A) r T YEAR FOR ROWING IN CANADA

l3.v ALECK SINCLAIR

‘Vlttt f\s'e;>t the championships of North America year after year in Ill“ 5°""“' Ellllllsu .lunior liigltts. Senior Fours, junior Fours and Sltttzlcs--—w|ieii the fame of t.he Toronto Argonauts was known the cnntinent over.

The war played havoc with all Canadian rowing clubs, the -"\"fZ<‘>it;ttits lost fifty, and other.» in like proportion. Bin rowing is coining back again in Canada and we should soon see Canadians tztving the Americans merry competition.

At the last Olympic, the L'ni\'er.sity of Toronto coached by Professor “Tommy” l.oudcn, added to the fame of Canadian oa rsmcn getting second place in the Senior Eights, being beaten only hy '1 ale.«which Joe Wright describes as being in his opinion “the fastest crew that ever sat in the Senior Eights." Last year Lachine took thelntcrmediate Eight Championsltip at Philadelphia.

In 1926, Canada was unfortunate to lose the Hanlan Memorial Trophy, one of the greatest rowing prizes of America, to the \\yandottes of \\'yandotte, Mich. lt represents the Eight Oar Championship of Canada. lt has been lifted only twice by foreign crews. The year before last. Coach Joe Wright brought up a crew from the l’cnnsyl\'ania Athletic Club which won it for the first time; then Wyatidtitttes repeated last year.

This year it is the hope of all Canadian oarsmen to see it ltrttllgltl back to Canada. \\'ith the Olympics in sight. for I913. "Tontniy" Louden will have four of his Olympic crews back in the \'ar.sity lﬂight and this will give him a wonderful nucleus for a championship crew. Joe \\ right should bring out .1 great crop of oarsmen for the Argonauts and with what is happening in other rotting clubs Canadals cltances should bring the Hanlan .\lemorial Trophy back to this couutr_\.

With a new crop of oarsmen coming up. there is no lack of coaches in this country equal to any in the world. joe Wright will. ofcourse. coach the Argonauts again. Then in “Tommy” Louden Toronto University has one of the really great coaches ——a professor in Varsity. an engineer with .1 scientific mind. and a man who was coxswaitt for Joe \\'right‘.s Argonauts Senior Eight crew which still holds the world's record made at Baltimore in 1907.

The Lachine Rowing Club. which has for years turned out splendid crews, will have entries in all the senior ex ents. They will
