Not at 78--As for 75, Youthful ~Those Less Than 40 ix Are Just Beginners. «| When James H. Reilly and Fred | Plaisted arranged to scull one an- other a mile and a quarter on the | Schuylkill river, a good many of their friends satd they were as young | as they were only above their eye- | brows. At seventy-eight and seventy-five | years of age, respectively, these {friends sald they were two plucky old | imen to think of such a thing as go-| 'ing in for athletics, but these same | friends added that they didn't think | so much of the quality of the pair's | judgment, such a contest would kill | 'em, it was predicted. | They raced, however, and Plaisted { covered the course in 8 minutes and | 36 seconds, which is considerably better than a lot of men can do at the top of their youthful powers | As the younger of, the two, Plaie- | ted ought to have won as he did, bu? Reilly set him a hot pace and he got as many cheers as hls successful ri-| val did. { Fifty years ago Rellly and Plaisted were champions. Through all the] decades they've kept in condition by a little paddling each summer. It was Plaisted who issued the | challenge. He was ready to row any | sculler above 70 he sald, and at first | Jim Ten Byck took him up, but later | he changed his mind, saying he | guessed he was a little past such] strenuous exercise. Then along came the veteran Rell- | ly from Saratoga ----- Plaisted is a Philadelphian--and said he didn't propose to let the latter get away with the idea that he, Reilly, | was afraid of him on account of his quarter of a dozen years' advantage. And for that matter, he added that he wasn't so sure it was an advantage either, because at 78 4 man was more mature than he was at.75, and prob- ably possessed more strength and en- durance. Oarsmen a couple of generations more youthful report that they learn- | #d quite a bit from seeing these two old-timers tearing along the water in 'competition with one another. They announce now that they In- tend to row together each year as long they feel fit enough. As for Hilton Belyea, Reilly and Plaisted agree that he's a mere be- ginner. All Belyea is, is 35, and he himself admits he hasn't come into his own yet. He aspires to the world title as a single shell pilot. People call him the "human steamboat." He rigs his craft, so far as the matter of propulsion Is concerned, as nearly as he can on steamboat prin- ciples. The wider his oar blades are, the more force he can put on them, and the faster he can go, he says. They measure more than 13 inches across, which is peculiar, but within the rules of amateur oarsmanship. Belyea is the St. John's N. B, fisherman who holds the Cadadfan singles championship, and who, at the recent regatta of the National As- sociation of Amateur Oarsmen of America on the Schuykill at Phila- delphia, where Rellly and Plaisted staged their contest, won the associ- ation singles also. The Canadian native coure is the St. John's river. Scattered along thia stream are many small islands upon which cattle graze. These animals are sent to swim to the islands from the New Brunswick shore for their rations, and part of Belyea's training Is to row behind herds of them, to see that they go Herd- a bit out of the ordinary but Belyca says it's good training. That, and current is too swift for him. A few years ago Belyea was hurled from a bicycle against a rock and the repairs a surgeon was compelled to maké on him included a riveting of a plate over a damage place in his skull. His right eye was some- what affected by this accident but It doesn't interfere' with his rowing, which he says he intends to continue until he has accumulated a good many mors titles. Limestones' Future Looks Very Bright | The outlook for the Limestones Rugby Club for this fall is becomung increasingly bright as the season | the formation of the club are very optimistic for the future. A letter was received from the O.R.F.U. yes. take up the matter of forming an eastarn group at once and that pros- | pects in that direction were very) favorable. Part of the equipment of the team has arrived and the remainder is ordered and expected shortly, The uniforms are after the same atyie worn by the large American Uni. versities with black and gold sweaters and stockings and long khaki breeches, well padded high above the waist. The first game for this team will be on September 30th when they will meet the Royal Mill- tary College seniors at the Richard- son stadium in an exhibition tit. Af. ter that, there may be O.R.F.U. fix- tures, or a straight run of exhibition games.
