Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing and Sculling While it is intended here to discuss the whole art and its concomitants from first principles upwards, it must not be supposed that these chapters are capable of, or aspire to, teaching rowing from first principles to a tyro who has never handled an oar. Some writers on the subject have attempted such a style of education, commencing even with an abstract definition of what rowing or sculling, as the case may be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instruction and Hints on Rowing Rowing must not be confounded With sculling. In rowing you use but one oar, or sweep, and in sculling you use a pair of oars, properly called sculls. I will write on the former subject, (rowing) first, and give points on sculling after Wards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing For the rest, I have endeavoured to make the rowing instructions which will be found in this book as concise as was compatible with perfect clearness, assuming at all times that I was ad dressing myself first of all to the novice. No doubt other oarsmen will differ here and there from my conclusions. Absolute unanimity on every detail of rowing is not to be expected. All I can do is to assure my readers that nothing has been set down here the truth and accuracy of which I have not proved - at least, to my own satisfaction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Rowing: With Scull and Sweep; And the Effects of Training Time may have been when rowing existed only as a means of getting from one place to another on the water, - a time which need not concern the present treatment Of the subject, except as it fur nishes examples for comparison with the art or, as it has come to be, the sport Of rowing to-day. Rowing very naturally divides itself into two branches; under one, head comes Sculling or in dividual rowing, under the other head Rowing properly so called, collective and organized sweep rowing in pairs, fours, and eights.

Blackwood and Sons for permission to reprint "The Perfect Oar" from "Crumbs of Pity," published by them; and To the Editor of the Rowing Almanack for permission to reproduce in the Appendix the tables of winning crews. I have endeavoured to illustrate the various movements and positions of the stroke by means of photographs. It was, of course, impossible for me to obtain the services of an eight-oared crew for this purpose, and I have had to confine myself, therefore, chiefly: (1) to photographs of a single individual, and (2) to photographs of a pair-oar, both at rest and in motion.

Download or read book Rowing written by E. J. Giannini and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing: Complete Manual With Illustrations and Valuable Advice The standard of rowing is maintained by the universities and col leges of Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell hythe preparatory schools - St. Paul's in particular - and by the principal rowing and athletic clubs - New York A. C., Atlanta, Nassau, Dauntless and many others too numerous to mention. Of course, club matches - in which the generic term may be included college and other races at the universities - tend to uphold it. That it should fluctuate from time to time is a necessity, and that in occasional years it is of an exceptionally good class is only natural, as likewise that in others, it falls to a comparatively low pitch. Speed has increased - of that there is no doubt. The science of coaching is more fully known and more readily comprehended than in days gone by, and, when divested of the, humbug and bewildering technicalities with which it had been needlessly surrounded, is found a far simpler task than it was believed to be. The art of training has been rescued from the depths of empiricism, in which it was too long suffered to dwell and in which the ignorant prejudices of illiterate professionals, who at one time usurped the coaching of amateurs, purposely kept it. At the present time it is conducted on the principles of common sense and hygiene, and so far from being involved in mystery, is now noth ing more nor less than an adhesion to a few simple rules of bathing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rowing: Complete Manual, With Illustrations and Valuable Advice; Laws of Boat Racing An oarsman about to row, having taken his oar in hand, should proceed to embark. This he should do by laying the blade of his oar in the water, if on the outside, or on the float if on the shore-side oar, and then stepping into the boat with his face to the stern, putting one foot on the keelson, lengthwise not athwart it, for fear of forcing his toe or heel through the boat - and stooping, should let himself down gently on the seat by placing aband on each gunwale. He should next ship his oar, placing the handle in the rowlock outside. He should sit square and exactly opposite the handle of his oar, not askew. The body should be erect, with the shoulders slightly thrown back and the elbows close to the flanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Rowing: A History of Boat-Racing at Oxford From the Earliest Times, With a Record of the Races Besides these, we have to thank many correspondents, too numerous to mention individually, to whose kind ness in answering letters it is due that there are so few gaps in our records. We are, above all, indebted to the officers of the various boat clubs, who have placed their books so un reservedly at our disposal. We are happy to have been able to some extent to return this kindness, by having been the means of restoring the long-lost records of one boat club to its college, and we hope that the publication of other losses may lead to yet further restorations. With regard to these records we would urge most strongly that in every case they should be duplicated, and that one copy should be kept in the college library. They pass through so many hands, and, sooner or later, they are sure to come into the custody of the careless or casual, and when lost it is impossible that they should be replaced.

Excerpt: ... will raise the average he must stay where he is. Somebody must always be at the tail end of the average unless all are equal. It is in comparing a man's work for his weight with that of another that the greatest difficulty often arises. It must be borne in mind in choosing a crew that apart from sheer work, absence of faults must weigh to-some extent. It is no use for a man to work hard on his own hook if his faults hinder other men from doing their best. But this will be treated of more fully in analysis of faults and other remedies in a later chapter. CHAPTER VII. ANALYSIS OF FAULTS--FAULTY FINISH--WRONG GRASP-- OVERREACH--MEETING OAR--ROWING DEEP. When a crew has been picked and set into regular practice, the task of the crew will be, of course, to correct individual faults, and to inculcate uniformity. ' Though the latter is the most important element of eight or four-oared rowing by the time the race is due, so much so, that every-day experience exhibits weak but uniform crews defeating others physically and individually superior to them, but which have not acquired uniform time and swing, yet too often in early practice a coach allows his main energies to be expended too much in objurgations against bad time and swing. "Time" is called and admonished every half-minute to the exclusion of correction of the very faults of form which probably are at the root of the inequality of time. In the first row or two behind a strange stroke a man may be inaccurate in time without, perhaps, being radically wrong in form; but so soon as he has got used to the stroke he knows an absence of time must be ascribed to some other radical E fauit, and it would be much more to the point if the coach would devote his energies to tracing out and...

A valuable paper in the Appendix on the subject of the Sliding Seat, contributed by the Rev. T. H. T. Hopkins, m.a., Magdalen College, Oxford, will be read with interest by rowing men. The illustrations shewing the difference in action and position of the stroke in rowing with the fixed and sliding seats, are taken from photographs from the life, and drawn on wood by Mr. A. Macdonald of the University School of Art. I have also to tender my sincere thanks to the Press for the invaluable assistance which it has given me in this work.
