at ten-thirty. No- that's not quite right. There is another canoeist more in den1and than the social canoeist. He is ~ real canoeist. Perhaps you wonder what sort of being he might be. Every yea1· the members of our club •, .- { I •, ✓ '-- . ' are invited to go on the different canoe trips held during the season. H.ow n1any of you make use of this p1·ivileg·e? If you want to get all there is in a canoe out of it, you s11rely must join in on so111e of these trips. Get out ·into the big out-of- doors a11d paddle for a few hours and you will feel the bette1· for it. On April 15 twenty-five fello\\- s made the first trip of the season Eron1 Rockford on the Rogue River. This is one of the most picturesque trips for a short trip any one ca11 1nake. It's scene1·y is beautiful and the river is chuck full of fast ra11ids, n1aking· it n1ost interesting·. On Saturday, the 6th of May, the Middleville trip on the Thorn:• lple "'·as taken. This is one trip the Olc1 Timers never ,vould n1iss and when they used to n1ake these trips, the advant.ag·es of shipping by truck were unheard of. Last year there were twenty-five boats 011 this triJ) , and this year· there were twenty The Lowell trip on Memorial Day i,, another one where one can enjoy the beauty of the Grand. Son1e years ago fifty canoes on this trip \\-'Ould be considered a small n11111ber, b11t last Memorial Day it had dwindled down to twenty. Now come on. Let's leave the old bus in the garag·e this year and have a real old tin1e canoe trip. Later on, the trip to Grand Haven is taken. Thi,; is the only trip where the canoes are shipped back instead of paddled If you have never paddled down to the n1ou th of the Grand you can't afford to miss this trip. This date · will be set in the near fut11re so you will have ample time to plan for it. No,v there is yet another canoeist. The fast paddler. His presence has not bee11 common enough of late. What's the matter? Surely he is needed. The annual Plainfield race! Gues·s I'll have to explain a little here. For years it was customary to bring the canoes, that is, tow them, up to Plainfield bridge. Then the crews of two men would race to the clubhouse. If you think you are a fast paddler get a partner and practice and when this race con1es arou11d you will be read}·. There is a record of time made. which i<s about fifty-six minutes, and this was made some years ago b~' old timers. Is this going to stand or are ,ve young· bucks going to beat it? Now the man who con1es out for these t1·ips and regattas is a Real, Social, Honest-to-Gosh Canoeist. • J~NTl~RTAINMENT This comn1ittee surely is hitting on all six. If any of you were out to the Get Together S•1 noker helil at the Pantlind the middle of March this fact stuck out like the J)roverbial ''sore thumb."

The Annual Smoker on May THE ~I~i\N AHEAD The n1an ahead believes in his 1)1·oposition, heart and soul. He dispels ill temper with cheerfulness, kills doubt with a st1·ong conviction and reduces active f1·iction with an agreeable personality. He 1nixes brains with efforts and uses efficient 1nethods in his work. He finds tin1e to do every needful thing, but never lets time find him c1oi11g nothing. He makes eve1·y hour bring dividends, increased knowledge or healthful recreation. He keeps his future unmortgaged with., debts;" he saves as well as earns. He steers clear of dissipation and guards his body and peace of 1nind. That's why he is the man ahead! . • CORRIGAN.
