TO TllH l-JDITOB OF THE AGE,
Kir,— -Mr. XliomtiH itowan says that "it Is
a notorious fact tllitl at least one of the
crews In the bead of the river races
has contained professionally .twined nt'oti of
twenty. If "ineu of twenty" have rowed
—nnd tlmt. they have done so is Within
Mr. ltOWali's knowledge, and not merely
a "notorious fact"— it is his duty to' lot the
pttXdic know, as, if so, the rules have been
broken. No. 7 of the public schools
regulations for athletic contests runs us
follows: — "All members of teams atid
crews shall be under twenty years of age
on the day of the nmtelt or l-uee." "The
regulations ought to provide that head
masters shollld certify to the bona tides ot
all contestants." Jltles Mr. Kuwait mean
that he as not satisfied with the head
masters' guarantee?
Secondly, what does lie mean by "pro
fessionally trained,'' and his Statement
that "trainers should be illttatouts" ? l)oes
lu! kliOW Ol ttlty instance where they are
not? if so. why not openly state it?
One ounce of real fact Would be worth a
ton of "notorious fact."— Youra, Ac.,
it. K. d. SI MONET.
