school eight-oared shells, over a one-mile course. at the Canadian Henley, held at St. Catharines, last July. At the command of the coxswain we dipped our oars and, on reaching open Water, began to buck the twenty-five mile wind which was whipping up a sea on the course. Finally, however, the starter's boat was reached and, as Lachine and Hamilton were waiting, the three crews took up their assigned positions and Hjockeyedn for the start. In those few tense seconds, as we were expecting the starter's gun to go off at any moment, many thoughts dashed through our minds, one of the uppermost being the determination to do our best to uphold the honour of Humberside in her new field of endeavour. Due partly to the high wind, there was trouble in getting the crews into line. However. the starter was patient and .... Crack! the race was on. The twenty-four oars gripped the water, as the crews vied to break away for the best start. Humberside had a fast getaway, and during the first quarter-mile had a half-length lead over Lachine and Hamilton. The decisive point was near the half-mile mark, where the full effect of the wind and waves was felt. Lachine and Hamilton. stroking about forty-two to the minute against Humberside's thirty-eight, gained little by little till the boats were in the order: Lachine, Hamilton, Humberside, in which position they finished. The race is over but the members of the crew will not soon forget their experiences and feeling during those gruelling minutes of their first Henley contest. Next summer, with more support from the student body and with experience gained in her first attempt, Humberside should be able to sponsor an eight which would equal her hockey, basketball, and rugby teams, in upholding her sporting reputation.
