Carroll Single-Sculling Cup.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I want to suggest that a committee of active rowing or sculling men be appointed to arrange the competitions for the Royal Phelps Carroll perpetual challenge cup for single scullers. I would suggest that the University crew captain and the two boat-club captains be on this committee, together with a graduate, undergraduate or Faculty member.

As to the length of the race, the generally accepted distance for amateur sculling races is one and one-half miles with a turn, that is, three-quarters of a mile straightaway and back. The preparation for this race would then be practice for the regatta held by the Metropolitan Rowing Association on June 17 each year. That it might be a preparation for this larger contest, the cup should be rowed for during the first two weeks of June or earlier. Thus at least three or four days might intervene between the Carroll Cup race and the Metropolitan event. A.W. STEVENS '97.
