...initial importance that we should obtain a clear idea of what the method of amateur coaching employed here at Cambridge involves in actual practice. In the first place the coaching system is by no means uniform throughout the various sports; nor in fact is it even entirely amateur, the varsity cricket teams being under the tutelage of professionals. In the second place it is essential to distinguish sharply between the university and the college teams. There is little more connection between them here than there is between university and class teams at Harvard, and the coaching to which they...
...whole I believe that Harvard would find little of profit to be gleaned from the Cambridge system of handling varsity athletics. It would undeniably be of advantage to the Harvard Athletic Association if it could persuade coaches to serve without pay, but otherwise there would be no point in taking any of the leaves but of the English coaching book. If, for instance, we at Harvard are to have any outside assistance for our teams at all--and English practice affords the advocate of purely undergraduate coaching small encouragement--we may as well have it for the whole...
Rowing differs markedly from most other sports here in that the time given to practice and training of necessity far outweighs that occupied in actual competition. It is consequently in rowing that the most highly developed system of coaching exists. The best oars in the college boat club divide up the various crews among them and each carries, insofar as is possible, the same boat through the particular training period in question. On the whole the system works very well. The veteran oarsmen usually know the fundamentals of rowing, as traditionally taught in their college, pretty thoroughly and attain...
...soon as several of the new House units have attained actual, in place of prospective existence, Harvard is going to be faced with an enlargement and reorganization of intra-mural sports. Incidentally the House system ought to revitalize intra-mural athletics in furnishing them with the vigorous competitive element they so badly need at present. But however this may be, the problem of coaching the House athletic groups is going to be of great importance. And it seems to me that Harvard can profit materially by the experience of her parent university, both as to what might be imitated...
