PENN BARGE FOUR IN
SHELL ONL Y 12 DA YS
Local Champions and
Olympic Entires Never
I Roiued 'in Race Until
June 19
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK
rp WAS one of those prematurely
warm dnys In Inst March. Four
.mine chaps wit around the boathousc
It the IVnnvlvnnla Barge Club nloiiB
the Schuylkill. The river, calm ami
smooth, looked Inviting. Home one
5'rf Hwln.ml.ilt. Too coW. An
o'h'oY .aid "It ' row. " The answer
A unanimous, "Let 8 go.
They jumped Into n four-oared gig
ml nut out from the (dip. The nlr
,a, arm enough to put the tingle of
,nrinr In their bodies nnd cold enough
to nut the snap of speedy In their
J ml . ..& nil tfif t tins .1.
strokes, incy rai mm-nn-i m.--snlte
the fact that It was the first time
the) ever sot In the same boat.
After the pull nt the onrn they hnd
that tired phjslcnl feeling that's ro
frchiiiK nt times. They agreed to to
ft anafn together, nnd no they often
prc seen splashing nround In the gig.
No one paid nny particular attention
to them. They were allowed to drift
for themselves, n makeshift crew.
Metorlc Advance
That nH four, short months ngo.
Vcxt month that makeshift crew com
petes for America against the best in
the world.
One of 'he members of the four never
railed an onr in his life until he joined
'the club Inst Starch. The other three
hare done some rowing, but they are
far from experienced nnd polished
oarsmen. They just jumped from the
notice to the top of America, where
thev're resting now.
That's the story of the Pennsylva
nia llarge four-onred crew which won
the nation! senior chnmplonship and
Olmypic tilnl nt Worcester Saturday,
and by so doing put the rowing fra
ternity to tnlklnc as It never has tnlked.
In that race the Penn Barge novices
beat the vternn oarsmen from the ecu
nr IJont Club and from the Duluth
Ront Club, the reputed mnsters of
four-onred shells. It was th? movf
ciirnrlsinc reversal of done In the his
tory of the gnme. It una to rowing
what d'feitt to Itill Tilden b
Miles Vnli'iitine. the fourteen-year-old
MHitiEster from the Oermantown Cricket
Clubwnuld bo to tennis.
Not until he wns admitted to mem
bership last March did Keut Mcrs,
who pulled a strong oar for the Penn
blades at bow. ever sit in a gig. not
to mention n shell, nud the other thrre
members of thai quartet, Carl Kloss nnd
the Fcderschmidt brothers, Erich and
Prnnz, never rowed in laces until this
tenwn. Sam Hunter, the coxswair,
has the only experience In the shell.
First Itaco June 10
The crew entered its first race in the
Schuylkill Navy regatta on June 11)
They surprised by winning the four
oared gig race. On July 5 they copped
the intermediate gig event in the Peo
ples' clnsslc. Then on July 12. twe!e
lajr before they rowed in the Olympic
trials, they jumped into a shell for th"
first time.
After the Penn oars flashed In front
of the field In the International nice
last Friday' rowing critics threw water
on the victory fire. "It wns n fluke,"
they said. "An accident. Only n
flash In the pan. They won't have a
chance in the Olympic trial.''
In the senior event on Saturday they
were trailing the Century four nt the
(hiee-quarter mile mark.
"You're wabbling like a wash
woman," the Century coxswnin shouted
through his megaphone to the Penn
lad. "Come on, there, Pennsylvania!
Aet like u regular crew ! Make believe
you know something! Try to get uh!"
Sam Hunter paid no heed for a mo
ment at the challenge. Then ho gave
his leashed lions the rope. He called
for u spurl and these novices responded
like seasoned and Iron veterans. They
caught Century and never saw them
again, winning by four lengths of open
water.
Too Much for Ten Eyck
Not the lenst among those astounded
t the Penn victory was old Jim Ten
Erk, vvteinn Syracuse coach.
"Why, I cnVr believe it," ho said
iter the iace. "That crew without any
experience or any coaching to win an
Oljmplc trial. It was a 100 to 1 shot.
I wish 'em luck. They deserve it."
Together with the four members of
the ii-l'w and their coxswain, Coach
Percy Wall, who recently has tuken
charge, Sidney Mollard, a! substitute,
and Ja(k Kelly,, of Vesper, the singles
winner, Paul Costello, the joint winner
of the doubles with Kelly, nnd Conch
J rank Muller will leave this country
for Antwerp on August 5.
Fiom noviies to national champions
in four months Is a reality. From
novices to world's champions, in five
months Is a very strong possibility.
Hon ojugc and good luck, Pennsjl

ny LAWRKNCK PKRRY
Highlands, X. J,, July 127. Resolute
nnd Shnmrock IV left their moorings
Inside Sandy Hook shortly after 10
o'clock thh morning, prepared to make
another attempt to sail off tho deciding
race of the America's Cun series, which
now stands two and two. It may not
be said there was 1 great deal of en
thusiasm over the event. Certainly
not In this section of the South Jersey
Highlands.
For yesterday's drifting mntch. fol
lowing upon the refusal of the racing
yachts to risk their fragile fabric In the
wholesall breezes of Saturday, was bound
to hnve a disheartening tffctt upon al
most every one. Tt nppenred as though
even tne sailors ni the two sloops tliein
selves were getting rather wenry of this
nffnir. At least they set sail this morn
ing In n manner which struck the
observer as perfunctory, certainly with
none of that vim which characterized
their demeanor in prolous races.
Today's event invoMd n fifteen-mile
bent to windward nnd then a run before
the wind, or vice versa, It all depends
upon the direction of the breezes. .So
one ventured in the enrly morning hours
to say what the wind conditions would
be. For at this time of jear clouds
boll up over the horizon which appear
to be filled with wind and jet are only
laden with dnshes of rain. If anything
nt all, while nt other times the finest
breezes come out of skies which hnve
no definite character.
Hvery one was whistling for at lenst
enough wind to- blow the racers over
the course within the time limit, of six
hours today, whistling the more fer
vently Innsinuch ns memorv holds record
of some drearily protracted America's
Cup events.
A Depressing Drift
I recall one occasion when there were
six or seven flukes before cup sloops
worn nfiln to ComlllCte a mCC. It S all U

YcMtorrlnv's rnce was a depressing I
drift of this sort. The onlv thing re
vealed was .what every one alrendv
knows that' in the doldrums the de
fender can move better than the Sham- I
rock. The yachts were sent away on

Tacking off shore, the single stickers
had sailed down the coast within a mile i

reeded to navigate their vessels in such
manner as to make the murk, now lying
to windward, In as few tacks as pos
sible. The wind at the time was still
holding at not more than two or three
miles an hour, and in the end the re- ,
gntta committee, seeing that It would be
impossible to finish the rnce within the
stipulated time of six hours, set signals
calling off the rnce.

"I haven't lost faith. In Shamrock

shamrocks are lucky. She's a
mighty good boat and I won't give
up until she id benten the third

the lost twenty -one jcars trying to
win the cup. It will be the happiest
event of my life if I win and I hope
to do so before I die, if Shamrock IV
fulls me."
"I know that is so," remarked a
close friend of Sir Thomas on the
