Keeping Rowing Alive
Rowing has been hit harder by the war than almost any other sport and many of the up-river clubs have closed down altogether, but the Excelsior, with commendable enterprise, have been encouraging schools in the district to take up the sport and this far-seeing policy should bring them rich reward when peace-time conditions return. Last week the County Boys’ School, Latymer School, an Eton Excelsior crew and a four from the Royal Army Service Corps staged some races which were keenly contested and resulted in the County School winning from the Excelsior. Vic. Hobbs, Cyril Dyson, Vic. ?ood and others of the Excelsior who are devoting their spare time to coaching these youngsters. deserve a hearty vote of thanks, they are keeping rowing alive and doing their club a very good turn.
