ROWING. Details of our successes in the various events we have entered for this term are recorded fully below, but we feel that some general explanation about the crews will show more clearly what our successes have really been. At the beginning of the term we had two colours who were not eligible to row in what the rowing world calls ' maiden events, because of their success in winning a cup at Stockton-on Tees Regatta last year. After careful consideration we decided that from the point of view of style in rowing it would be helpful and desirable once again to coach a crew able to row in the light ship. After our successes with the first and second crews in beating Nottingham High School, at Nottingham, we immediately put the first crew into " Sally " and this crew trained for the White Rose Challenge Cup at York Regatta. We feel that although the crew was not successful in winning a race the experience of rowing in a light ship and the attainment of the style and standard of rowing is beneficial to the crew and well worth the experience. This first crew also rowed at Durham Regatta and after winning one race lost by a narrow margin to a crew from Leeds University—a crew which had improved very considerably since the time when they were beaten in a friendly race at York prior to the Regatta. The successes of our second and third crews in winning cups at the Tyne Regatta and Stockton-on-Tees Regatta in the maiden events has been due almost entirely to the keen and hard working spirit shown by those crews and they are to be congratulated most heartily on the successes which bring two Challenge Cups to the School in one year. In a review of our rowing activities for the term we must not forget to make mention of the fourth, fifth and sixth crews who have, shall we say, ploughed the waters with no hope of reward. They must remember that with any luck their time will come another year. '
