COURTNEY DEAN OF
ROWING COACHES
Charles n. , or "Old Mau" Courtney ,
na bo Is more familiarly known , Is the
dean of American rowing coaches lie
has turned out moro champion crows
than any other ooadi lu this country-
more , In fact , than all the others com-
blnod. Snnii' persons have attempted
to minimize lili ability with the ex
plnnnllnti that oarsmen grow in the
CIlAltLBS H. COTTnTHBT.
Invigorating climate of Lake Cnyupa ,
but Cornoll's annual successes are duo
more to Courtney's almost infallible
judgment In the selection of bid ours-
men Dial his rare skill in rigging a
boat than to the natural advantages
which he and bis crews enjoy.
Courtney has been connected with
Cornell's rowing from its Infancy ami
has done moro than any other man in
tbla country to develop college rowing
to Us present high stats of efficiency.
Courtney Is a strict disciplinarian
and never tolerates any violation of
training rulos. lie baa been known
at tinier to "tiro" an entire crew and
to win with an eight of green men. As
a rule , be is considerate with his ours-
men , but iusista upon attention to busi
ness.
The most recent example of his dis
cipline and relenting spirit occurred
Just prior to the departure of his crews
for the recent Poughkeepslo nice.
Three members of the freshman eight
had been found guilty of breaking
training rules to the extent of eating
Ice cream. Courtney "tired" them on
tbo spot , but ho took them along to
Poughkeepsle , and when he thought
they had been sufficiently punished ho
replaced them In the boat. Now they
are known as the "Ice cream kids , " a
name that will probably stick to them
during their undergraduate days.
