Only Three Week-ends Till Henli Event: Standard Of Rowing Not High At Present fore the autumn regatta takes place Jand though several crews have been very assiduous with their training, majority have not attained a sufciently high standard of rowing to be considered serious opposition the keener crews. In general the standard of rowing has fallen off and It is necessary for those who intend compete in the regatta to make the most in the last three weeks to attain a better style, This applies {to the international crews as well as to those practising for other races and Il is to be hoped that oarsmen will take this to heart and make a serious endeavour to make up for the lime wasted earlier in the season.
After the lack of interest shown tu the earlier stages of training, it ig now. heard that the Scots are planning to muster an eight, Alter their excellent" showing last spring, the Scottish looked like strong contenders for international honours this autumn and with a wealth of material available, it would be a great pity if they drop out of the competition altogether. It will be remembered that a similar state of affairs existed in the earlier training for the spring regatta, and after the apathy shown in the earlier months, very energetic and definitely pro finising Scottish crew were made up. Tt is believed that a similar effort being made, even at this late date, to muster an eight and with Hudson, 'White, Neilson, Stott, Calder, Moore, Robinson, Drew, snd Simpson to draw from, something should be achieved. During the past week a four went out including. White, Neilson, Sinclair and Stott, indicating that a' four could be raised and hopes of the eight are now quite bright.
