Olympic Village, Berlin, Saturday. The news that the formidable Japanese eight-car crew, fa- vourites at Henley Regatta, which was dreaded most of all by the other Olympic crews, had been beaten easily by six lengths by a Swiss crew, reached here only this morning, when it was |discussed eagerly in all its details because of its prospective efect
on the Olympic Regatta.
The Henley course is 1 1/3 English miles, that is, 2,145 metres, (as against the Olympic course of 2,000 metres, and hence forms {a fair basis for comparison.
The Swiss crew pulled 43 and the Japanese 48 strokes to the minute. A striking fact was that the Swiss only led by a -length till half way and then, although the Japanese increased their stroke, they were left behind by the Swiss.
The Australian Olympic coach, Mr. McKenzie, who is here now, expressed the opinion that no 8-dar crew could maintain 48 strokes over such a long distance, this explaining the Japanese collapse. Other Olympic crews have taken this cue and will re-
gulate their stroke accordingly.
