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 The American Rowing Almanac and Oarsman's Pocket Companion, 1874 It was a great source of pleasure and pride to find my little work of so much practical service - as at all the numer ous races and regattas which I attended I saw it in many hands and often used. The second issue, 74, now in your possession, is much more perfect and beautiful in its mechanical construction than the first, and in the Appendix to the Almanac of '73, which is added to this edition, will be found a number of corrections and records of races previously omitted on account of the very imperfect reports of aquatic events prior to the establishment of Our Boating Department' in the Tmf, Field and Farm, and which have since come to hand.

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.

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.

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.

Download or read book The Cornell Navy written by C. V. P. Young and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cornell Navy: A Review In the following pages I have attempted to give, not so much a detailed account of the numerous events participated in by the Cornell Navy, as an accurate and brief survey of salient points in its history, beginning with its foundation in the Fall of 1871. The following record has been gleaned from the perusal of University records (Cornell Era, Magazine, Sun, etc.) from interviews with various interested alumni, and especially with Mr. Courtney, and also from correspondence with members of various crews. Its compilation is the result of a suggestion made by President Schurman, whose recognition of the value of manly outdoor sport as an important adjunct to University work has been a constant source of encouragement to the writer in his efforts to promote the same at Cornell; and also, I might add, whose public expression of his liberal and progressive views concerning physical training has done much to encourage aquatic sports among the students. Acknowledgment is due Mr. J. P. Troy, of Ithaca, N. Y., for the use of pictures of the 1906 Races at Poughkeepsie, also to Messr. W. T. Littig & Co., of New York, for the picture of the Cornell University Campus appearing at the end of the book, also to Mr. C. W. Beck, Jr. of The Beck Engraving Co., Philadelphia, for valuable suggestions and special care in making the plates in this book.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
